Rotaries are the **** but unreliable and expensive Expensive sure, but I think building any car becomes expensive at some point. I've heard that unreliable thing alot outside of the community but my 85 Rx7 had 192k than got turbo'd and is now at 197k. Everybody has different experiences I think the...
