No, Rotary engines do not have ceramic seals as standard. Ceramic seals are a very expensive upgrade to the standard steel seals. Ceramic seals are more durable, reliable and can handle higher boost and detonation. There are lots of different types of seals out there from 2-3mm think theres even a 4mm but chattering is a problem, also 1-3 piece seals for different sealing qualities.

PARTS???
A proper full rebuild on a supra using OE parts costs around 6k 
A full rebuild and porting which people normally get done at same time is around the £3000 mark on the rotaries. The problem with these are that you have to take the engine out and fully apart to change the seals, whereas on a piston engine this is not always necesary (spelling) As the rotary has less moving parts it would be cheaper if it could be left in car and seals changed!

was looking at one before the S2K but there running costis too expensive and parts have to e sent over as most mazda garages dont stock them (clutch is about £950) so i went with the S2k
Well if u researched about more maybe you would have found out that any of the specialists ie RE:Worx would put a clutch in for half that. and a performance clutch at that.

my 2.0 with a heavy foot doesnt even get near the supra's drinking problem on light boost and 1st turbo
I think ive got a fueling problem though. I'm averaging 30 quid a week. And averaging 100 miles a week. thats like half a litre every mile or so???
