Check out some of the Rotary boat engines.....

Also, dad had two 1979 Mazda Cosmos....consecutive serial numbers. Wish he'd kept them....I'd love to have it.



Also.....don't forget to include the Mercedes C111 in this thread....

How about a turbo rotary e30?

am I the only one who thinks rotaries are freaking terrible? I'm not saying you couldn't pay me to drive one, but it would have to be a 6 figure salary..

Fixed that for me.

even if you never changed the timing belt, an M20 would last longer without needing a rebuild than a rotary. :p

Rotary has no timing belt so it wins by default.

No timing belt, they just have to be rebuilt every few hours.

20b's are amazing... I just wish it wasn't 7k for a sketchy j-spec.


I've always preferred FC's:

Only if they are boosted

^ My dad used to drive one back in ye' ole' days. It was his friends but he said that his friend just told em' to ignore the shift buzzer lol. Good old rotary's.

Edit: I was also told they had a yellow one with a 357 Cleveland in it... I still am waiting on pics.
