i was just wondering if rotorys tend to run really good right before they blow? cuz my car is just loving me right now.
it has 160k on it
88 gxl NA

 

if so my cars been ready to blow for 6 months

 

Lol, same here. I guess the moon was just in the right orbit or something.

 

my car ran great for a week before the engine went.

 

I wish my engine ran....

 

on wishes I got all you beat. lol I wish my 88 Ae TII ran and was fixed up to run! pictures coming in about 2 weeks! but still owe 400 on the damn thing. :smiley_12

 

so the answer is either yes, or it is no...lol

 

the answer is in the gray spot in between yes and no lol

 

do a compression test and find out.

 

I love threads like these!

My car's running awesome, too!

 

haha mines great except a minor idle problem. It jus jumps up and down every now and then but it's fine once I give it gas. I'm too afraid to actually fix it cause then it might go bad...haha

 

mine's been running well for the past week since I replaced the alternator

but this thread is about to jinx it

 

yeah.. mine is running the same way with about 190k on the motor so far..

 

boom


and just like that..they all bit the dust...

I never talk about how good my car is running...
superstitious you might say?? NO, BUT it seems if id say somthing like this and it would give!!...lol...soooo, mine is running like ***!!

which it is!

 

The motor in my Chevy Nova ran a new best 11.78 @115 mph backed up with 4 more 11.79s-11.81s, then fragged 3 piston skirts on the ride home on the turnpike lol. The previous best was an 11.93 and I had changed NOTHING. Same track, same everything.

Hm....

Kev (KABOOM!)

 

Ridiculous Theory: At the end of it's life, it wants to go out with a bang and so it pushes harder than ever to try and make you proud.

Less Ridiculous Theory: At the end of its life, the springs pushing out the seals are at their limits so they don't push as hard. This reduces internal frictions allowing for slightly increased performance.

 

Im Not superstitious (sp?) really, but knock on wood. Wednseday morning at IHOP my check was $6.66. I looked at it and laughed, commenting to two of my buddy's: "Man, this is a sign or something, the rx7 is going to get wrecked". We all had a good laugh. THursday morning i dozed off behind the wheel after working an overnight for extra hours...
