A little history on the rotary engine. Something to read.

thanks

nice find man

great article, especially for a rotary n00b like myself.

Not bad, but he gets a few things wrong.

There were several other rotary cars sold in the US, other than just the REPU and RX-7.

Also, the engine in the 1st gen RX-7 was the 12a, not the 13b.

^^^ Yup. Entertaining article, but quite a few inaccuracies in it.

-Not sure any 1996 Rx-7's were imported/sold in the US (although some of the leftover '95's were no doubt sold in '96)

-The pre-Renesis 13b in production cars had intake ports in the side housing and peripheral exhaust ports... not peripheral intake ports as indicated in the article.

Nice catch, I was up so late reading that i did not catch that. I like to read
fast.

Maybe they should do some more research before they make there claims!
