    I do like these, maybe in Black or gun metal for myself.

    I hope you touched wood there Daniel, are these engine susceptible to a bit of oil drinking and throwing internal hissy fits?

    was going to ask the same thing, do these modern Wankel engines still require more frequent rebuilds (having the rotors changed) like the older engines?

    I think it was the rotor tip seals that were the cause, but I'd like to know too?

    Thanks guys. The new renesis wankel engine is spot on. No rebuilds neccessary but they still do drink oil, had to top up my gt every month aswell so im used to it. Rev limiter is at 9000 rpm and has a built in rev limit buzzer. Engine sounds like a 1000cc sportsbike
