I agree, its silly to claim a rotary is better than a piston engine, especially modern ones. I am not sure why Matt brought that up in the video. Rotaries are just different fun/sporty engines which I believe suits the Rx-7 perfectly. I do indeed premix and also "refurbished" the motor last year since it was original from 1993 and I had the time. Just changed the seals, ported it and closed it back up for a minimal cost. When I did open the engine, the internals looked fantastic btw. Tuning is everything.
