Comeback Rotary

yup i have felt two types of rx7s Rotary and V8 yes v8 sbc350.
i've sold my rotary to pay off tickets and found a real good deal for the v8 so got that. now hopefully gonna by a S4 this wednesday returning to rotary theres nothing like reving at 8000 rpm XD. the v8 is fast but its all about wat feels right to me.

Good for you! I agree. The Rotary just feels better. Wish I could quiet my exhaust a little though.

V8 is like a handjob

Rotary is like a BJ

I've found that playing with my wankel is a great cure for boredom.

^I've found that laying down the throttle in 2nd gear, completely breaking traction and getting totally sideways cures my boredom quite quickly

It's an old carb'd SBC

My FD should be able to spin to 7,000+ with the ARP rod bolts in place, but my power peaks a lot lower, so it'll prolly be about 6,500ish.
