Message	that ran too hot and caused seal damage, etc. I had a bunch of the series I and II Rx-7's. Very fun cars, needed little maintenance (no valvetrain, no timing belt)! The series III were little rockets, but those engines needed rebulding every 60k due to seal failures. Rx-8's became maintenance nightmares. Seemed to be some design flaws after the early 90's. Not sure if its because of new people or underengineering to match the higher power loads.

The problem is with modding - MixManMash 20:53:22 05/17/16 I love rotarys but, the msp is the worst designed rotary - NUTTZ(EPTmotorsports) 09:48:36 05/18/16 #1 killer of rotarys. Modifying anything without tuning. - NUTTZ(EPTmotorsports) 09:52:05 05/18/16 I dunno man... - Antihero 09:57:50 05/18/16 I hear ya antihero. thats very true.
