Seriously, a non modded and well maintained NA FC is reliable too. Find a nice one and it will deliver.

the first car i ever owned was a rotary. i learned about these cars, and forever will be a rotor head.



and just looking at my buddies web sitesand their mods, i must say i'm glad i own a rotary, b/c the mods are much simpler, straight forward, and OUTSIDE the engine.



about the only internal thing we can change is upgrading to 3mm apex seals and bigger ports, both of which are done when the engine is rebuild.



we dont have head gaskets to repair, rockers to change, competition cams to buy. no heads to replace. just fun things, outside the engine, that people can see when we open our hoods.

1st gens don't have tranny problems. 2nd gens have crank problems, and 1st gens have half-axle problems. Head over to DSMtalk.com if you want to learn more.

dsm's dont have crank problems. the crankwalk happens to less than half a percent to them.



but theyre allright cars, if you plan on racing people on the street it wont be a good idea because it needs high rpm launches to be fast, and you cant do many of those with that tranny.
