Hey well im new, duh, and i was kinda pondering the idea of getting into the rotary side. Ive never dealt with anything close to rotors but i have been around pistons for awhile, everything from a v8 to a i3(ya i owned a damn metro). Anyways i just totaled my latest project(girl tboned me) and was looking to get into this. Now my insurance is only giving me back 1000 for the car but i seen some rx7s for around 1500. Now my question is, and yes i will do research just hoping for a quick answer. Are these reliable dailys? and if i plan on going turbo what am i looking into provided i dont buy a t2 right off the back. also i heard rotarys arent the greatest for gas mileage or high mileage. anyways if anyone has some info that would be great and yes i will be reading all the faq and all that just had a late night and thought id ask.

 

dont realy know to much about rx7 yet i just got my first one but i drove it form calli to Virginia this week and it ran like a champ the whole way! not bad on gas at all!

 

I don't have as much experience as I've only had 3 rotaries (and building a car to make it 4). They have always been a little thirsty on gas, especially the turbos. I use to daily drive a FB with a 13b, single 48 IDA, and header and it was reliable. I believe also that once we get into changing injectors, turbo boost addiction, or listening to the motor wind up, you can watch the gas gauge go down.

 

cool thanks for the info looks like i have alot of reading
