I definetly have no complaints from my targa fc, running quite strong on a mazda replaced engine at 36k, transmission is perfect shifts are crisp and defined (unlike my black fc where it feels like a joystick ^_^) suspension is amazing (tokico HP struts and some 1" lowering springs, prolly tokico as well) my black fc doesnt move due to bad clutch hydrolics, and that car is going to need alot of work, but thats fine considering i have another perfect running 7 as a DD ^_^

had my s4 for 3 yrs and it's running great. my dd and only drove it 18k mi. only major thing i had to fix was the t-stat, driver's side heater hose, and water pump. i used to drive it hard but the cost of tickets nowadays slowed me down. but it's reliable.

jeez where to begin on this thread I believe hole heartedly that the rotary engine can hold up to anything you through at it especially after seeing my jspec engine last 4 differant half *** owners that didn't have a single clue as to what to do to it besides drive it very ******' hard. I broke that thing apart this summer and found the internals in perfect condition with no flaking or grooves in the housings. I do also know that my other n/a rotaries lasted way longer than they should have being that I was all of 16 when I owned them and drove them into the ground and really the only reason they stopped working was because someone rear ended it. The current tII with the jspec had such bad apex seal springs that I could break them with two fingers they where so brittle however even with 20psi of boost I was putting on them they still held up! I firmly believe that if I wasn't the type that loved to tinker and get very bored if the car is running normally I would be driving more than it is down but alas I love to work on the 7
