A. I'm a supermod.
B. By telling him in public, perhaps others will learn as well.

Any other questions?

What if the purpose was "to make an example of this guy"?

Also are you back in a Porsche?

No. I'm thinking about going for a C6 Z06 with a medium cam and a tune for my next car. I've always had turbo cars (AWD at that), so maybe my nice adventure will be a 500whp+ RWD car that is actually light (31xx lbs).

Eh, who knows, though. Maybe I'll pick up a C6 LS3 and twin turbo it. I have time...

They are pretty cheap right now as well, I was up at the dealership, thinking about getting a LS3 and a 6spd now since my license is about to clear up

I am still thinking C6 Z06, though.

same reason this thread is here.

And to Thighs, I hate you too. Although driftjunior spews bs about rotaries, you do too. You keep calling it a total failure and one post said replacing apex seals every 60k miles. It's obvious you've never owned one or done any real research so you should stay out of the topic yourself. I don't mind people talking shit when they actually KNOW the material they're talking about. Part of an argument is looking at both sides of the argument and you lack the maturity to give the rotary a chance. In your mind it's a piece of junk based on what you'veheard from arrogant idiots and you're stuck to that opinion despites facts that rpove otherwise.

no, i back my anti-rotary spews up with a good 50/50 mix of bullshit and fact. part of it is for comic relief and because i dont care about what i say on here, plus its fun to get people all worked up for no reason. the other part is because rotaries are well known for needing mixed gas (i.e. 2 stroke oil) to keep the apex seals in good shape, unless they are ceramic units which tend to last alot longer. its not uncommon for a set of apex seals to go out well before the 100k mile mark. they get horrible gas mileage, especially when the displacement of one is taken into account. i had a ford aspire with a mazda b3 engine (imagine a b6 block with a much smaller bore/stroke). it got ~30mpg CITY. given, it was alot slower than any rotary, but with the same displacement the rotary engine gets ~18-20 mpg city. why? because its not a very efficient design. the reason they guzzle gas is the same reason they are known for shooting flames. all the gas goes straight out the exhaust pipe before it gets burned. my miata made close to the same power as your average non-turbo rx7, was a larger diplacement and made more torque, and got ~27 city mpg. the only model of rx7 i would like to have is an fb, because honestly they arent THAT bad on gas due to the weight of the car, and are kinda quick.

on paper, an engine with little to no reciprcating mass is a great idea, its just not able to be executed properly therefore it is not a success.

I won't deny the gas mileage part. The gas mileage sucks. The gas is only mixed with 2 stroke oil if the OMP (oil metering pump) is removed at the owner's discrepancy. Apex seals can last well into 300 thousand miles if the engine is maintained properly. It's more common to see them from 180 thousand to 220 though and occasionally on boosted cars(above stock boost applications) only 120 thousand (now on FDs, they can go as early as 40k miles, but the owners are usually at fault). I guess the other part of you is just trying to piss rotor heads off and I accept that reason more than you being uninformed so I'll leave you alone on it.

lol you just gotta understand that its just a forum. youre not one of the ones i necessarily like to start stuff with, because you arent a firehose of triangle-worshipping bullshit like some others.

i know several people who have had to replace apex seals WELL before 100k, and they werent retarded about maintenance. and i personally know several people who mix the gas in their rx-8s that are bone stock because they worry about premature apex seal wear.

You have no idea what you are talking about - they were retarded.

I have had multiple rotaries over 200K, and I have never run premix - even in track cars. I've had multiple of all 3 gens over the course of many years, and have had only 1 engine fail - and that was during racing (at the track) and my fault completely. Even that failed motor would have still beat your car - and it was an N/A.

RX8s do NOT need premix.
