How many of us lose faith?

[m1tch]

dont forget the 80\'s turbo Era formula1 cars whilst were at it, 1.5 litre = 1500HP:evillaugh:evillaugh:eek:eek:spank

Indeed, those engine lasted ages might even make a triple figure miles per engine hehe although the fuel economy is probably comparible :rollin

[Grant Monkhouse]

1.3 then lol
 
Im with you, Rotary all the way! :yes

does you rotary 1.3 have the same fuel economy as a 1.3 piston? NOPE, do we care? NOPE Why? because rotaries rock:Giggle:Giggle:burnout:Thumbs-up

[m1tch]

Rotaries produce more noise and flames im in

Ah once I\'ve fitted these belts and got it running again I\'ll probably fall back in love, but then at the same time I also know she needs a new clutch as well. My problem is I haven\'t got to enjoy her anywhere near as much as I\'d like to have, then I think when I go bal to England can I really afford to run her daily? I could sell her save a bit and get something like an Evo, although the running costs aren\'t cheap they\'re alot cheaper than the FC and probably much easier to live with daily without many of the draw back.

Know what I mean?

I don\'t know any other stock engine that can get 153bhp per litre of displacement

i think they displace a bit more than 1.3 litres per cycle dont they?

Ive got a Volvo V40 as my daily now, rx7 is off the road as usual, think it did about 850 miles last year to and from the garage for the MOT and a few trips around town to check that it wasn\'t leaking fluid.

[B.Martin]

Thing is i can\'t afford 2 cars, not considering i really need my own place as well. I\'m sure you\'ll agree with the statement that the FC isn\'t the best daily driver you can have, fuel consumption aside its not the most practical thing and i have a dog as well!

Nail on head dude,  flames ftw

[samfc3s]

i still like rotary but reality is that i cant keep it for very long before dues to some family committment, as you can see here, after 4 years i sold my FC, i still come around here every so often

[samfc3s]

woww....i cant even remember i registered since 2002, seems a very long time....lol

[jord13b]

im a stresshead when stuff goes wrong, but im learning to train myself now! been 2 weeks since my throwout arm cradle snapped.... had new part a week.... still havent fixed it cause if i force myself, ill hate it and cause some damage.... so do it when i feel happy and right and the force is balanced and restored to normal! lol

[jetpilot]

I got out of rotaries for over a year, but i think as mentioned elsewhere, for the $ i literally dont think there is a comparison, in any area, looks, performance or handling!
