It's amazing to think that this thread is currently sitting on 6th spot (and about to leap into 4th) in the most number of replies on the Toymods forums and it's not even really Toyota related!

Also amazing to see how many in the top 10 are Robbo_ma61 threads... hehe

In fact 5 out of the top 10 are Falcadore and rotary threads!

I used to hate rotaries, bloody noisy things when ported, took heaps of maintenance, and drank lots of petrol. But these days, rotaries have been developed to a point where they're pretty good to live with. We'll see how reliable the Renesis is.

Also, something I used to hate, ported rotaries, is something I really love these days. I think their rarity has something to do with it. Love sitting next to a PP, hearing it stumble over itself at idle, barp barp barp... Brings back a lot of nostalgia.

Yes, they may lack the torque to be much use in the traffic light GP, but that's not all that driving is about! Plus there's a remedy for low torque, it's called a turbo.
I've driven a Series 6 RX7 and it definitely didn't lack torque and the handling was absolutely awesome. The only other car that I've been able to hop in and throw around with confidence was an MX-5.

Having said that, give me a 2JZ any day. Very Happy
