[@BobbyCYeah]

you know how to dial in a rotary, don't you? Lol. your power band is ALIVE!

[@Smittyschannel]

Amazing how 2 rotors can fly imagine a 20b p-port 3 rotors

[@llewvirtue861]

Finally Jeff you started to Rev it and not short shift, you see how you catch that porche when you ride it like you should. You should also be getting on the throttle earlier. This is frustrating, outbreak him and get down the inside. Ye you did it, now in order to get ahead you have to make little gains on each corner I loved it

[@13bro45]

Dammit I just bought these pants.

[@hainesy67]

rx7's up there with the best handling cars around the world my driveway will always have one. great driving m8 keep them vids coming

[@Jarmezrocks]

Glad to see there are only likes on this clip. That is phenomenal. Both the car set up and the driving. Congratulations. The sound of this thing is incredible. And from the way you're driving it man, when you hit those corners you're acing those other guys in the exotic cars/larger capacity/turbo cars.

[@rccardude04]

I thought I recognized your car/name... Was a heck of a chase in the runoffs this year. Had to go back and watch the GT3 race. Next year you'll get him. :D Thanks for the videos. Keep 'em coming man!!

[@elverguillen3194]

[@Worldofgarbage]

Multiple class race.

[@Worldofgarbage]

Congrats on the finish!!! Hope to see this car at the run offs again!

[@nathgallagher1670]

After I seen the first video; my life was changed for the better* I bought my first "rotary" an 1979 S type w/five speed. Love ur racing!~it's totally Epic! Love my Mazda =)

[@SwedishLlama]

[@akribela]

[@c0rpse1]

[@oldskoolracers]

[@YesNoMaybeIDntKnwDoU]

Thanks buddy boi!

[@tamekoroheke2668]

The man

[@kurtphillips124]

Great racing. Which track is this?

[@TheWesman45]

What trans are you running? Seems crazy fast whatever it is

[@leggoeggo1031]

Awesome driving kno the rx7 doesn't have the same power level as some of those other cars but i kno it can out handle them

[@corriejacobs5876]

Brilliant man this driver ca drive a Rotary,n not every one know how to keep a Rotary alive

[@FukU2222]

Has the car ever been dyno'd? With or without restrictors? Would love to know the approx power-weight ratio.

[@testdriverforza2]

you should get more views ur vids are awsome

[@johnprecht580]

What is your redline at?

[@55bobito]

How long did the motor last

[@zomgz932]

also you can swap the subframe from the FC into a 1st gen to get better front suspension. and brakes. and you can switch to a tri link + panhard on the rear then coilovers on the rear. for better rear suspension

[@christians131]

That sounds better than most of todays music

[@mfuji02]

4 rotor turbo ftw

[@YesNoMaybeIDntKnwDoU]

haha, the bug has bitten, i'll check it out!

[@yesop03]

Was that a Saleen SR!?!?

[@Damicske]

Yes but its not easy (front). The rear I must check out (I'm googling it)

[@YesNoMaybeIDntKnwDoU]

Yeah same haha, then seen your comment, i thought it was naturally aspirated but in another one of his videos, he mentions something or other...You got yourself a rotor yet or what mate??? =]

[@gav240z]

Can you not run turbo in this class?

[@rotor13]

A race motor can last several seasons when maintained properly.

[@mistaxtony]

Engine blew? more like the car blew up!

[@Damicske]

true

[@wankle13bturbo]

straight cut gears bra :)

[@gav240z]

Really? Yeah it sounds N/A I can't hear the turbo over the sound of how awesome this is. :) Funny how they have to add weight to it though :).

[@gav240z]

Yeah I think the other video is a 20B N/A FD. Yep I have myself a rotor alright. Check out my channel you'll see a Silver 95 FD that I upgraded to 99 spec. I love rotors!

[@Diablothein]

The wonders of the RX7, you can dive under the brakes and get away with it.

[@zomgz932]

dident stop them from winning a lot of races.

[@gav240z]

Actually read the description it says N/A

[@zomgz932]

neither conversions are "easy" they involve cutting and welding. but they are options.

[@jr.fiebre3590]

You have a 13B or three rotors 20B it sounds beautiful you just need a Turbo

[@YesNoMaybeIDntKnwDoU]

It's charged bra, doesn't sound it aye?

[@testdriverforza2]

why a restrictor? seems like some other care have much more power than your rx7... not really a fair game is it?

[@zukobringas5096]

Your car is great and it wants you to win...but its begging for a turbo.☹️

[@XR4turbo]

I'd estimate 350-400bhp unrestricted.

[@zomgz932]

first gens are cheap and easy to work on. also the lightest of the 7's

[@llewvirtue861]

Take out the restricted and then we will see who rules

[@NaughtiusMaximu5]

hmmm, needs a turbo....

[@Damicske]

Its true but the suspension sucks :(
