If there was a 4 rotor rx-7 being built by Motive, I'd definitely be watching and listening to every bit of content about it

[@moereefer]

You can see one by full boost

[@graememcfarland]

Do it. You know you want to.

[@Willdrknght]

2nd that 👌🏻

[@allanbower1967]

The Direct Clutch FD RX7 is totally sensational! That 20B, off the charts!!!!

[@kentstroud8218]

A quad rotor FD build opens you up to a whole new audience. What are you waiting for!

[@MrStuwr250f]

100% 4 rotor is possibly the most unique and awesome sounding motor and the FD Rx7 is just plain stunning. Do it. Please

[@chrisguest3452]

one of my bucket list cars especially the SP version. the FD could go on sale today and not look out of place or outdated at all.

[@moereefer]

Best looking , weight, and most importantly that sound of the rotary Hi RPM motor

[@casefc3s]

I think a standard-engine'd 13B-REW FD would be the best starting point, honestly. build it, single-turbo it, enjoy it until it dies. then decide if a 4-rotor is worth all the hassle.

[@grecoconduris6716]

Quad motor FD RX7 would be amazing and sound out of control. Would also like to know whether it would reduce the turn in response with the extra weight over the front? Maybe billet engine might help with that?

[@madaz0724]

Yes do it i was lucky enough Drew took me for laps at Queensland Raceway. I also own a err "slightly" modified Series 8 RZ 👀

[@jrbuch]

Love RX7's. Beautiful looking cars, never got the chance to own one and priced out now, but yeah this review confirms that they're great cars.

[@Banzaj33]

Yes. Yes you should absolutely build a 4 rotor, may I add Billet, FD RX7

[@EE9Civic]

Who doesn't dream of an NA quad rotor FD RX-7, I'd love one. FD is my next project car on the list if I can ever budget another project car. I think your budget for that build would have to be bigger than the Skylines, anything quad rotor is big big money.

[@timfitzgerald109]

YES YES & YES !!! Build a quad Rotor on your channel ... you have to do it !!!

[@TheOystei]

yes you should build one!

[@thirdgearpull]

yes! build that 4 rotor!... it will be my bible for my build!

[@jakerubino3233]

Series 8 😛 It boggles my mind at 6’4” I have more legroom in my Series 2, more than enough as well, than any 7 after and they just got bigger!

[@debugin1227]

love this gen of cars...

[@Sysiphos]

If you can fork the cash, hell yeah for big rotary

[@brettus9115]

Timeless...

[@Mr83rt]

Oh hell yeah... do it, you know you wanna and you know we all want you to

[@carbonfiber492]

There usable as a street car my late uncle used to use his as a work Ute

[@brentongarsden4949]

Yes,

[@JamesAItchison94]

Yes.

[@davemilligan9709]

You have the SR and RB. Rotor is the obvious next option...

[@RS-ve8nq]

100% Yes. Quad FTW

[@MitchTube]

I think you will want a turbo. Peripheral ported 4 rotors are hard work on the street

[@ChristopherHallett]

Did he say peripheral port? You can screw good power out of even a mild extend port if you build the engine properly and have a tuner who knows what they're doing.

[@Kruse1]

I like these better in Leb spec.

[@LampuhkapsChannel]

Yes, with Rob Dahm. Get a Collab done

[@davidhusband5022]

rob dahm, loves himself to bits. ive never seen a man so into himself.i can not stand him.

[@billyray4272]

Build one

[@babylon6847]

Yes!

[@darianistead2239]

Simple question, simple answer. Yes.. Yesterday

[@justinlewis2590]

RX 7 are my favourite cars build a good one 🎉🎉🎉

[@markaston325]

Less talk more building a FD .

[@fd3s69]

26b awd

[@markmartin7384]

what is that paint color called ??

[@the_french_spirit_r]

Titanium Gray Metallic

[@JDMz]

Out of all my cars of my little 5 collection. And my bike collection of 12. I love my spirit R. Although mines the blue. And still stock. I love it more than my g81 bmw touring. And my R33 GTR thats also blue. Yeah i kinda like blue😅

[@jeremydecatania9844]

Bluds just flexing at this point, I’m not knocking it tho🔥

[@elitecol69]

So humble..

[@ubuntuEmo]

Do go on and tell us more. Why stop at 3?

[@s13raceraustralia]

So jealous of anyone who owns one of these 😎

[@micksmobilemechanics]

Me too I had a fresh import 2000 Rx7 series 8 RB-s in 2014 72000kms it was my dream car for years paid $15500 Sold it 6 months later as I was moving out of the city where there were no rotary shops close Had I had known 10 years later the cheapest they would be was $60k I would have kept it I always thought I’d buy another but once covid hit that dream is out the window

[@theraven26780]

POP-UP UP AND DOWN HEAD LIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@888berg]

*NA QUAD FD RX7 - the people DEMAND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*

[@Ricky-nq7lu]

NA 5 rotor. 🤞🤞🤞

[@888berg]

NA 6 rotor - oh, I see where this is going....... :). @@Ricky-nq7lu

[@True60RS]

Build ittttttt

[@Ricky-nq7lu]

Quad is to easy & would really love a NA 5 rotor just to make it that little bit harder to build.

[@scubarubanzaii]

"easy"

[@bigcus8176]

Quad fd 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@robklarich572]

If you were to build an FD do something different to the norm

[@888berg]

Yep...... *Diesel* FD Spirit R RX7.....

[@seanweidner2826]

No you should not sir.

[@s13raceraustralia]

Is that question even worth asking? Of course you should. I'm a big believer in if you can do something then you should have a crack

[@stuartwhite7998]

Simple answer is yes. Build it @MotiveVideo. Stuey Mazda Mania Sydney
