To be honest I blew 2 engines. 1st due to a boost controller malfunction and poor install causing it to hit 3 bar at an AX event.
The second died due to overheating, the thermostat was stuck closed at a track day, I did not initially notice, once I did I just said eff it and drove it all weekend overheating. I drove it to the shop the following week to pull the motor, it would still turn sideways in 2nd gear, engine was toast everything was warped. Amazingly it still ran and ran strong. Freaking rotaries are freak engines.

Everyone with FC's had no issue, even after a full bridgeport and 600whp.... only my friend with the FD makes it go kablammy. Definitely a user error, haha. It looks beautiful but I felt a bit too cramped in the FD. I felt like I had way more space in the FC and Miatas.
Ahhh, the good ol' hooning days with the FC...
Check out that sticker!
