I pinged mine, but lifted immediately, and got a cracked apex seal with no spit out parts.
It still runs fine but has a rhythmic miss at idle, with low rear compression on 2 faces.
J-spec is on its way.
(And it WILL get a ported waste gate)

What happens when your average rotary goes out anyways? Do the apex seals just shatter, or do they wear to a point where they all of a sudden don't seal enough for compression any more?

The other common damage cause is overheating, which leads to excessive oil consumption.

when I start my car up it rhythmically misses a little. After it warms up it's fine. I think it's just that cars typically run a little richer when cold though. Am I wrong? Should I try to check my compression?

when mine went out i was having probs keeping it started...though it was something else and got it driving again...while i was driving i would lose power at random times and then it would just kick back in...then on the last one it back fired and never started again...

My coolant line to the turbo broke and all the coolant poored out of my car, I was at a stop light when the add coolant buzzer came on...so i pulled over and coolant was everywhere.
The next day it started right up...but when I drove it for like 30 mins and then let it cool down and then say like 5 mins later get back in, it would just flood like a mother f*cker. Took like 6 trys to unflood one time. About a month later it flooded and when i was driving I heard some hesitations and could go to redline for some reason...then 1 week later it blew the front rotor...196,000 orignal miles though...can't complain at that...
