rotaries vs pistons

[Simon K]

Had one for 5 happy years, would love another.

The reason many are so loud is in part due to the backyard porting cowboys but also the fact that the exhaust temps are so high that it melts the packing in many of the cheap locally made mufflers. No packing = horrendously loud.

Mine had a stainless exhaust with steel wool packing in the(handmade) muffler. Never got obnoxious and sounded good all the time.

They simply need to be looked after properly, fail to do that and you take your chances.

In the old days...if people liked them, you could actually buy one for a couple of grand, not the ridiculous prices we have now. A few less dickheads about(get a rotor, hoodies etc)but they still had a habit of going missing.
Guess some things never change.

I think the motors are awesome, love to hear them rev.. and then rev some more

Hate people that wear hoodies and put huge 'zorsts on them though, although they are mostly moving to drifting now... and ruining Nissans instead

I am now thinking twice about getting a rotor now with the crazy price of gas! I have always planned for my next car to be either a series 5 or 6 RX7 in about 2 years or so but could I afford to run one???!?!?!?! Have to get a daihatsu mira daily driver lol!
Love rx's all the same, I hate goddamn rotang hoodie homiez but bridgey race cars and turbo hum mmmmm
