Was at the local watering hole last night and one guy asked what my car was, the other guy said no way Mazda never made a sports car. I told him I had a twin turbo 1 liter 2 cyl engine. He says you mean 4 cycl. I explain I get a discount on my insurance for 2 cycl. He still argues and says the dealer lied to me. He asks me how many pisstons, so I try to explain the engine but he cant grasp it. I drw it for him and he calls the rotor a pisston. He says it's physically impossible for an engine not to have pisstions. He says there has to be something slaming for the compustion and there for there has to be pisstons. I explain it rotates, does not go up and down. His brain short circuits and freeks. Damn, why are stupid people so stupid? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif

2 cycle???????

hahaha the watering hole. sorry i watch a lot of toy story and this is the first time i heard that term when i wasnt watching the movie

haha yea thats a vintage term, took a sec for me to click too

2 cycle what?

old school i guess

"man of few words" department

2 cyl (two cylinders) made a typo'



Man, ignorance is bliss. This guy was in bliss heaven. His buddy said the eccentric shaft was the pisston. How do you get a spark without the pisston? uh duh, the spark plug maybe. How does the exhaust get slamed out of the engine when the isston goes up? There's no slam, the rotor rotates and thats why they call it a rotary. That's impossible, it has to go up and down like the retarded mouse in place of my brain. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

rotarys have 2 cylinders? HMMMMMMMMMM

I got a headache from this whole thing

dude what are you talking about ...they have to have pistons or else it couldnt move...





you should have one upped him and just said..... "woah, how can your engine work by having things move up and down, they cant move unless theres a spinning rotor in an oval.."



and then shoulda been like "yea i took out my cams and ****"

im staying out of this thread now, it did the unthinkable and confused me!

like thats hard to do?

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

OHHHHH~ I get it? So customs DID get the canary back?

so the question remains, why were you around a watering hole? i thought they were only in africa nowadays.



kevin.

so did u race him???

technically speaking, the rotary engine has pistons.



piston

n : mechanical device that has a plunging or thrusting motion





wouldnt you say the rotor has a thrusting motion, it's simply continuously thrusting in a rotary motion.



rotors are pistons, rotary pistons.

very good penagru.. i was gunna say something similar.



but that still doesnt help the people who go. :there's no such thing.... look at your spark plugs, you've got a four cylinder your idiot!" I dont even try to explain my self anymore



acctually when someone asks me what i drive. i say. "just a mazda"



if their interested, than i'll tell em' but every time i say an Rx-7. i'll get, "like the one in Fast, Furious. Is it turbo? Is it fast? How many cylinder's does it have?



Bahhh! Retards..
