So epic to see a good video on a 6 rotor! Makes me want to work on mine!!

[@bengie11355]

haha course you're here!

[@newmemer8070]

hes your japanese counterpart lol, has the same crazy look

[@z3r067]

Would you ever import a cosmo to the USA and do something radical like this?

[@dxterrattv7734]

Was waiting for you to arrive 😁

[@tokirak]

I knew I'd find you here

[@mazdaroadster-mx5]

I doubt even Mazda themselves would've thought people would be this obsessively dedicated to the rotary platform. It's absolutely awesome

[@Carlos.Rivera]

Thats why they re opened the rotary engine factory

[@Akimbo1313]

Nah they knew, those mfs smart

[@sepg5084]

Maybe in the 1970s they didn't. But by the 90s, they knew.

[@jimbowcracklehead8071]

Facts, some countries have adapted the engine as a cultural staple. (NZ/PR/AUS)

[@icedtea5143]

There have been rumors that mazda is developing a hybrid rotary engine.

[@goldengooch1867]

Gotta love how the show car gets squeezed into the lot outside just like everything else.

[@FurledFingerdFool]

Like a true project car.

[@BigBenlolz]

This man has such a rare and huge collection and is making unique stuff like its nothing. What a legend.

[@cuconatparfour665]

This dude is like the Smokey Nagata of rotary engine

[@thewolfsamurai1]

Was thinking the same

[@kleenexbox974]

thas what i was thinkin

[@Jfunkey]

Exactly what I thought.

[@blackkimchics]

It's hard to even comprehend the amount of knowledge someone who has been racing rotaries for god knows how long has. He has MAZDASPEED parts that were bought NEW, under the table? Absolutely incredible, what an awesome shop. Rob Dahm would abosolutely lose his mind just walking around in there lmfao. Thanks for documenting this in some way.

[@RobDahm]

I would hahah

[@DStead2239]

Anyone would

[@GS300Aaron]

I love shops and guys like this, just an insane amount of knowledge of one platform, could listen to him talk about rotaries for hours without getting bored. His shop just looks incredible too, endless amounts of historic and really interesting parts.

[@griffins750]

Yeah those Mazda Speed PP housings are like the stuff of legends, god I would love to hear the full story of those.

[@jungled]

if he doesnt say the word "today" 10 times in the first 2 minutes of every video he posts... is it even noriyaro?

[@Mark_5150]

That's the type of shop you want to take your car to, someone with a true passion, not just a business.

[@justin.g25]

You would never realised the owner of some workshop you drive past everyday in Japan would be a legendary racer in the 90s. So cool to see old cars are still cared for this much.

[@FurryWrecker911]

12:54 That gave me a good laugh. Allstate is a US insurance company. "Motor Club" isn't actually a club, but marketing slang for their roadside assistance program. Essentially, they can tow your car, inflate your tires, or jumpstart your battery. I got similar stickers for State Farm Insurance, but never put them on my cars. The previous owner most likely just had this as a daily beater, hence all the rust and bubbling all over it.

[@duckyouall3225]

You know it's a good night when noriyaro uploads.

[@eatsleepdrift4494]

Damn straight

[@matthiasona]

It's that magical feeling of an elder Japanese man explaining his awesome build. I love it.

[@twentylush]

In a scene dominated by turbos these days this dude is casually running carb on engines only previously seen built by specialty factory teams. also happens to be a stock car champion. this dude is cracked

[@redlight3932]

U can turbo carbs just can't have itb's tho I'm sure it's possible even then just alot of money

[@rotaryjunkie9502]

I love all the history, his pictures of him racing and still having the car. Gawd that's so cool. And the genuine cluttered shop. I love it. All the hidden Jem's. Also, it's so cool that the owner was more than happy to share it all with us around the world

[@wasabicars]

So cool, eh

[@luckylucson]

We need a Netflix documentary where this guy just goes through his whole workshop and just talks about all his stuff. This was definitely super interesting to watch! Thanks for sharing Alexi

[@110t0m]

wow, what an awesome guy. i've been loosely following the 6 rotor cosmo since i saw it posted on twitter a while ago. old school shop owners like this always have the most amazing history and stories. would love to see more old shop content!

[@matthewshadrick3094]

Best part about your channel unlike most automotive KZbinrs is you give us a look at small shops like this, spotlighting humble guys that we otherwise would have never known about instead of just being about yourself buying crazy cars and crazy parts. Best channel hands down.

[@firenter]

Even though I'm just here to watch cars go vroom & literally don't get any of the jargon this is still highly entertaining and interesting. This dude literally won a bunch of races but keeps all his trophies in a dim corner of his workshop, he's got parts he bought brand new probably straight from some factory rep back in the day and he builds custom parts for a very specific type of engine. Dude has world class experience and knowhow and yet his place is just a small, cramped and dingy workshop that looks like nothing special when you drive by.

[@dvlzet487]

I wish i had a rotary

[@seanbarnett9406]

this IS what real car culture is. Cramped over crowded work shop with rare gems all over the place and you could spend literally days in looking at everything. Real genuine people that love a chat. Man I love this stuff

[@cheesepizza87]

Super hyped you’ve actually gone to meet him

[@joshabooth]

I genuinely loved this video. My first car was a 10th AE FC, my second car was a 1990 GXL FC and my third car was a 1989 GX with a turbo swap. Out of all of them the second car was by far the best. It was a full package GXL with electric adjustable dampers and every single piece of electronics on that car worked. It had Desmond Promoda ZR-1s in 17x8 +35 and an Abarth 3 spoke wheel from an 1965 Abarth 1600 OT. I miss that car every day. I've been searching for an FC similar to it for close to 10 years. I found a couple but they sold before I could go see them. Maybe one day I'll buy a new FC to make memories with. Thanks for the video Alexi, you gave me some pure, unrefined nostalgia tapped directly into my veins.

[@JB-sv5pr]

My first car was a 85 red fb Second 86s4 turbo 2 Fc 4th 04 grey rx8 I miss driving in my mazdas

[@joshabooth]

@@JB-sv5pr they're just so good. They really are drivers cars. Now I have a 2017 WRX and a 1994 Miata. The WRX is nice and modern but the NA is just totally different. You point it in a direction and it goes there.

[@WildShotZ14]

His shop and collection is awesome, the guy really love rotaries

[@aerialasturias9785]

7:52 wow I didn´t know weber carburetors were made in Spain, the country I´m from! nice! As always this videos are so interesting to watch, keep going!

[@SnugMoney]

Alexi, I love when you do visits like this. It feels just like being there because of how casual it is. Also, that guy has a sick collection. I still cannot get over how LONG that 6 rotor is!

[@maxmexo]

Ohhh yesss! This is gold! I love this kind of videos. Lots of history culture and crazy characters. Thanks Alexi to take the time and effort to capture all this!

[@mooiboyace]

An inside look in a shop like this and all it's treasures is priceless to me! amazing video

[@StudioApexJapan]

God the Cosmo was such an insane car. 6 rotors is gonna be crazy!!! Looking forward to it!

[@FlyingSpur99]

The second half of the video was like going through an old cherished toy chest, just 1:1 scale instead

[@jonwebb9261]

When your engine capacity becomes an equation

[@SomeOne-mx2ro]

That's a lot of rotarys. The owner looks like a cool humble guy

[@VibingGenius]

Something that made me love Japan car culture is how enthusiastic they are about their cars and how they are so open to their builds, they will show you every inch of their car and arent afraid of someone copying it most open to that and are open to new comers, just seeing how much he enjoyed showing his stuff off made me laugh(In a good way)

[@srslideshop2376]

This is a rotary heaven garage!!!! Really cool old school expertise. 👌

[@scalecrawlnl]

An excellent visit to a Japanse rotary, Aladdin's cave. Thank you very much for this vintage racing treasure trove video. Awesome it still exists✌

[@Didymuss1]

Man this is so cool. I need to learn more about engines and whatnot so I can truly appreciate it!

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Nice vlog. So many awesome cars. Hopefully we can see that awesome engine running. Keep up the good work.

[@uokutadrifts]

I know A-RF from Kaido Battle 2. Nice to see the shop is still runing to this day!

[@alboogie9508]

Definitely get a rotary, I’ve been wanting to redeem myself for not buying one. Love the videos 🎉❤

[@EMERIC4N]

thanks alexi, i love seeing these smaller shops and all the cool stuff they have available to show off

[@SHFTPROJECTS]

I love seeing this kind of stuff. You can really see the love they have for these cars. Effortlessly explaining everything.

[@DZYHH]

i know this is cringe but seeing someone this passionate about something so cool gets me really emotional

[@xxDxxism]

nah it isnt cringe its just heartwarming to see

[@JoCaTen]

The Japanese never cease to amaze, 2 rotors? 3? How about 6. Wow

[@lordofrims]

6 is not new. Some Kiwis or Aussies did it long time ago. That beast can't be idle without moving.

[@Emuk777]

Yeah NZ built a 6 rotor rx4 about a decade ago

[@SuperMatiz]

PPRE 6 rotor RX4, that was huge buzz back then. I love how Ausies and NZ love rotaries. We dont have much of these in Europe :(

[@lordofrims]

@@SuperMatiz I remember a sweet gunmetal grey rx-7 from UK some years ago it was so delightful how it was built.

[@casefc3s]

[@Marbeary]

That engine is so clean can't wait for it to hear it.

[@PlsCallCYFS]

there’s already a 6 rotor that’s been around for years

[@z3r067]

[@CarlosRivera-lv3uc]

Here in Florida a friend of mine has a recently restored RX-2 with a Turbo II swap making 500 WHP, he's had her for years is his pride n joy. Cant wait for it to finish being put back together and enjoy a rip in it.
