It is the difference between a salvageable engine and a coffee table engine. The extra driving has turned it into the latter.

Uhh? No.

Its an Rx7, a ROTARY engine, theres only so much that can fail in these, and general when they do fail, its an engine rebuild job.

And its still salvageable, it didn't overheat too bad, and it still runs on both rotors so the rotors/housings/apex seals are all perfectly fine. It'll just be a seal issue of some type. (But it'll still mean having to take apart the engine)

How much oil did you piss all over the roads in doing all this?

I was thinking more about the safety hazard of litres of oil on public roads waiting to catch people out (especially if/when it rains).

I'm thinking about costs of expensive synthetic oil.
You knew it's all going out, you could have filled it with used oil, to check where the leak is located, then rebuild engine and fill it with fresh, nice taste and smell, lovely oil.

fixed fog lights

What were you doing? Dogging? lol

Painted finger nails?

Don't know about anyone else, but I looked at that pic from top to bottom, and not until second glance did I realize there was a car in it.

Mazda advises there customers not to use synthetic's in rotary engines.

Never had a rotary. Then just skip the word "synthetic"

No where did i ever say we filled it up with fresh oil


his dad's a mechanic, his 3 car garage is full of various oils that he brings home from the workshop

Could be coolant that turned dark lol

...yeah, thats why it smells, looks, and feels like oil.
if it was coolant, where did the oil magically disapear to?

the guy rebuilds engines for a living, if he can't tell the difference between coolant and oil id be inclined to never let him near my car, let alone HIS car lol

Ye, that's why it blew.

I once read that it wasnt possible to roller paint a car and get any kind of decent finish, does if you are painting white over white and you get the paint p!ss thin!



Granted, it will never be quite as good as a sprayed finish, but it aint too damn bad really, considering its still wet in this picture, as it dries a lot of the orange peelyness will fade out, well it did with the bonnet and boot anyway, they looked pretty much like hammered finish hammerite when they were still wet, but dried down pretty good, the white looks infinately better.
