Have you ever just sat there with your piston car just imagining you have a rotary? Call me insane, i know i've made posts out of control on just about the same topic but just about all i can think about is rotaries and having one. I draw rotors and housings all over my paper all day at school. I can't read about supras for mroe than 10 minutes before i get bored yet i can sit here all day. I don't know. I wanna mod my Supra but money on that is money that could go toward a rotary.

My inline 6 is one of the smoothest sounding engines i've ever heard.

Cuz you don't have a rotary.. some boingers may sound smooth... but they do not have the distinct rotary sound.. My brother has a lancruiser with the damn inline 6 too.. i think it is also a 2jz.. anyway.. it is smooth.. but does not have that jet like sound to it.. I get WOOD just thinking about it..!!!

My boinger is a motorcycle, so I enjoy the rumble, and the vibration feedback I get from the bike. And it's nice being able to hear every distinct "glug glug glug" from the engine. By the way, my 7's exhaust sounds like ***, so that's why I currently prefer the voice of the bike.



And I love the simplicity of the rotory, pure genious. But I can't help marvel at how someone can take all the moving parts of a piston engine and make them all work together, correctly.

yeah ssame thing here. I am amazed a scared of how so many parts work continously together in a piston engine. To tell u the truth im scared of pistons. Rotaries are much more simpler, sound sweeter and are just hot. They do get u upset when something goes wrong and no mechanic will work on your car. But hey more money saved if u do it ureself and u will be one of the lucky few who understands the true genius of a rotary combustion engine.







Pistons um ya make good paper weights...

yes the rotary. I used to be a piston guy..but I was converted...I just love the idea of 3 moving parts on the inside...so simple so sweet soooo easy to make power, and nothing to rob you of it.

Are you kidding? Drawing rotors is all I do in calculus!

Hmmm.. well whilst I've been bored waiting for my RX-8, I've been pretending my G40 is a rotary. Lol. Just had a few tweeks done which pushes the redline to 8000 rpm, so its starting to run like one too



Watch this clip - a mate said they thought it sounded like a rotary as well!
