Another "EXPERT" Rotary Analysis

Just wanted to share a funny story....

So last night I drove my SE to my mom's house to check on her and visit like a good son does right? Down the block there is this guy who has lived there forever so I know him and we always chat say whats up whatever. He is working on his POS truck in his driveway with 3 other guys standing around.

I pull up on the street and we chat. One of the guys is standing behind him near the passenger rear....WHERE MY EXHAUST IS.

I am about to pull away and he walks up..."Hey your car is running really rich...I can smell it from here."

I go..."yeah the car is running a straight pipe and rotary engines usually smell and run rich."

dude - "no, something is wrong, I think one of your rotors is off balance and not spinning at the same time as the other. It makes the combustion un even and you run rich. I can take a look at it if you want."

me- "yeah no thanks....I am cool."

I drove to mom's SMH. WOW...just WOW.

Dude, you mean the rotors are supposed to be lined up?!? No way, no wonder I was limited to only 16 Lbs. of boost!

Should've told em one of your rotors had a little too much premix to drink, stumbled out the bar.....and it's little wankel life got off balance.

i get the same kinds of analysis all day long except it goes something like this:

Him: "Wow, a V8 in a lil mazda! what kind of rear you got in that thing?"

Me: "Stock Turbo Rear end."

Him: "Hmmm, you better upgrade that thing! You re-enforce the chasiss?"


Me: "WTF are you talking about? Re-enforce? Are you stupid? Dont talk to me on the forums, alright 1st7?"

People are dumb...

At first, when brismo opened his hood I was like, COOL!!! A 3-ROTOR!

And then upon second inspection, I was like NO WAI A 4-ROTOR!

But then the gatorade bottle threw me off.

no worries dude, one of my friend who "supposedly is a pro race car builder"

told me that he can hook me up with uploading a map on my PFC

so I gave him the map and he said "its wrong format, we can't upload it" I was like.......wtf? and I told him the datalogit would decode the map and then you can upload it

he was like "whats datalogit"............................and this is the same guy who told me that my manifold was fucked and that I dont need 2 Intake pipes for an FD etc etc

so yea
