OK. So the engine of the rx seems to be the most controversial part. lots of power, no, LOTS of power from an extremely light weight little box of an engine, that no one seems to know anything about. I have rebuilt and built just about any type of engine I can think of, so how hard is this rotary, for real?
I have seen the engine out of the car, and I have seen the engine torn apart. how hard is it to get back together, and right?
thanks for reading and thanks for any and all input.

buy the atkins tape, follow the advice u can find on any good website, have all the stuff u'll need before the rebuilt process, and pray you didnt mess up something when u turn the key

less parts needed in a rebuild for a rotary.

I'm getting landers to rebuild my TII and street port it at the same time all for $1600 and the atkins rebuild kit is like 1300... why not let a pro do it? :)

u get a rebuild from mazda and at least u get a 2 year warranty. that comes in handy!its worth the extra money and less headaches to me.

my builder is doing it for 1500 and is replacing all seals.
