Again too much of a setup, but shows our Rotary\'s are worth owning!

I enjoyed it cause we MX5motors got a free advert when they paused on one of our invoices when looking at the service history :)

Anyone know what compression meter they were using?   Looked a bit homebrew - maybe an early twisted rotors model?

I think they borrowed it off Pip

OK, just watched that episode.

I think that it was quite good episode. There were good promo, but also lots of bs.

I was laughing because Ed did all the hard work to get power out of the engine. Seems to me that Pip did it ;)

Btw, I kind of like those wheels. But not body graphics
Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

I recorded it at the weekend and to be honest it\'s just typical wheeler dealers. Take a decent car then either go completely over the top with chavy not decent modifying or the other end of the scale saying it must be completely original and any extras are useless and rubbish. Only good thing is they explained the rotary engine and hopefully made people less scared of it, other than than that they managed to ruin a perfectly good rx7.

Sorry about the moaning but wheeler dealers really winds me up, there\'s been so many cars where they\'ve had the opportunity to do something decent instead they decide to go down the worst route possible.

Not so impressed by the styling they did.
But id like to know what rearbumper that was, anybody know?

Totally agree with this. They did nothing at all with the engine other than test its compression. That, the intercooler and rad change can be done on any engine. Apart from give a brief explanation on how the engine works there wasn\'t really anything other than saying wankel a lot.
As above I think they should of \'bought\' one with a blown engine and used the majority of the show to show how it all works and goes together. That would of been more fitting than wheels and graphic which, again, you can do on any car.
