Alot of people dont know how rotarys work,or know anything about them at all..
Most people that hear how they are not reliable,are mostly the people who never owned one ,either he say she say shit was going on...
Its just that if you dont take car of an engine ,any engine in general they will go bad....Rotarys consume oil...
I think the manufacture said about 1 quart per 1000 miles..
This is why I cant afford to run Racing Oil @$7.00 a quart....not even counting the little oil leaks..
Low or No oil is the rotarys main problem..Also its not good to over heat these..
On another note...when a rotary smokes a little thats normal..Im running rich when I start my car it smokes a little ..I had a guy tell me it was time to replace my rings..what a fuckin joke...I also had a guy seen me at a car wash ..he pulls up on me with a bycycle...and tells me Who works on your car...well after me telling his dumb ass im ASE certified tech..got a cert with Kia and Isuzu ..he still goes on how he works on cars cheap and how he works at ZDocs..wellI told the dumb fuck ..this is not a Z car...he said well its the same shit..I had to ask him how the fuck did he figure,I had to pop my hood and ask him where the head is...He said wtf is that ..I said a Rotary engine..then he goes on hwo he thought I had a small block Chevy in my car cause he seen me driving it around alot..and he liked it..
Then he said you want to see a pic of the worlds fastest 240 I said yeah..he shows me a pic of a white old 240 that I think ZDocs owns..and I asked what engine..he said "har haarr Chevy 350" I said I wouldnt even consider that to be the fastest 240
1# you dont even run a Nissan engine..
2# its a dam Chevy engine
I dunno if you guys ever seen how rotary shoot flames..This is one thing a rotary does and its normal..When you get exhast work done..I had a guy in a van catch up to me on the interstae Saturday night..and tell me I had fore coming out of my exhast..I said yeah ..ok..
Well I hoep you guys read up on it ..before some people make them selfs look like asses...

the star is me and the rx3 is right across the street if your interested, it has no motor, has axle looks like it needs a grill and hood. I can snap a pic if you want me too.
