done have one But I would love an rx2 or rx3 turbo bridgeported. Would do peripheral port but I wouldn't want to rebuild every 50,000km or so.
I also would love a rx7 20b.

That's pub talk these are Engines need to be treated correctly like any over car but these have special demands.

Mine is 56k Miles but I know someone's engine who has Fallen in the Mid 6s in the rear rotar but it's had 160k and still goes on sting no cold or hot start problems and it's not even bridged.

With these cars you have to wait for them to warm to operating temperature before driving. If you shut off cold the rotar chamber is not hot enough to burn all the fuel getting injected in the engine so you shut it off the rotary stop spinning and excess fuel gets trapped in the chamber over time this fuel will be washed around the engine and mange to get its self under the seals which will prevent the seals from sealing and give low compression which is when you need a rebuild.

Don't listen to pub talk about these cars they are fantastic to drive and great engines. But I do admit the rx8 is not fast but it improvises with it's amazing control and handling. Power is nothing without control

I was only talking about peripheral port which have a short lifespan regardless of care as they were designed for racing but proved too high maintenance

Looks nice that bro. Not one spec of rust and bubbling.

I love the Velocity Red

Just hope you don't get any scratches i heard the VR is a very hard colour to match even with the correct paint code
