++ ^^ What he said, behaving from now on, 'ish...

 

Hahaha no problem at all guys it's good to get some feedback and some positive opinions and we all know that "Winning Blue" is the best :D. Having spoken to the guys at Apex Rotarys they think it'd probably be about the £1500 mark as it's still a running car and I'll be looking at getting it down there in the coming weeks, but I guess my original conflicting thoughts where that it was like one thing after another and it was sort of getting me down I guess. I mean it was quite an outlay at the Mazda garage to get the Oil cooler pipes an bits done, then it was the radiator and now this and I think I just had enough with it at that point.

Thinking logically now though, I've had quite a bit of it repaired/replaced that it should be pretty good after a rebuild and it's cheaper than searching for something less fun :D

 

I think it 's a good decision.
Keep us updated.
Good luck!

I suggest you drop in on the UK forum and search for feedback about Apex Rotary and Rotary Revs

 

Hey guys, thought I'd drop in and say in the end I went for a rebuild and extended warranty (2 years) which has know been completed. Just need to go pick it up tomorrow morning and I have to say I'm feeling excited about it

 

Great news!
I hope it's going to give you many more years of enjoyment.
I don't know of the specific break-in procedure, but if they give you one be sure to adhere to it.
Keep the faith! Good luck!

 

Who did you go with in the end?

 

Good to hear you kept the 8 alive. Welcome back to the club!

Glad to be back . In the end I went with Apex Rotary who were able to arrange collection of my car since I couldn''t trust getting it down there without issues. Drove it back today and I can already tell the difference in general smoothness of the car and it's idling. They had an offer on too where I got the gold build (better seals and 2 year warranty), racing beat street port and the engine painted in blue for £2100 ( about $3300) which clinched it for me.

Taking it easy now till it's all worked in.

 

Congratulations and best of luck with the new engine. Here's hoping it gives you many years of pleasant and fun service.
