ill be the first person to tell you ive made myself into a hypocrite, but its the truth, i was a fool back then
the rotary was designed for pure road racing, period, thats it, nothing more. not for pick up trucks, not for daily commuters, not for the mass market as we can clearly see, it was designed to win a race and be torn apart and prepped for the next one
if im so wrong in saying that these cars are extremely unreliable and make people waste thousands of dollars for minimal pleasure compared to other tuner cars then ask ANYONE on any of these rotary forums why whenever they drive their car they always have that thought or feeling in the back of their head that something bad will happen today
maybe their so used to it that they ignore it, maybe their too new to understand maybe they just dont care, but its always there
i loved my car, it was really fun, but when you own a car for 3 years and only get to drive 13k miles in those three years because somethings always breaking, enough is enough and if you say its because i cheapened out, which i didnt, ill ask you how many miles you put on yours
i check the tires on my bike, i check the chain, i turn the key, push the starter and go, only worry i have is people paying more attention to their cell phones then driving

hmmm hearing you two bicker gave me an idea for a decal..
"caution anything over 300whp will cause interior plastics to break"
lets face it. rx7s are pieces of **** and thats why we love em. if my 7 was as nice as my 8 when i got it. i would have sold it. the rx7 is the ULTIMATE palate that allows u to customize it as you please.
andy i am right. how many people do you know besides dennis that doesnt have a build log or can compile their car into a build log because it was down gettng MULTIPLE modifications.
check the build thread section. it always starts out as needing an engine rebuild and by the time its back out its single turbo'd vmic and the whole 9 yards. gooddddddddnight.
i swear they look better in person and they are not actually pepto bismol pink.

Dude, I don't get that feeling at all. I used to when my car was stock. After I got my water injection going, I couldn't be more comfortable driving my car. I never had one moment during my time to and from deals or during dragon runs where I felt my car was going to blow up. In fact, my temperatures during the runs were the most optimal when I boosted.

Haaa I'm having fun in this convesation.

I'm sure the pink looks great man. It does on the other stuff you did. It was fun watching people diss you and see the pink in person and realize that it looks nice hahaha.
Goodnight!

i had this big thing written out, but i dont really care that much, point is, look at history, look at sales, when has a rotary ever beaten anybody elses car besides races? who cares what company designed the original for, wheres NSU now?
of course anyone is entitled to their own thoughts and opinions, its just a little crazy to say reliable and rotary in the same sentence ever lol
oh btw, when i say stuff like above(ex you can say i cheapened out) im not saying you say that, its just the way i write i mean that in general not directed, not attacking you andy, just debating with ya

Rotary sales before the gas crisis were pretty good. FB, FC and Rx8 sales were also really good for their niche. Even the FD, especially in Japan. As far as the rotary beating anyone else, I mean the rotary wasn't designed for gas mileage right? The motor was designed for fun and that's not really measurable across the board. You can say the same thing about any novelty, high powered motor though (if I understand your statement correctly that is). I mentioned the NSU because you said that rotarys were designed to be torn apart often.
I think rotarys can be reliable. Lets single out the most unreliable group, the modded turbo rotarys. With enough money, these cars can last a long time. If people stayed at lower levels of power with alot of support mods instead of trying to push the envelope with what they have, I think we can both agree that FDs would last alot longer. What does everyone do though? They get thier support mods done and they try to get the most power they can.
Allight night man I'll speak to you tomorrow. Man I'm going to be so tired tomorrow.
This conversation actually helped me alot with my decision on what to do with my replica. I think I might just stick to running lower boost instead of seeing how high I can get with my BNRs.

WOW!!!! I thought the thread was DEAD... little did i know i got unsubscribed some how... lol
NOOOOooOOoooooo.. put the pressure on rich.. get the SR out there
I think the main reason for this is we are all slaves to the Mechanic's...
Truth is, if we didnt only have ONE place to fix our cars... they would probably be on the road a lot longer & faster.
Ive had mine for almost 5 years now.... and Ive put tooooo many miles to even count. My mentality isnt "Oh something's gonna break today" its more like "Let me enjoy the **** out of this...." if something does go, im ready to fix it.... no matter what...no matter the cost. And I think that goes for any car enthusiast.
thanks for jinxing it... Somethings going to break now!!!!!...lol
I think like everything else, Its moderation...... you have to balance the car with life.... which is why this year im trying to do a crap load of traveling.... because un the the RX those memories will never break!!! lol
P.S.
as much as I hate the white... the pink stickers actually make it pretty dope.
Now your making some sense.

Dave,
you are depressing the **** out of me! let me take that FD off your hands so you can enjoy a better quality of life.
The Love of the rotary has to do with having knowledge and passion for something the masses do not understand or posses. well done FD';s get exotic car reactions. the 8 done right gets "what kind of cars is that?" even the most skilled auto mechanic can not just dive into a rotary, it takes specific skills and for that reason we buy, we drive, we mod, we repair.

Yea man. If we had TONS of mechanics competing with each other on the quality of work vs. price, we would have alot more monet to have stuff done to our cars to keep them tip top. CA is the place to be
I'd hate to speak for Dennis but he's down for Edgewater! If you guys stay up late I'll try to stop by.

yes i do. all the decals on my rims were made by me...
if your not 1st your last
Dave I feel like a proud papa
You made me tear when you said it best rotary are best for road racing.
But if that was the case nobody would have one.
The rx7 is a car I think every jdm car nut should try.
It will one day make you appreciate or hate the next sports car.
I will always have a sweet spot for a clean rotary but now older and wiser never again.
So when we picking up Godzilla
