rotary is a ticking time bomb. Hehe j/k. I have a 94 fd and its a great car in some aspects and a horribe car in others. Just go under google and type wankle engine info and you will get a great deal of pages of the motor and alot of pages have the history from birth of the motor and current. Good luck on getting a rx7. DO NOT go out and expect to fine a rx7 especially one that is a 93-95 that is going to be a good deal. Expect in the next year or two dumping loads of cash in that sucker. Maybe you wont but if you find one that has a original motor more than likely you will be rebuiling it. If you find one that claims already to be rebuilt than its going to be expensive to purchase. Again please spend HOURS online doing research and learning what kind of beast this is. Buy the way my name is leo and my 94 rx7 rocks a ls1. My rotary took a shit on me with only 48,000 miles and local shops around here wanted between 4500-7500 in repair-rebuild costs. NOT!!!!!!!!
Took a shit on you at 48k? Sounds like owner before you, you, or some1 was dogging the hell out of that motor......

Yep
I drove it to redline a few times just like I was told to do so by jeff at maztech. He said do not baby this engine for it should be driven a lil hard everyonce in awhile. I was also reading on some forums that if they sit to long or driven only to shift points than there is a good chance of building up alot of carbon and leading to detonation. Again its a fd i didnt have it to 7500 rpm everytime but at least once or twice a week. A stock rotay fd making it 12yrs without being changed seems great to me. All i did was added a megan racing downpipe and exhaust and KABLAM BATMAN that sucker took a shit after a couple of months. Oh well this is the life of the waco. Opps I mean wankel.
