This is the first orbital I've used. In the past I always used rotaries, mainly because that's all I knew of. So in comparison to that this thing is fantastic. I've only tried a few types of pads so far, but the CSS from autogeek have been the best. I tried some Chemical Guys pads off amazon but they seemed to get gummed even when using the Pinnacle pad rejuvenator; not sure if it's true but people stated their quality has dropped a lot. Also tried some waffle pads from TCP Global I think, they were cheap and started to fall apart after one time washing them out so I sent them back. So as always the pads and products make the biggest difference. Never having used the CSS pads before, I was super impressed, this is another great feat of technology to me :lol: I can't see myself using anything else ever again unless I need to do some serious cutting.

So back to the orbital, it's lighter than most rotaries I've used, but I think it might be a little heavier than some of the other orbitals I picked up (but I didn't use them so who knows). The weight didn't bother me one bit, really it's just right for getting good pressure without having to press into it. I guess the only complaint is it seems to take a lot longer to get the same results, but not having to worry about fucking up your paint is nice. Honestly I think I could sleep though the process now, very cool.

If you buy an rx-7 and a chevy motor even comes into the picture I will fight you, Redneck motherf***ers. :lol:

I saw an ls swapped rx7 at a car meet, Awful, Didn't sound good and looked even worse under the hood, Looked like a typical chevy v8 with plastic nonsense all over the top of it.

Plus rotary is just cooler, Rx7's can be a bit harsh though.

I don't see the point in buying an rx7 if you're gonna swap out the rotary. There's plenty of other rwd cars that would be just as good to swap a v8 in.

Not trying to revive this but the car is gone as of today. The guy that bought it has another DB2 with the B17 and he wants to get this one running for his brother. He's going to keep in touch so I'm looking forward to what happens with it.

I was a little sad because I owned it longer than any other car. Had a lot of good memories with it. We drank some beers together before he left though so it's all good :)
