Greetings
In looking at the negatives on a rotary it seems that Mazda stopped selling the rotary
in the US because of fuel economy amoung other things.
Also reading about the rotary this fact is mentioned in several places.
It would appear that this fact is so.
Question is does anyone know why this is so?
Also, we had asked on another post if anyone had used the aluminum end housings from
Racing Beat?  If so what do you think about them?
Royce

That was not the reason at all. Most people thought $35K was too much money for
a third gen RX7 in 1993. Sales went down. An EPA/CARB OBD II requirement for 1994 
was the last straw. Mazda pulled it from the N.A. market.

RB has several hundred hours on the dyno with the 900 HP turbo three rotor
and alloy end housings. Improvements in coatings have been made over the years.
