So far nothing, with the exception of a couple of stone chips and an unwanted pregnancy at traffic lights. It does consume more petrol than I bargained for - it would probably be cheaper to stuff the tank with £5 notes, except over 3800rpm, when £10 notes are required.
I am in rotary heaven. All cars should have one. The only drawback to this vehicle is that it never came in my favourite colour, which is British racing green. But I get to see all the green I can handle when I pull up alongside an MX-5.
The secret, by the way, is to avoid putting synthetic oils in them. That's why the guy I bought it from said that you can only get 75,000 miles out of the engine, while in the States they regularly get 150,000+.
Yes, I will be doing all the maintenance on it myself :)
Mine is a Savannah GT Coupe... And it's factory British Racing Green... or very close to it.
The reason the US version gets 150,000 miles before a rebuild is because we do not get turbos as in Convertibles. Its not even an option. Otherwise this is a great car and lots of fun to drive.
But really one of the reasons for a poor running rotary is the wrong oil. some synthetics will work, its all about the ash content in the oil. Less ash is better, since some oil is injected into the engine a lot of ash can cause build up etc.
