Title: For the Mods and members feedback - Rotary Engine Section
Post by: Dominic on August 18, 2006, 12:35:17 PM
Its only just dawned on me but just realised the site doesn\'t have a dedicated forum or section to educate newcomers and researchers on THE ROTARY ENGINE! I think this would be a great addition, especially for those new to the site and rotaries to gain an understanding of what is involved. I know much of the information is already within the various forums but it would be nice to have it all in one place, ideally with some good stickies at the top on general theory, rotor manufacturers, applications, variations, benefits, drawbacks, conversions, rebuild info, links to good related websites, hall of fame (e.g. Bonneville land speed record rx7) etc. I think this would be a huge benefit to the site and would encourage some good discussions while creating a vast "knowledge pool" on the subject.

Found these and think its the best short video describing how the engine works that i\'ve seen.
Think this would be a good thing to put in the sticky too :D

It would be awesome to have some kind of manual to newbies on RX7, care to take with the car and engine, how to look for one, what to have in mind to be sure you don\'t buy one ready to die in your hands...etc...

Maybe an engine sub forum would be a good idea - for all those people who are rebuilding engines themselves and have tips to share, etc...
