wow. I don't really get why they would do that unless they have the money to get another motor. They did say it had a blown rotor but still, I would have spun the tires until it blew. At least they caught the fire and put it out... lol.

I can't say it was very smart, but definately something we all would like to do someday. (If this was honda-tech I could put a thumbs up or something) :P

The funny thing is I think he forgot to lock the radiator cap down. I think it would have gone a lot longer if it didnt overheat. I was just waiting for the coolent to catch on fire, that would have been some funny ---- to see that thing go up in front of the house and next to his other car. Good stuff

Had the radiator cap been on, it would have revved at 9 grand for a REALLY long time. :) NA rotaries are almost impossible to kill! seriously.. :( turbos are a different story .. lol ... ------- unreliable crap! >:( hehee

yeah i heard something similar from this rx7 owner. he was telling me that with a triple rotary motor from japan(forgot the engine code, sorry), your ---- will rev to 14k no problem. i was like wtf... thought he was full of ----. but then i heard that from another rx7 owner, and figured its probably true. those motors are crazy, plus they are only 1.2 liters i think.
