When the MX-Sportif concept came out, I said that it would become the next Protege...several months later the Mazda 3 came out and prooved that it would be the next Protege. I was right then. Now sure, how far can a 16 year old get into insider info? I make best with the info I have.

omg...your still just assum ****. get over your self . your just some VERY cocky kid and your wrong. why would mazda wanna build a 4 door family sports car when they already know they can build 2 door all out sports car? get over yourself and think about other possiablities you what you think up.
 
lol they used x cause it sounds cool... i mean its like.... well i cant think of any cars right now... but i will eventually... i was thinking about the mx's too... hello its just what mazda puts after to make the cars sound more edgy...

well anyways who cares... and rx-7 or any rx for that matter is a mazda with a rotary inside... if i was gonna name a car... i would have crazy initials just to mess yall up...

So Viper you base RX-7 quality off of what happened to 1 friend?

no im just stating what happened
sort of thing that doesnt seem to happen to piston engines
piston engines usually give warning that they are gonna go (unless you hold them on red line then they just pop)
but with his rotor he was just taking off fairly normally and pop
it still drove but was very slow

BTW the 13B that replaced it lasted the next 3 years of thrashing with out problems

i still have great respect for the wankel
 
No. I listed the cars that have rotaries in my post, post number 8 of this thread. Read it again.
 
No problem.

All rotary engines are Wankels, except a few, like on that red airplane that a guy made to experiment with the idea of flying cars, and those rotary engines are basically cylinders with rotors, instead of the trichoid design of the Wankel rotary engines in cars.

There are also different types/sizes of rotary engines. The first ones used in Mazdas(in the Cosmo Sports) was a 10A, or a 1.0L. There's also the 12A, 13B, R13B(racing), 20B, R26B(in the 787B), and others. Among capacity changes, there's component size differences. Some rotors are bigger but slimmer, while others are smaller circumference size but wider. They all have different charactoristics. Also, all production rotary engines are at least 2 rotors. Since the rotor spinds offcenter, a single rotor engine(which were most of Wankel's early prototypes, Mazda even had a 1 rotor prototype in the early '60s) would vibrate horribly. In a 2 or more rotor engine the rotors are put 120 degrees from eachother so that the counter-act the other rotor's forces and make for a very smooth running engine. Rotary engines also make more heat than thier piston counterparts, though usually that's not an issue.

If you were wondering how I know all of this, I've written 2 reports on Wankel and his rotary engines, and got A's on both.
 
English. One paper was supposed to be about something from the '50s, so I made that into a paper about Wankel himself(because his advancements and first running engines were in the '50s) while everyone else did stuff on boring people and events. The last one was a research paper on the Rotary engine because my teacher thought that the history of Mazda wasn't something to do. So other people did such papers on everything from "the goodness of Apple computers"(the kid's presentation was horrific. Everyone was asking questions and he would fire back, then I asked 2 questions and it killed him, I asked "Why would anyone want an Apple when 95% of computer software is for IBM compatable, and why does Parkway(my school district, which sucks) buy them in great numbers when nearly all of the students use IBM compatables at home, making it impossible to work on the Apples at school and continue the work at home?" He wanted to die after that one) to subliminal messages. My presentation consisted of me speaking about it, and then I had a MazdaState(Mazda Master Tech stuff) Rotary CD-Rom that I was going to show but the Apple I-mac wouldn't play it, and I made a comment out loud about it and everyone laughed at the kid. But people asked me questions like "why are Rotary engines a useful alternative to piston engines?" while others asked "what car do you drive?". So I doubt that most people in the class got anything out of what I said, but atleast I made it evident that I knew what I was talking about and I represented rotary engines(and Mazda) in the best way possible.

:D your a good man, someday, mazda might need you in their HQ's, and then all those poeple who hadn't a clue what you were speaking of in your grade 10 (or 11) english presentation, will look back and say wow he must have known something, while they are stuck mangaging the night crew at the local landry mat.!:lol: :P

I had to do an english project too, last year, i did mine of history of the NFL or was it about present day NFL..ah it sucked anywasy
 
RX stands for rotary experiment. At least, that's what Mazda says it stands for. I guess if MazKid wants it to stand for rotary export, you guys can call it that.

If Mazda were to bring back the rotary engine, how could they make to it to make it more reliable?
