There's not much to tell honestly, it's a car and I drive it to places. Sometimes those places include racetracks.

You turn it on. You don't rev it to the moon like an idiot. You drive normally till the temps get up. You rev it to the moon like an idiot. I have an sa and its been pretty much bullet proof if you just maintain it normally.

Used to own a rxBreak, totally not worth it. Plus the 8 is a chicks car, so sold that shit.

Would pick up a 7 though.

I think that's pretty cool in some sorta weird way.

>>14305546
its fun. sound is unique. loves to rev high
gets real hot after a while. my a/c doesnt work to boot
not hard to work on at all. just time consuming.

protips:
premix
let it reach operating temp before you give gas
dont park it on a hill ever
invest in parts that keep the engine cool

oil doesnt coat engine on startup when its not level. not having ur dorito lubed will melt your seals a lot more quickly over time.

>>14305546

Rotaries really only have two advantages vs piston engines.

1. They sound unique.
2. They can rev higher.

In every other way, they are decidedly inferior.

They have worse emissions (they burn oil).
They get poor fuel economy.
They make very little torque.
They are not as reliable (short term) nor do they last as long as regular piston engines.

The only reason that anyone gives them a look is that they are the stock motor in a few well-sorted, RWD sports cars, all of which are vastly improved when you pitch the rotary and include a regular engine.

Mazda continues to produce them because of brand pride and because its easy to distinguish otherwise middling cars by a unique engine. No other manufacturer has bit on them because they suck and there aren't solutions for the problems inherent to the engine.

>>14306757
>burn oil
Most cars over a few years old do that
>poor fuel economy
Pretty much on par with a V6
>very little torque
So does a Honda
>Not as reliable/don't last as long
Any engine will shit itself if you don't take care of it

>>14306757
They proved to be super reliable in endurance motorsports.

>>14306783
>most cars over a few years old do that
No. 219k mile ranger and 162k mile civic, neither burn oil.

except in power to weight/displacement ratio. how much does an s2000's engine weigh anyway?

Only thing you're right is the reliability. An n/a rotary is rock solid. Simple, small, light. All the wrong things occur when you add forced induction.

>>14306882
your rebuttals are shit, like comparing to honda and other cars. Really? You argue like a child, you probably watch initial d

>>14306853

From what I could find, the 13b weighs about 390lbs with everything. The F20C weighs about 330lbs.

The point of this whole discussion is about the engines. God damn, you're putting out some serious bait right now

I can tell you now that 90% of this thread is bull shit.

>>14307003
Yes because it has twin turbochargers.
Rotary as a concept is to be lighter, they are inherently lighter than a piston equivalent.

>>14311067
How are NA Rotary engines like to drive? I assume there is a reason they are commonly coupled with turbos.

>>14309745
My rx8 gets the same

>>14311113
They drive just fine.

>>14306757
they are more reliable, but less tolerable of neglect.

>>14311113
the reason is that rotaries pump out a lot of hot exhaust, which can spool up a turbo fast.

>>14306063
It's literally meant to make people mad, which I fucking love. He got a great chassis and put a great motor into and made it look "great" (subjective). I'm sure it's fun as hell and does properly piss off all the rich pricks. So as much as I love the rotary, this makes me smile so much.
I also hate hipsters, but damn this is too good not to love.
