made this statement about a yr ago.

question;; there are probably more turbo rotorys that dont run than do run, or a garage with no motor in car,than runnin around the street.

 

so whats your point??? It takes a special person to like, love, own and work on a rotary powered vehicle. and yes your probably right about more not running then running. They are very tempermental and its like having a 2 year old child at the bottom of your feet everythime u drive or work on it. when it comes to those who own shops and work on them for a living it not a ball in the park its really a hard job to do and alot of stress. just my two words since u put yours in

 

Yes, it's not uncommon for a majority of a production run of sports cars to not be running 16 years later. Don't you think there are now more dead or otherwise out-of-commission 5.0 Mustangs than well-running ones?

I stopped counting, lol.

 

going to my third one

 

1..2..3..4..5..6.. they're all my fault tho, not the cars, like water pump belt breaking and meter fuse being blown at the same time... or running with out a fan shroud... or half assing a front cover and all your oil leaking out... but ive owned 9 rx-7s... so dont hate.

anyone who hasnt blown up a rotory, aint going fast !

 

1 blown, 3 cracked rear plates...

 

I had a FC from 1996-2002. 146K miles motor never went out on it. Sold it to my friend fell asleep at the wheel flipped it twice. Him and the other guy walked out ok. He said the engine was still going when he got out.

Have an FD now on the 3rd. motor.

 

2 cracked rear plates. Shift over 9K and you will have some problems.

 

I've blown 1. Owned 5 turbo 7s in the last 7 years.

 

My first and hoping it will survive the 35R for awhile...... we'll see

 

On third.

 

NA engines, lost count years ago

Turbo Engines:

12AT = 1
13BT = 4
20B = 3 (got smart and quit the 3 rotor scene after the last!)
13BRE/REW on my 2nd so far

Blowing rotaries with Panache since 1985

FWIW 90% of these were on the track though

 

I own an fc3s 88 turbo II.

2 motors in 5 years. dialy driven and weekend raced and drifted.

Stock internals. full exhaust/conefilter/255lbs pump/ 720 secodaries/aeromotive FPR

so far i find this setup very reliable.
