    do your reserarch, if you are serious about buying an rotory you must go through most of the stuff yourself.

    IA isnt the place to get this info, thats for sure.
    i dont know about an FC, but an FD can take a full exhaust and intake with the stock ECU due to the rich settings. but i agree with all of the above, and i own one (but maybe not for long, theres a soarer that caught my eye)

    Rotary engines can last amazingly long if you take care of them properly. My friend has a white fc but it's just too bad he's a dumbass and has never checked his oil even once. It's only been me and my brother taking care of his car. But the thing is really fun. It handles amazingly and stays in total control when it's sideways.

    P.S. Do a whole bunch of research before going off and modding it.
