i'm not arguing, but it sounds like your saying rotaries are as reliable as any other motor. i just dont see it, but then again i understand how they could be "misunderstood" well maintained 7m's last a long time too... and im well aware of there reputation. i guess the problem between rx7's and mk3's is somewhat the same, cheap car to get into, but realistically, if you have the budget to build a reliable, powerfull 7mgte... you had the budget to buy a mk4
