    i'll close with this.....

    I've seen a lot more rx7s with Nissan engines than i have Nissans with mazda engines. The only people who like rotary engines are the rotary fan boys.. and there's no convincing them otherwise. They all like to talk about how great and reliable the rotary engine is... yet probably about 50% of the rx7 population has a piston engine in it.

    Ok, it's obvious you're one of the idiots who spreads info before learning a whole story. Have you actually ever SEEN an Rx-7? you know, those things without cylinder banks? I'd say 3% of the Rx-7 population having piston engines is still too high of a number. Don't talk about something you don't know first hand. You've reduced yourself to throwing out false statistics, assumptions, and every rumor in the book. Congratulations, you debate in the same way a 13 year old does.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    i've owned 3 rx7s. 2 of which i graced with pistons. I live down the road from Hinson supercars, the piston to rotary ratio here is 50/50.

    Dude you are the biggest fan boy of all. You even posted your own car in a thread of "...the best looking S13s" And why would someone but a rotary in a POS 240 when they put them in Porsches, VWs, BMWs, Subarus, etc.. Just do a search for "rotary swap"

    What a clown.

    You really believe you have one of the best looking S13s? What are you trying to prove? And to whom?

    what can you really say guy? its obvious i attempted to have a restored look and not a race car look... i've accomplished that.... by all means. Point out one of my short comings. All of my parts are OEM. What could i have done better to achieve a stock silvia appearance?

    question is... why do you even bring my car up? you got angry? taking shots at me? what are you trying to prove? i've obviously already made the choice between 240 and rx7...

    Angry? No, I just find it funny. Putting pictures of your car as one of the best is like walking up to a girl and saying your the best looking guy on the planet. I have no problems with your car, I think it looks alright. I'm just making the point that you're just a self-absorbed douchebag FANBOY and it's hilariously pathetic.

    How does this make you feel? http://www.google.com/search?q=s13+r...ient=firefox-a

    And this:

    "Following Mazda's lead in developing rotary engines, Nissan attempted to enter the market with a rotary engine-powered Silvia, but it immediately ran into problems. Its design by Nissan was unreliable, and seeing Mazda struggle with American buyer acceptance prompted the automaker to abandon its plans and replace the rotary with a conventional engine."

    My work is done here.

    .
    i'm slightly confused by the logic. I like my car... obviously, or i wouldnt own it or would not have put $ into it. This makes me a fanboy?

    sounds like you need a dose of confidence my son. You should want to make every girl believe you're the best looking guy on the planet... if you dont believe it yourself, how are you gonna sell it to anyone else. But that's another thread all together.

    My car is assembled as the silvia was ment to be. It's in nearly perfect condition. If you dont like my car.... you dont like silvias. I have no problem saying that my car is an upper class example of a stock silvia conversion. It is what it is, dont hate.
