Project Car Suggestions

The problem with the RX-8 is that people don't know how to look after them. Fit the right plugs, use the right oil (and be prepared for it to drink some), never switch it off cold and rag it regularly. Don't expect decent fuel economy either. They are great to drive, but a royal pain in the arse to look after properly, and expensive too. Personally I think the RX-7 was a far better car, less practical but tougher, and more of an out-and-out sports car, the rotary isn't really suited to daily abuse so they work better as a weekend car.

I don't know why they never put an NA 13B in the MX-5/Eunos myself. Small and light, mega revvy, similar power to the 1.6/1.8 piston engines, and the older NA rotary engines are far stronger, 100k between rebuilds is possible if looked after.

Do that actually, drop a 13B in a Eunos!
