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

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!

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.
