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.

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

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.
