Slapping a "no rotors" sticker is asking for trouble.

Haha. I had two RX-7 before I got my S. I sold both of them to get my S because I got tired of fixing it over and over and didn't have the time. Great cars. I had two FC's. Maybe when I have the time and money I'll look into an FD. But yea they do have problems but hey Pineapple Racing is right down the street from my house. They're great with rotaries. Hey version what's up with your car? New wheels, and selling some parts...going FI?

I had an FC for two weeks; and unless you've got some kind of magical mechanical skill, "know people", or just outright have a lot of money, I can tell you for a fact that rotaries are indeed a complete pain in the ass. I'm in for one of these stickers if you can find them.

If I win the lottery I *might* buy an FD.

Isn't it sad that they're more reliable with an unreliable american motor in it?

Rotary motors are a great design. I just wish more companies would put more R&D into it. I really believe they can be improved to be more reliable and fuel efficient.
