Where did you hear that nonsense from?

 

"That is some wierd technology you got there under yore hood. Them Japanese people are sure wacky"

 

I heard, that the first gen is better at turns then 2nd gen and 3rd.?

 

Nonsense? How many RX-7s' are on their 2nd, 3rd, or 4th engines? Go thumb through an autotrader, ebay, craigslist, etc and see how many are still on their original engine?

Outside of changing the oil every 3k miles on your average piston engine, you're good to go for many thousands of miles.

 

How old are the Rx-7's and how many miles on them?

Your looking at vehicles that are from 16-29 years old.

Maintenance is maintenance.

What excess maintenance does a Rotary engine need?

The scheduled maintenance for a "Rotary" powered and a "Piston" engine are the same.

There are a lot more "Piston" engines in production than "Rotary" engines, so how can you even compare the percentages?

 

ROTARY FOR LIFE... i seen rotarys go up to 3k and still push..

my friend beats the **** of his car. and she keeps going.!

 

wait, what?

 

wow kent is that all you think of......! gay!

3K.................
3000 RPMs?
3000 miles??~~~~~~~~~~~~ theres no point here!!!

 

Me thinks he's speaking of 300k on the engine? Just a thought.

I've seen 400k (gsl-se) and still going strong.

One thing I will concede to. A rotary is not as forgiving as to overheating abuse as a piston. But, if you keep on top of the cooling system and keep regular oil changes, I suggest they'll last just as long as a comparable piston set up (turbo vs turbo, N/A vs N/A)

 

someone should make it a goal to reach the 1 million mile rotary powered vehicle, like those saabs, tight sauce

 

face sauce.

 

yea i meant 300k my bad! lol iwas watching the dark knight while i post that fail! right there!

 

epic fail like my rear end plate haha

 

no your just an epic fail period!

 

here is a quick one, what is the normal operating temp for a 13b, i got my 4 to 212 this weekend, what is max if anyone know, much appreciated

 

max? when you start burning coolant.

 

i heard a pretty good one the other day. "i hear rotary drivers are all dark, like kent"

 

here's another one for ya.

i heard that 99% FC owners are ********... RICARDO!

 

thanks *******, no seriously what i thoght it would be normal between 180 and 210, or am i shooting high?

 

Normal should be about ~180* F

I would start backing off at about 215-220* to be safe, although I've seen people go higher.

 

thanks anjew ya the needle rose just above 210, but the temp guage in the car read half. wierd. thats good to know tho
