Nope, Ari @ Rotary Performance is right down the street from us so i don't even bother. Those guys know those things inside out. I've got enough **** in my head about pistons, the last thing i need is to loose some of that to learn about a rotary motor!

Ive done alot of research into 7's. But at the last minute hung up the project. You cant really just have a single and acouple upgrades and not pay a whole lot.... The motor is super high maintenance. Just my 2 pennies.-pete

do the right modifications and they can be pretty reliable.

Such a nice car, but make sure you take some nice test drives in them to make sure you're comfortable, some people don't fit in them very well.

Ignition upgrade for sure, Larger radiator, oil and egt gauge.
Make sure you keep up with your oil. And if you see your temp gauge rising. turn off the motor and pull over and tow it home. Overheated engine=warped rotor. Goodluck man-pete


if you can get it at the same time J&S.

spend the money to tune it rightand with the right tools. power fc's seem to be popular.

very important... the wankel hates detonation more than anything. then if the seals go... it will then kill the turbo most of the time on their way out the exhaust ports.
