Im a rotary mechanic.
Ive owned more than 30 rx7s
I work on rotaries constantly.
Most repairs are starters or exhaust work.
Many of my customers are well over 200k miles on the stock engine.
I really dont understand why people say maintenance is hard. Its the same as a piston engine (change your oil).
People thinking they are unreliable is pure ignorance.
>>15238345
haha no, not even top 100
>>15238549

>>15238543

That's like your opinion man, enjoy popping an apex seal on your next speedbump.
>>15238549
Many of your customers also rebuilt their motor immediately upon buying it, most rotary vehicles sitting in the price ranges that aren't gouge-worthy because "Muh mint shitbox" do not have a reliable 20b or 13b in them and are riddled with flaws and damage.
They -are- unreliable without CONSTANT upkeep.
>>15238559

OH OK
So, Rx7club.com top forum post recommending a rebuild for every used RX7 and to "Not trust Owners words" for maintenance and nopistons.com over 1,400 posts THIS YEAR alone regarding an engine rebuild are just wrong then?
I've worked on 13bs myself, and twin rotary 20bs, every car meet you go to with rotary fans you will find a person who has personally rebuilt their motor at least four times.
>Constant upkeep
The constant upkeep tier for piston motors and rotary motors are not even in the same fucking planet let alone solar system, don't even pretend like they are.
I'm sorry, but every "RX7 IS BEST ROTARY IS SOEASY EVEN IF YOU DONT HAVE A GARAGE" person I meet is just hilarious if they think most people are willing to do what they're willing to do to own what they own.
Many people also prefer just the aesthetic of piston from rotary for many other reasons than just reliability...pistons are just simply better for vehicle practicality and power delivery. I'm sorry.

>Red line it to fix it!
The whole "Drive it until it breaks" is fucking SWEET until it does in 20k miles from being driven how rotaryfags ACTUALLY say they drive their car.
Even my good friend who has owned RX7s since high school admits the only rotaries holding 50k+ miles on a build are NOT DOGGED ON what-so-ever.
Sorry, your rotaries are fucking old, impractical, ineffecient, and people don't feel like "Taking the temperature" every time they want to enjoy their vehicle.
I don't even need to point out how easily apex seals are compromised by simply switching your driving dynamic over a set time. It's like rotaryfags do a rebuild before track day specifically for it, and then after for DD.
It's so fucking funny to watch people claim what they do about these cars.

>>15238647
The geometry is all wrong, from the factory they have very little steering angle and quite a bit of bump steer. The camber change under compression is also pretty bad, it actually goes neutral then positive as it compresses. You can see this in this lowered MK3. Steering feel is also pretty bad and they are heavy cars.
MK3 owners/supra fanboys will deny it, but the MK3 supra is probably Toyota's worst "sport" offering.

Please don't take this as shitposting but I have a question. Does Mazda not want 3rd party manufacturers and kit-car makers using rotaries? because there are quite a bit of 3rd-party manufacturers that have used LS engines. why not rotaries?

Is that what "let me know how it's different from piston engines" and then giving an answer, and directly addressing every single counter-point you made not even being addressed with a riposte? "UP!

4th gen has some gay styling but its fine. Celica-supra are also non attractive to me.
I just can stop thinking "yeah, this car that looks so much like an FC its so much more beautiful".
I dont know, /o/. Is this because i met the FC first and now all my love for that shape went to it instead of the supra or what?
I also think the third gen camaro are sexy beautiful beasts.
