as soon as spring comes and my leaky holley carburetor is repaired I'd be
happy to provide an in-depth report on the antique in my garage--a low
mileage, 13B RX7. Incidentally, did you attend or hear results from the RX
Evolve clinic conducted by Mazda in San Diego?
Don Sherman

Yes. I filled out the survey on line. I told then they were stupid for
not putting the rotary in the Miata. I liked the styling on the 
Evolve except the hood is too high. We tried that in the early
70's on Jackie Stewart's CanAm Lola. Too much lift.

I also told them they should look into turbo compounding. With modern
computer control it ought to be good for 20% improvement in fuel
mileage. Scania in Europe is using it on their diesel truck engines.

They should also look into direct injection strat charged using some of
the high pressure electronic injectors now on the market.

The rotary is by no means dead. The engine has overwhelming durability 
and power to weight and size ratio advantages. Two cycle oil, used to lube the 
apex seals, doubles the life of the engine.

The Rx7 club is the largest in the country.
