Oh my god, as if the thread about British cars wasn't full of enough horror stories, now we are going to take on\ Mazda rotary engines. Straight answer: Assuming you can find a Mazda rotary that still runs, you put it in an experimental and name me as beneficiary on your life insurance. What's so bad about Mazda rotaries? AFAIK, homebuilders are still successfully using them in a variety of designs; apparently there are plenty available. I only have experience with one Mazda, a little coupe I owned back in the 70's. It ran great for three years until my ex drove it into a flooded underpass in Houston. Smooth and fast as hell (the car, not my ex) but a little rough on gas mileage, it had a 4-barrel carb on it the size of a dinner plate. -- Dan C172RG at BFM (remove pants to reply by email) |
