wankels are great. but i guess everyone who owns one is dead cause when you take your foot off the gas at high speed to go arround a tight turn, it inevidably lockes the engine up and the tires skid and theres no traction arround a high speed turn and ytou smash into the object (the object that the turn in the road was going arround).. at high speed and your instantly lkilled or the vehicle is destroyed at the verry least. lol

@loveshark1m The turning capabilities of a car have nothing to do with the engine in the front and what you are talking about only occurs when then driver can't drive, I've been in a rx7 that takes corners faster then any other car. If you can't handle a car that responds when you do something then yeah, don't buy a rotary.

@loveshark1m You seem to be inhaling exhaust fumes. I owned an original 1971 RX-2 Coupe and loved the car. Wankels had, do not know if they fixed the problem, a seal problem and were prone to being blown. I had to rebuild the motor three times in 110 thousand miles. The performance was worth it. I wish I had kept that car, sold it in 1991

[Pinkishbass91]

@kabreu54 yes they did fix the problem, you would of had the 10A if it was standard which were properly terrible. 12A's weren't much better the 13B's only have the problem if mistreated some of the newer ones a pretty much indestructible.

It was actually Frito-Lays love for rotary engines that caused Doritos chips to be made.

[Mustang4lyfe91]

@loveshark1m So do that...dump the clutch feather throttle and counter steer...and the motor would not lock up the wheels....Unless it siezed. The differencial would have control over that. Miatas can take corners at like 100....... :)

[reubentg]

@loveshark1m well known fact that old fd rx7's abs are dangerous thats why you locked up

[bongosrest]

@mtech20 yeh in theory but in reality they are shit ,fuel economy is rubbish and you burn oil like a two stroke motor so emissions not so good i owned a suzuki re5 ok that was a long time ago and things have moved on but rotarys are still flawed ,thats why only mazda are stupid enough to make them ,some motors still used in aircraft drones etc also they cheat with the actual cc they measure them in , my suzook was rated as a 500cc but infact was 1500cc and a slow 1500 motor at that

[mtech20]

Rotaries are great engines. Americans are generally horrible in maintaining their vehicles, and Rotary engines do not like to be neglected. Oil changes need to be routine, and pin-point. Flush other fluids regularly, change the lead & trailing spark plugs regularly, and a stock Rotary will last for a long time. The more you modify them, they will fail (apex seal failure is more common). But if you know how to break the engine down & rebuild, it's all good.

@loveshark1m lolol not funny lol ouch!!

@kylerx7

heh, no. you take it apart to clean the housing... =) as you should, since it's super easy on any rotary.. say compared to my other motor, an SR20DET which is an enormous pain.

[kylerx7]

@fateephat that isnt true. Whoever owned it was an idiot or bought it preowned from an idiot that didn't know that you have to add oil every time you drive it. Cause it burns oil to lubricate the apex problem is when the oil gets low now it stops pumping oil and you blow seals so its not the engines fault its the stupid owner that wants to be a cheap ass and not buy oil. Also you have to rev on these engines to blow out the carbon since they burn oil you build carbon around the seals.

[kylerx7]

@Pinkishbass91 yep. take the 1991 lemans winner for example. The FIA took the mazda car and publicly dismantled the motor to show everyone that even after 24 hours of some of the hardest racing your can put a car through the engine didn't have hardly any wear or tear. And then they got banned after that. Formula 1 bans rotary engines so does the US midget league after the 1989-1990 wins from rotary powered midgets. Also Rx-7s have won more races in US racing events then any other car can claim.

@Pinkishbass91

13B blows oil seals all the time if you keep it at high revs for any amount of time, it's nothing new or surprising, and a 10 dollar fix.

wankel is pice of crap!
