sell it off ....nothing can be done , mazda without rotary are just like pondan
cheap rebuild then let it go . cover up plate so no 1 know . or let used car trade in. change engine then engine need endorse , mostly ppl see will stray away

So true.

Ever consider doing those reliability rebuild? Using exotic materials.
Read up on those build that mainly want more reliability.

Err... suggesting to change car as TS fell troublesome to take care of rotary engine...

i bought this car cheap already using student AP in 2010...
it is free from any encumbrances, only need this car to send my little sister to school n basic driving (point A to B)... no racing involve..
therefore im really keen to rebuilt/replace/switch the engine... no monthly installment is GOOOOOOOOODDDDD!!!!
bought new car need to wait next year la, whether PR o BN wins, car will be cheaper.. haha

This is the main problem. Rotary not for u to go point A-B . U have to occasionally rev up the engine to like 5k rpm to prevent carbon built up. At current ron97 price , it would be wiser to fuel up full tank ron 95 and add fuel booster

if really just wanna get from point a-b then put in rb20 lol. cheapest . ca18 also can.....lol

depends on the failure. U might want to know wat parts kaput first.
-rotation gear?
-seal?

cos rotary are not like piston where u have many linkage parts.Rotary are mechanically simple.maybe go for a second opinion .who knows it may just need some repair only.

B20b hybrid? This engine let you down to just a matter of time.
saw too many B20b are having problem of breaking blocks, valve, or crank. Finally the owners fed up with rebuilding it and sold off their rides.

Be my guest if you wanna try lol

I tot SR20 is better than RB20...

sorry no pistons here.

coz its only a to b purpose . so suggest ts the cheapest heheheh

i looking for the best solution,the cheapest one may not be the bestest solution...
need all the sifu's input to help me to make the best decision...

25k ? but mine i also change at ah choy place there about 15k...

mine only 62k+ then kong . lol ...though i may have found out why the engine kong ...

just get a new engine , cause you would not know the halfcut condition

why? share abit?

brapa ko angkat mazda ni? ap adik ko blaja kt jepun ke

back when first got the car , noticed that the engine temp would rise during traffic jams .s. had read that engine would tend to heat up in traffic conditions or hard driving so left it ..then after cny last year , driving to KL from PG , just before ipoh , there`s a section of the higway which goes up slope before the tunnel ... got caught in a massive jam , the engine temp had risen to maximum ( i know my mistake , should have pulled over and let it cooled down ) , reached the tunnel evrything cleared up and went back to normal ... reach KL already , suddenly the car stalled, but after a while it started back up , the quickly drove back home ...few days later noticed the temp still rising ...so masuk workshop (st wangan ) dianosed driver side cooling fan motor kong ... but i think by then the engine was damaged bdly ... lol

wah means fan indirectly injured the renesis then..15k fly away,.. steering rack got change ar?

nope, still the same ,though i suspect thats the next item to go , haha ..damn mazda and the electric sterring . ;;;lol

so engine working but you changed it anyway.. orang kaya is orang kaya..

i only changed after the ah choy took apart the engine and showed me the parts which were err...serisouly needed replacement ... worse part was the e-shaft bearing ... worn down till you can see the copper/brass color, the rotor housing got deep scratches,oil leak (which you know is disaster) .. and the car had problems starting ... i think due to the overheating incident . lol

25k is brand new zero milage engine, if change to recond engine it would be around 15k~ depend on replaced parts.. (quoted by ah choy last week)

haah, adik blaja jepon... kerete sahaja RM18k~ xmasuk tax n lain2...

mine it got stalled at traffic light in a hot sunny day somewhere in rawang, temp to the max, water tank suddenly burst, and that the story..
