Yep www.ausrotary.com is the best place for info!
I've owned 3 rotary's.
A RX2 with a 13b, then i destroyed it...then replaced it with a 12A Turbo. Then later i've owned a S2 RX7.
Rotary s are one of the most funnest cars that you will ever own.... after owing 2 modded WRX's, I'm still to find something as much fun as a 900kg 12A turbo rotary RX2.
Yes i did kill the 13b, but only because of my own fault! And the funny thing is even though i totally destroyed the rear gear, it would still start and move the car....sure it was very slowly and with a lot of smoke, but still it would move under it's own power! And the cause.... i didn't check the oil!
And my RX7 never missed a beat. I'd still have it, but you can't fit much more than the driver and a baby seat in the car.
It's very simple with Rotary's. Look after it and it will look after you!
It's the same with the new RX8's.... of course Mazda will give you some oil and tell you to keep an eye on the levels. Your not buying a Corolla here, the Rotary actually use oil in the fuel (a lot like a 2 stroke), to lubricate the rotor seals and apex seals.
