I really do encourage others that also find benefit to speak up & tell us how it has helped u too!So long as you look after fueling and don't overheat your engine (assuming you started with a good engine in the 1st place) you will not encounter any apex seal related problems whatsoever. Breakage only occurs through abuse of the engine & misunderstanding of its somewhat unique requirements. The engine will last you very well as it still does for me 3 years on from rebuild. I confidently drive my RX almost every day and don't even think about breaking an apex seal because I know I have correct (adequate) fuel and therefore my apex seals will not break - they only break when you have lean burn and pre-ignition (knock / detonation) causing uncontrolled small combustions which crack the apex seal(s).Also I never stress about overheating either because I have a more efficient radiator to dissipate more heat together with a PIVOT fan controller to make my fans cut in earlier at 90 degrees versus oem which is normally way above 100 degrees - way too late for our climate.Once you have your RX-7 setup correctly in the areas that matter (and I am definitely not referring to external appearances including huge wing, bodykit etc etc) it is a very enjoyable experience owning, driving and looking good in this unique sportscar.OK getting back to your comment about your mate - this is very common because there is so much misinformation floating around and of course some does come from those "mechanics" I often speak of that spread similar negative and misinformed comments too due to lack of correct & technical knowledge.I bought my RX firstly coz i really loved the shape when i first saw it at the Aussie motorshow in 1991 and secondly I had seen many rotaries in Perth easily out-drag many hotted up V8s and turbo fours on the street, at illegal drags, car events and Barbagallo (those that know Perth well) raceway! I just had to get me one!!!!! Only after buying it here in KL did I later find out about all the bad talk of rotary engines - I was shocked to say the least, especially since there was only good talk & 100% praise back in Australia.</blockquote>
