Ever since car was de-flooded: I have had very hard starts. It starts after around 5 minutes of trying to start. I will be experimenting by adding 2 stroke oil to add compression to the engine and see how this turns out.
The car is very much so a "beach house car", perfect for a summer day. I say this as in my experience, the car drinks petrol much faster than the equivilant piston engine, is very loud and is fairly hard to steer (no power steering).
If your looking for a car to drive to work etc, I would suggest an engine other than a rotary, unless your ready to take on a couple of extra services to the car. I must also include that the rotary engine, GENERALLY requires a rebuild every 100,000kms.
But if your looking for a car to dip into the 12 seconds with the least amount of mods then this car is for you. As I have seen bridgeport's with 48mm weber's do this fairly easily.
If your prepared for the extra baggage then congratulations, I doubt you will be unhappy. A rotary engine on the road is a fairly rare sight. Knowing that I was daring enough to take on such a car is what gives me so much pride to sit behind the wheel.
Hey everyone reading, well I sold the car a couple of months ago. before I sold it however I found the problem with the hard starting- it was totally my fault as I had forgotten to plug a vacuum hose.
Since selling the car I can tell you that I have greatly regretted this decsicion, even after owning two other japanese sports cars (a nissan 300zx and a nissan s13 silvia). I guess I'm just another victim of the "rotary bug". hence my next car will be either an N/A FC or an FB rx7- preferbly already bridgported.
Goodluck with your decision.
