bought my first rotary
Any way I just wanted to say hi to all you. You have all conviced me that the rotary is a good choice. I have made my first purchase of one today for 600$ its an 87 gxl and its white. The body is in mint condition but the engine runs off of one rotor, smokes alot, and was flooded when I got there. I am probably going to purchace a new motor from Mazda in the near futur. Any way just wanted to say Hi.

good luck with your engine dude.
Prepare yourself for when it is done you are going to have a lot of mustang owners pissed off at you for beating them with "what car is that" and "it is a V8 right?" just laugh at them and run for the car if they are bigger than you you know they wont keep up after you get in the car.

the 7 is going to be my new driver car. it wont be modified for about 2 years its going to stay stock and just drive me from point a to point b. I love the car and its nice looking and if i put a new engine in it i thinnk it would have no problem getting me from a to b reliably.

You should rebuild the current motor yourself. It really isn't that difficult.... and it would certainly be cheaper. There is a guy on this forum who builds motors for people too..... good prices, and I haven't heard any negative Feedback. I forget his name..... something like Hypnytize... anyways he should pop up any time now.

Keep Right Except to Pass

A compression check will tell you one way or the other. I guess I'm just saying that before you get a new engine, make double sure that it's not just something funky going on. Rotaries will do all sorts of weird stuff.
Welcome to the world of rotaries.
