New Neato. Have fun with it.
New Cylinders? Don't you mean rotors?
And I'm fairly sure all RX7s had two rotors.

New 2 plugs per rotor.
I think Static is right that the RX-7 almost always had 2. Unless you wanted a dragster with 4 rotors - http://www.youtube.c...tch?v=EebTCsiP3rs (0:37)

Or 6 - http://www.autoblog....-and-sounds-like/

But, no pistons.

It doesn't have any valves either. :-)

Cheers,
Scott.
New They do double-firing.
I've heard some Japanese conventional engines use two spark plugs per cylinder; this is also possible in Mazda's rotary engine.

Whatever the configuration, enjoy the car! My 924 is lotsa fun.

New Test drove 1
RX7 GREAT.

Remember James Garner commercial: "Rides like it's on rails"

It did. Salesguy was in the passenger seat, gave me NO WARNING: TURN HERE NOW! command while I was on a twisty road at about 65 MPG. I pulled a jug handle and stopped in 1/3 the amount of time I would normally give myself for it. It was emergency maneuver time.

I screamed at the guy: YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE.

He responded: Yup. Cool, wasn't it.
New Nice
