another question has anyone come up with a good quality compay to get a engine rebuild kit from since I remeber boriqua saying not to go with OEM apex seals and he was having probs with atkins seals. Has anyone tried and approves the of hurley seals over the other 2?
I can not say for sure that coils or struts with springs are better. I am still running the stock setup on my FD. I have to get the car running properly before going messing with the suspension and I will probably wait till I move to better roads anyway. I did put the strut/spring combo on a 98 GT Mustang and it made a world of difference, but I think adjustability would be nice.
As far as Apex seals go, I think that you could have a bad experience with any. Its often the luck of the draw that they get seated properly yada, yada, yada...... You could go to a Honda dealer and get a new Accord that turns out to be a Lemon. I know Atkins has been in the Rotary business for a LONG time, so I would prefer history and knowledge to (no offence guys) an internet forum. I have gotten bad advice (not from the NH guys) from forums before. Good luck!

Post up a WTB in the 2nd Gen For Sale section. Eventually someone will hit it.

Hey guys. In my auto maintenance class at highschool i was teaching everyone about rotaries, including the teacher, and he asked me if i could bring my car in to look at it. Well i told him it wouldnt be ready until later this spring. BUT i just had a grand idea. Does anyone have any trashed engines i could have, or buy? Im talking about completely destroyed rotors and housings, nothing that is useable. It wouldnt have to be the whole set, just a housing a rotor and maybe an iron.

PM me if you're willing to give up your trash!

Pinks

I saw an episode of Pinks the other day with a TII against a Civic. The Civic couldn't get with 7-8 lengths. Great episode~

I could let you borrow a good housing and rotor, but I would definitely want it back. Actually, I could let you borrow the whole motor if you want to put it through a parts washer. Win-Win situation!
