3 rotors are pretty hot.
Perfect car honestly, except the reliability issue.
I hope someday that issue is fixed (along with the oil burning thing too).
With those things fixed it would be the perfect car period.

Believe it or not, rotary engines burning oil is by design.

I'd love to hear that thing running. The 3-rotor is a beast and a half.
The rotary may be flawed on the street, but don't forget it's still god at Le Mans where Japanese efforts are concerned.

acut no he told me he bought it from the shop that put it together in NJ. He knows the owner pretty well with the building up of his past rx-7 which he traded to the owner plus cash. I'll ask him tomorrow about the ebay thing at the gym. Chances are that it prob didn't sell on ebay. Ebay buyers flake all the time. Also his car is away for the winter offical it's about time mine has been in since mid Oct lol. I'll see if I can meet up with him for some pics. Later.
