are rotarys good for going on long trips??? anything to look for before going on an hr drive down the highway?

 

Heh. An hour drive is a long drive to you? Funny...

I drove my TII from Naples to Tallahassee when I first bought it, and it's since taken me to Gainesville and back. Your car will love you for it - gives it a chance to clean some of the carbon out of the motor. Bring some good CDs, a fine woman, and drop the windows and the sunroof! You'll be pIMpiN'!

(CHECK THE OIL BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER THE TRIP)

Long drives... I thought he meant a couple of days.

An hour is just a trip down to the airport or into the "city" for me.

trip pointers:
Check your tire pressure
check your oil and fluids
make sure you have a spare water bottle for you in case you get thristy on your hour drive.

 

lol.... yeah i'm driving to my sisters house its about an hr and 10 mins away my bro has to drop off his rex to fix clutch MC and get all the bs wires takin off. and to adjust his bronze clutch that he got for $60. gonna race him a little bit down there. who u think will win?? 1st gen with straight pipe or 2nd gen with straight pipe???

 

If both are NA and not heavily modded out, I'd say your brother will take the taco. The FBs much lighter than our FCs. Give 'im hell, anyway.

well i have everything in my sig. and my bro has header straight piped, and he got his carb tweaked a little from voltron rotary in winter haven. anyone ever heard of them???

 

forgot to include sig... DUH
oh and racing him were talking from about 70 mph? will he more top end then me....

 

I've just done this driving from Las Vegas from Sac, which is about a 6-7 hour drive...

I'd recommend keeping a set of belt, radiator hoses (upper and lower), two gallons of coolant, a couple bottles of oil, and a gas container...

I normally keep a bunch of rags and a good assortment of tools to take care of 90% of the service I need to do on the car.

think i could take em???? anyone????

 

Well, it depends if he has a GSL-SE. If he does, with equal mods - he might be able to keep up with you. If he has the 12A - Then you will take him...with your mods..no doubt.

 

he's got an 85GSL. 5 speed headers straight piped. thats it

 

i've done 23!!! 7 hour trips in my 91 n/a. to and from school for the past 3 years. perfect everytime

i've done 1, 16 hour drive in my T2 and 2, 7 hour trips in it. runs great...

 

i do a 6 hr drive from home to college (9 times now)......usually make it in about 5 only problem i had was when i first went out there...it was about 100 degrees and my radiator was ****....overheated like a bitch .......but its all gravy now

 

Fort Worth to Corpus Christi's Malaquite Beach. 435 miles each way. Drive to...windsurf...drive back the same day. 870 miles. 10 plus times a year.Only two stop lights each way.

 

glad it has cruise control for long trips. I've driven ~8hrs straight before with no problems. Of course I keep my cars tuned and the rubber gaskets & pipes fresh

 

Last Sept, a week after the planes struck in NY, I took my FC from WA to Colorado and back. Had no problems at all. I also drive about 90 a day to and from work.

Just keep up on basic mantenance and tuning and you should be fine.
