yea get compression test. it could be something else, like a water seal or something even more stoopid..=)



Truthfully speaking, if you wanna run 12's, you are NOT going to be able to have the car as a reliable daily driver. its gonna be High *** and expensive maintenance. Just the truth. it will run good and crap, but thats just how the rotary is...

A car capable of 12's can be used as a daily driver as long as it's done properly.

Ported motor, full exhaust, upgraded fuel system, upgraded turbo, front mount intercooler, upgraded computer, etc. Search through the forums to get some tips.
