RX3 a 'sports' car! BAHAHAHA! BTW an ali 8 weights about 20 kgs less than a cast iron in line 4 (that was in the similar 808) & only 30-40 kgs more than a rotary & they dont have to rev a a zillion RPM to get off the line in a hurry. oh & no annual rebuilds

Annual rebuilds are a myth, unless a result of bad builds in the first place; because rotaries are so easy to rebuild everyone tries their hand and many screw it up.

Used to work with a guy that was good enough the he built many successful rotaries (got stung a few times by tyre kickers that scared him off starting his own business but did work for a while with a top drag crew in AUS) & he admitted annual rebuilds for race motors or even hard driven street are a must, mildly driven street though can last for ages if maintained correctly, but still not in the reliability range of similarly driven conventional motors.

Yep agree with you there, but that's the same for any race engine. That Mark Bardsley character pulls his engine down after every meet, has a look at the shells etc. and puts it back together again :). I though you were talking about engines built for the street; they should last well under 'normal'ish use.
IMO RX-8s were the wrong direction anyway. They should have stuck with more of a pure sports car like the RX-7s

I thinks the rotary engine will be no more, until they can make it economical as well as emission friendly. A real shame really, I remember driving around in the mid 70's in my RX2 and blitzing Holdens and Falcons on the NW motorway, they all wondered what the hell they were up against, something the size of of a Datsun 1200-1600 was leaving 'em standing. Mind you I was only getting 18mpg on a regular basis.

Maybe the rota will make a come back if and when Hydrogen becomes a common fuel source. I'm sure I read somewhere that the rota engines work better then piston engines with hydrogen

"Such engines have fewer moving parts and are quieter." Until a B/R gets hold of it, bridgeports it, puts a massive muffler on the back and comes roaring up your street at 3am.

they should of kept the fd rx7 shape,with a single turbo instead of the twin turbos that are in them,dont think hydrogen makes them any faster and i have heard storing it is a problem!theres a few yanks that have made there own housings and rotors etc and run them in offshore power boats,alot of proven 3rotor engines in nz racing around on the tracks.
