Since BALLZ asked about the motor on the other thread here's the story.

I bought a fresh rebuild from a guy in Atlanta. Won't say who built it because I'm not certain it was there fault but it was a big name in rotarys. Anyway, the guy says it has 1000 miles and it just wasn't the power he was looking for and he's doing a V8 swap. I get the motor, tranny, harness and ECU from him. Everything is super clean and I have no reason to doubt it has low miles. I also called the engine builder and they confirmed it was their motor and the build date. I get it home and pull the oil pan to add the high pressure oil regulator and baffle plate and notice some bearing bits in the oil pan! Feeling like I had nothing to lose I buttoned it up and ran it. Ran great running it up and down the road with no problems. Took it to an autocross and it seized on the third lap. The oil jet for the front rotor is clogged solid (that's what you see on the website). Now my theories are:
1)They built a dirty motor.
2)They didn't clearance the bearing.
3)The guy I bought it from somehow contaminated the motor.

At any rate, the front rotor and main bearing at trashed as is the rotor housing and e-shaft. Everything else is good to go which is alot better than I expected when I First seized it. I'm gonna do my own rebuild and see where it gets me. Cross your fingers!
