RX-7 Laughing stock of Track

RevinRx7 · 12-22-2001, 01:24 AM

Well for palukas points about it, Most motor companies ended their research on the rotary engine because of the energy crisis in the early 70's.
And yes i will agree with you on the point of third gens being bad. The 3 catalytic converters that mazda had to put on the 3rd gens caused so many boost spikes that it litterally blew the turbo's at 70k.

And as for the V8 conversion, say hello to hella torque. only problem is lots of frustration in puting it in and still very unreliable. Not to mention throwing off the whole 50/50 weight balance of the car.

But as for whoever said that whole thing about most of the car being about the driver is right. And i have too admit my car has plenty of soft points which i'm sure your cars are no where near to rivaling(not being sarcastic) but what can i say? The rotary engine grabbed me by the throat before any v8's could.

By the way i know how unreliable RX-7's can be. i'm almost 18 and already on my second one looking for a third. my first one blew its apex seals.
