Rotary motors running in Canada??
Hi I was wondering how the older Rotarys go running in the colder climates here in Canada? I am from Australia it is consistantly warmer there.??

I've noticed in the past that I've had some issues with cold-starting on our '88 FC turboII...that said all it took was leaving it in the garage overnight instead of outside and that seemed to do the trick.

Stock 12a 83 gsl.
Mine works fine as a summer car, impossible to start without choke at anything colder than +5c. Tach does not work until motor is warm or +10c on startup lol.

Like any other vehicle, how a rotary vehicle performs in the cold weather is going to be directly proportional to how well it is maintained.
Fuel injection is going to be better in the cold than carburetors in general. Though I had zero cold related issues driving a '78 RX-7 exclusively in the winter (it was my beater).
