hate to be a prick, but this is wrong too. rotary engines are great. they havent proven to be unreliable when properly maintained. they simply dont live as long as piston engines. you show me one 13bt that lasted 200k miles, and ill show you thirty turbo 4cyl's that have done the same. |
stock hoods are not fiberglass, not on any RX-7, definitly not any FC, yes I have seen stock T2 hoods, theyre light because theyre AL, I'm not positive if all are, but pretty sure they were, along with the 'vert's also. Even some N/A FC's came with AL hoods
The only way you're getting a fiberglass hood is an aftermarket piece
I agree with you that the rotary is not unreliable, that it just takes different maintenance than a piston, but it is very easy to find 30 more turbo 4's that lasted as long as a 13BT because there have been that many more produced, so a better show would be percentages of 13BT's that have lasted as a portion of all 13BT's produced and the same for turbo 4's
So longevity and reliability of
ANY motor comes simply down to maintenance and care of the motor
and as an MR2 owner what gives you this expertise in mazda's??
you just seem to be putting down every idea put out there because you don't like them, if the original thread writer wanted to here that "V8 RX-7's are GAY" he wouldve went to a trailer park and asked some redneck their opinion.
He was coming here looking for some
constructive criticism; you know help, suggestions, tips, not having him and his car's sexuality questioned when he wants to build a one-off unique car that will earn some respect once its finished if he does it well
you're too bull-headed and stubborn to just let it go already, so I'll be waiting for your return flame, but stfu with calling everyone douchebags and morons because they dont share your perspective.
back to a constructive thread....
any updates on the swap yet?? or still waiting for the motor and tranny to come around?
