MartinT 514 Report post Posted September 14, 2019 Hi Mark and welcome. It's a shame that the rotary engine is so fragile because it's such a cool idea, but Mazda have never really been able to improve its reliability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a shame that the rotary engine is so fragile because it's such a cool idea, but Mazda have never really been able to improve its reliability. I love rotary engines but after 3 rx8s and an rx7 turbo powered kit car and paying for three engine rebuilds a change was needed. Thanks for the welcome all. 1 Test Drives Unlimited reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dern 6 Report post Posted September 22, 2019 Picked up the car on Friday and really happy with it. I do have a quick question though... my fuel filler flap isn't contoured to match the wing... is that normal? I can take a picture tomorrow to show you but if they're all like that then that's fine. It's an aero model by the way, don't know if that makes any difference. Thanks, Mark 1 Test Drives Unlimited reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dern 6 Report post Posted September 22, 2019 I think I've found my answer. I already knew the my car has had a repair to the rear right wing and I'm guessing that maybe they bodyshop couldn't source the right filler flap for one reason or another. Seems odd as the repair looks amazing otherwise. Anyway, have ordered a second hand filler flap from ebay in the right colour. 2 SimonG68 and Test Drives Unlimited reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
