    And how its made says nothing about the rpm's being 1/3rd of the thing or wut ever the hell you said. For ever 3 turns of the E-shaft, the rotor spins 1 time. Nothing about the rpm's being devided by 3 or w/e.

    Every other person I know of who has bought a naturally aspirated rotory powered car new has mentioned the same thing about them getting faster with time. C&D just so happened to mention that as well.

    You, sir, could not be as dumb as this statement you just posted. How is it you make this statement yet you try to call me out saying I'm wrong? Let's do some math, shall we? If for every 3 turns of the e-shaft, that's only 33.3% of a full rotation of the rotor. Another turn swings the rotor an additional 33.3% to bring us a total of 66.6% rotation. The final 33.3 percent would mean that the rotor has done a complete 180 degree circle. So let's speed things up a bit. If the E shaft is spinning at 9000 rpm, 9000/ every 3 turns of the e-shaft in conjunction to the rotor= 3000 rpm of the actual rotor itself. Does that make any sense to you or do I still fail? Because the only one I see who has failed is yourself. Please do yourself a favor and put yourself back into school. You will surely benefit from it.

    K series 626. That's right. It's got a K in it.

    ok as for the revolutions of the actual rotors vs what the tach says. that formula sounds along the lines. cant remeber the specific formula but that sound right.
    BUT as for the 1/4 times getting better with more mileage. thats just nonsense really. apex seals get worse with usage. lower compression the higher the mileage.
    sorry to say this but rotaries run different every time you crank it up. they are like ticking time bombs. you could have a score of 8 on all sides of both rotors one day and the next day 6.5, 7, and 5. and thats on normal daily driving NOT racing. trust me i know from experience.
    as for the rsx vs the 8. it depends on whether the rotary is a 6port or 4port.
