I have been looking at the RX 7 and the RX8. But a lot of online posts talk about having to pull the engine every 25k miles or so because of seals needing replaced.

I watched a few videos of engine removal. Looks easier than a lot of other cars I have done minus old Chevy small blocks.

But my worry is I drive 200 miles a day down the interstate at 75mph and hammer miles on my current car roughly 50k-60k a year on average.

With my commute should I really be thinking about getting a rotary for a daily driver? My current car I have put 190k on in the 3 years I have owned it. Body looks great and engine still runs good with nothing major breaking. But it’s a 2014 Fiat Dart GT with the 2.4

So with my mileage should I stay away from getting one as a daily?

Here's another one... i have a running engine. The stock exhaust is mostly bolted on, but i don't think that's the source. You can hear that deeper rapping sound. Seems to be coming from the exhaust area or engine block internally. Just doesn't sound right to me. Any idea what it is?

The smoke is just all the residue burning off a fresh build.

Also, thanks to all those who have been helping me with all my problems. WOW!! Legends! I'm soooo close to having my FD driving again after 6+ years.

First post on the subreddit, I've had this car for a while (2019). Finally getting to a point in life where I can prioritize it so hopefully there will be more photos (and videos!) to come.

As wondering what everyone is running for coils/wires. I’m having the issue where it seems like wires are way to loose and will not clip in, the just slide off

Hello guys,
I'm here asking your help about a strange behaviour in the idle.

The car is a '89 Convertible Turbo II, all is stock, the car have 57k km and never being rebuilt, always checked on mazda from the first owner and stayed some year on a private collection, just to know the background. the only part other standard maintenace i changed when i buy is a TPS non working properly, with a brand new one, spark plug and O2 sensor. after that change the car run really smooth, it start in 4 crank both cold and warm, and i have lowered the idle screw to the minimum to bring it back to normal idle speed.
the issue that i see is when i start the car after like 1-2 hour after using it, it start pretty well, same 4-5 crank, but the idle speed fall to near 500-600 rpm for a bit before return to the 800.
my concern is to understand the problem, if there is a problem, cause the nearest shop that understand rotary to em is like 4h of car, so if it is somthing relevant to bring the car here or something less and i can fix it. i'm practical on mechanical work, but i have no space and time to bring down the engine atm.
if you want some photos feel free to ask
thank you for your help andlet me learn something more on doritos XD
