6 rotor at RX-7 meet in Japan at Seven's Day

Seven's Day is held every year in Japan on the 7th of July. This year, a big meet at Mobara Twin Circuit featured multiple high-end builds with six, four and three rotor cars, drifting, time-attack and show cars.

3:46 I don't know how I missed that. Maybe if I had an editor, my QC would be better. The mistake will live on forever in this video and be a monument to poor work practices. Maybe I secretly like FCs more.

[@WhuDhat]

haha I was literally about to drop that gem in the comments. don't sweat it man I'm sure you were already having a long day at that point &it was a simple slip of the tongue. plus, as they say it takes a true man to recognize and own up to his mistakes.

FC is the way to go

[@hawkarm6604]

Everybody has a mistake now and then, a slip of the mind!! I love your content and i realize at 6:49 that if could suggest an idea for a segment in one of your videos is to explain Japanese license plates meaning of the different kanji and numbers!

"Is six a lot?" Depends on the context, Doritos in your bag of chips... no. Doritos in your Cosmo... yes!

[@jacprendo]

"Turns out it's just a really good way to turn fuel into noise" cracked me up

[@TurboHappyCar]

And heat. So much heat.

[@andresavaiinaea99]

3:09 wow that was uncalled for

[@subohmcircus]

What a crack up. I'm from NZ & as you made that comment about the Luce I was thinking pretty much what you were inferring and I just started laughing my head 📴

[@byron1dagg80]

Hahaha same, it was perfect

[@subohmcircus]

@@byron1dagg80 Dan Teboon had one back in the day.

[@AlexNZL]

Same. When he said there are not really any older rotary's in Japan I was thinking "because they are all in NZ".

[@subohmcircus]

@@AlexNZL We had it so lucky in the 90's/00's It was the best of times...

[@_Zekken]

Am kiwi, can confirm also burst out laughing

[@-MacCat-]

"Turns out it's just a good way to turn fuel into noise." and "One of the downsides of rotaries is they're not exactly fuel efficient ..." are two of the greatest, and funniest, truisms about rotaries EVER. Thanks for a superb video Alexi.

[@LaGantoise]

That Luce is totally my vibe. Same goes for the fairly stock looking FC's on BBS-looking wheels.

[@aidemhuerta4350]

Totally agree, I was surprised that the family wouldn't want to roll in it. Also, there's an SSR badge on that Luce's wheels, didn't know they made factory wheels for manufacturers.

[@mattmaras2746]

Those bbs looking wheels on the fcs are made by bbs for mazda! They came stock on some fcs and na Miatas.

[@Kai_soze]

The Luce is where it’s at haha

[@C4CH3S]

that thing is sleeper AF. the momo steering wheel and the SSR wheels.

[@staticcorvette5998]

That car on wider wheels and lowered a bit would look killer

[@Johnwalter1044]

4:55 Now THAT is a JDM Big Block!

[@Hanks1938ELKnucklehead]

That SA is exactly how those cars should be built and driven. I'd say, even in the states you could build one up fairly cheap.

[@QuantumPlaysOfficial]

Yes they still are fairly affordable they haven't hit the drift tax yet last time I checked

[@byron1dagg80]

@@QuantumPlaysOfficial Where do you live?

[@The0Advent]

The car itself is cheap. The fc suspension swap is a pain. A 13b peripheral port is not cheap. About 3k for the ceramic apex seals alone. He's probably running a turbo ii tranny. About 800 usd. And lord knows what on his suspension. It looks like he still has thr live axel though.

[@superrookie-1]

@@The0Advent yeah these japanese guys go all in with their hobby just to satisfy themselves

[@ThreeDaysOfDan]

@@The0Advent in total he has probably 18,000$ in that car ( 8 k engine, 3 k trans + suspension , 5k car !K other .. cheaper than a used econobox ..

[@jakedeutscher]

Man I’ve been watching noriyaro since I was like 10 and I’m turning 22 this year. Please keep doing what you do Alexi

[@41tinman41]

Didn't think I'd learn Osaka slang today, but great! Nedatte nanbo! Also, that Godfather horn!

[@triggeredhondaboy8648]

crazy how the four-rotor almost sounds like a flat plane v8 and the six-rotor sounds like a bootleg Lamborghini. I guess that makes sense with two power strokes per revolution, but is still pretty friggin cool if you ask me!

[@bossplayerunit4563]

yea idk why but both 3 rotors and 4 rotors (idk about 1 or 2 rotor) have the same sort of sound profile as a 4 cylinder or 8 cylinder, but with the distinct brapping

[@pillowrex811]

3-rotors sounds like inline-sixes, Then 4-rotors sound like a v8 with 8-1 header

[@Mantenner]

IMO it's an absolute insult to both 3 rotors and 4 rotors to compare them to a V8, they sound infinitely better than a dual bank 4 cylinder any day of the week.

[@wills.junks7]

@@pillowrex811 the 3 rotors sound more like a 2 stroke inline 3 to my ears tbh, except the 3 rotor braps a lot and has less metallic crackling sounds that a 2 stroke has when accelerating

[@Matty.Hill_87]

There's a guy building a 5 rotor with the aim of it sounding like a f1 v10 engine

[@Kovalchuk65446]

These videos are made perfectly with the sound the length of clips your voice just makes the best videos for car nerd possible!

[@mikedrop4421]

I remember seeing that 6 rotor on a tour of their shop. Soooo crazy.

[@Pallidus_Rider]

License plate had 90-97, which are the years the Luce was manufactured ‼️

[@crustydownunder]

You cannot beat the sound of a good rotary engine. Either on red-line or idle. I love it. Brings back memories of my early RX4 coupe and RX2 coupe.

[@firstnamelastname-ev7br]

this is beautiful to see, all these people coming to show off their appreciation of these cars, and seeing how well preserved some of these 20-30+ year old cars are really makes me happy, it always hurts to see one in bad condition but this meet is full of FCs and FDs with flawless paint jobs, original body parts and rims or subtle aftermarket parts. this is such a treat to watch

[@toxicsledgeful]

If only Rob Dahm and the Insane 4 Rotor were flown out overseas to this event! This would be his Literal Dream!

[@uselessoutdoorsman2826]

That dudes a jucier, hes only respected by children.

[@shaneduncan2996]

[@trampman454]

Thank you for all of your coverage over the years Alexi! I have been a fan for 5-6 years and will continue to be a fan of yours for your unique content! Love the new ProBox!

[@jay_stne]

God this whole video is an absolute banger, great knowledge from Alexi and some absolutely stunning machines

[@alex_k1410]

You should go back to your roots and get an SA22C, the oddball GTX-Turbo variant with the factory 12A Turbo engine would be cool.

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Awesome vlog. Nice to see that engine running better. Really nice you returned to this event. Nice video. Keep up the good work.

[@mooiboyace]

I think right now FC is the way to go for sure ! I wouldn't mind an NA one at all, they sound amazing! Get one while you still can Alexi

[@dukedub]

My favorite upload every year, thanks

[@-kilian-]

My heart always breaks when I see these car shows. Japan's tuner scene is really something else, so unique even the spectator's cars look dope

6:09 that's a nice car! kinda digging it's style! it even got features that still are kinda premium today. Actuators for the hood! Look at that!

[@quadesbox]

I used to have a HC 929 (export version of the Mazda Luce.) Sadly just a 3L V6 - no rotary in the export version.

[@bsiccs]

I love the different ways those guys dive into the corner entry!!!!

[@ptcarino]

I'm liking this new intro format

[@sakuraart]

I had that exact LUCE!!!! I loved that car, but could actually watch the fuel gage go from full to half tank driving up mountains in Japan.... But it was an absolute love of mine!

[@youcodnerd]

Back in 2019 when i visited Japan I saw that baby blue fc rx7 leaving a pit!!!! It made my week getting to see when before I flew home !!!! Happy to see it still doing well

love that blue re-amemiya NB next to the luce. glad to see it around still after its TAS debut.

[@tomo8224]

Great video!

[@Gothstana]

The Sexy Knights FC is my favorite RX7 ever, that is a thing of absolute beauty. I mean they all are but that one especially.

[@TurboHappyCar]

And the owner seems like a cool dude!

[@ThatGuy-ze6zc]

Was really cool to see the Luce. Im from Perth an I used to own one in my early 20s (around 07-09)until it broke down on the freeway one night an ended up getting stolen (ye, one night was all it took). But mine was the Australian variant with a sub-three litre v6 an 929 badging.

[@joemamma9642]

this was dope AND educational

[@guaxxxinim]

i really love the re amemiya weird-porsche inspired bodykits, they are so unique and well done!

[@dvlzet487]

My dream car is a Rotary

[@pocketradzys]

I love the smell of premix in the morning

[@kbnzr1609]

Content was wicked as a rotary fan but I was more impressed with how well you speak Japanese!

[@acolyte1951]

luce's period era smell adds +50% to the value

[@nes3382]

Love the intro!

[@bigerch85]

That Luce is stunning 👌

[@AfferbeckBeats]

6:07 one of my favourite cars of all time, the HC hardtop. Though we never got the awesome Luce Royal Classic turbo rotary in Australia, just the 929 V6. There was one on my street a few years ago, in pretty average condition. I should have knocked on the door and offered them a grand for it or something because one day it disappeared, and I looked up the plate and it says it's not registered anymore, so something probably broke on it, cost too much to fix, scrapped it. Of course, now people want big money for them so I'll never have one.

[@donttestme9546]

Love the sexy knights car, and loved the interview. An absolute legend

[@boostedbrick62]

Great video Alexi! You should definitely get an FC rather than an FD

[@shakalakadingbang756]

YES THANK YOU FOR THE TRIANGLES

[@willowboyd1530]

*Nori posts a new video* me drops everything to go watch it and almost burns down my house I was cooking:)

[@Dissaxter]

Japan is my carculture dream country.... i wish i could do motorsport here, like racing or drifting. Motors are my life.

[@C-M-E]

I'm going to chalk it up to needing a little more massaging, but that 6 rotor didn't sound like I was expecting. Seems like they improve in quantities of 2, but it's not a linear curve. Four rotor still seems to be the noise per rpm king, but full props for the engineering!

[@markusgeimer3099]

I gotta love that godfather horn, only other time I've seen that was on the Sopranos lol

[@loosemeatsamich3689]

I miss my fc rx7 so much. It wasn’t pretty and it wasn’t fast, but I loved that car.

[@whiteboynse]

Hope to see more of the 6 rotor because 1,2,3 and even 4 rotors make stoooopid amounts of power.

[@daedalus_20v]

16:32 totally in love with that red FC in the background

[@Svyatpro]

so cool meet!

[@YouFag1334]

Man that 6 rotor sounds special

[@Belgian-Motorsport]

This makes me want to buy an RX-7 so much. :) But I probably won't. 4:44 I love that the track speaker (forgot his name) is going around the paddock with the spectators to listen to the cars revving. You'll never see that in Europe.

[@sirfarcus4798]

Pretty sure the announcer is Mana-P from Option and D1

[@DB-fn3fz]

9:02 love that Godfather-themed horn

[@trevorhumes7454]

17:32 "turns out its just a really good way to turn fuel into noise" 😂hahaha

[@robsorgdrager8477]

The Japanese car culture is just awesome. They have so much wrapped up, it's all proper and if it's not , it's simply properly improper. As some one that Understands honor and passion the Japanese car culture is just excellent with me.

[@tag206]

3:46 must be one of those jdm only fc's. Never seen one in the states. And if you can find one of the old pettit kits, renesis supercharged sounds orgasmic.

[@falcongang5280]

3:08 got me nervous there for a second Alexi, 🤣🤣

[@jamesh5460]

Very cool!

[@wrapdump]

Wonderful. That 6 rotor sounded like an absolute bag of shells though

[@largetarp]

11:45 back in Perth, Western Australia, the Rx7 day I went to only had 1 fc! Lots and lots of FD’s

[@casefc3s]

Every time I open up the door to the FC it's like "ahhh, that period-correct smell" xD
