    That isnt the point though, the enginnering behind them puts internal combustion in the bin. So much power from tiny motors. Rebuilds arnt because they are crap or break but through wear.

    All good points but that's not gonna mean much when the engine has gone bang again and the rent's due. I wouldn't recommend a Rex unless you are really experience with the rotary engine or are prepared to put the work/time/money into it that it needs.

    You clearly know very little. The RX-7s rotary engine wears out at around 60k miles on que regardless of use or abuse.

    That S15 looks ace, ive only ever seen one on the road. A really step up in stylinger over the S13, the S-mondeo and the S14A.

    With the Rx7 it is mainly the rotor seals that wear out, but there is the option of using RX8 rotor seals. I liked the S14a, front end is so much better than the S14 but the S15 is better again.

    Yep hence the S14 = S-mondeo lol.

    Plenty of nice S14as in Notts Gav, a chap on CN is building a (dare i say) really nice white widearch S13.
