The Rise of Re-Amemiya: Japan's Rotary Tuning Legend

This is my first video, so there are many mistakes
It's not as amazing as I thought it would be. I'm just hoping Isami Amemiya himself doesn't find it disappointing if he finds the video lol.
I'm sleep deprived af rn so I might come back tomorrow with updates and extra details
If we can hit 100 subs I'd be very happy

Damn this is going off. Here is the music Opening: scoot 4 rotor rx7 and gran turismo 1 Mazda dealer music intro: gran turismo 2 east city Twinleaf town Saffron city Green monster by Masahiro Andoh mazda again I forgot lol. It's from gran turismo 3 Poke league theme from diamond and pearl

[@cossavard]

I've known about this company and the man for many years. Would always see him at Tokyo Auto Salon. One day I was driving running errands and I unknowling passed by his shop in Tomisato. I had no idea it was there. At first I thought it was just another tuner shop. Upon closer look it was the legendary RE Amemiya shop. I had no idea all this time I was living less than 5km from his shop.

Would be very nice to hear more about early japanese street racing scene from you!

[@WhereYoHeadAt17]

As a rotary fan and previous owner of an FC and RX8 I appreciate this video. Rotaries get a lot of shade thrown at them. I honestly think they are not for everybody. I took care of my cars making sure they were fully warm before I turned it off even on short rides. I checked fluids every full tank of gas and drove them year round including Chicago winters. The only problem I had was with my RX8’s alternator going out twice and that’s not even a mechanical problem 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@sal7382]

What this video fails to mention, back in the 80’s there where three types of racing in Japan. Highway racing, drifting in the mountains and 0-400 (quarter mile) in the city streets..I used to drag race in Tokyo and Yokohama area in the early 80’s throughout the early 90’s.. crazy times in Japan back in them days! Used to race until sun came up, or morning traffic…

[@lucasRem-ku6eb]

We still do that, Rally, Drag cars, Track racing, F1, do that with the 280 Z all, Only Tokio Drifting is unique for Japan ! Style points needed ! jury ratings !

[@psnachtmuzik]

My introduction to Amemiya san was the Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero PS1 game. There was a small documentary movie you could watch and it showed a beautiful white Greddy Super 7 FD3S. I was hooked and later owned a FD3S because of it.

I was just watching a CarWow video where a bunch of Kei cars raced and thought an AZ-1 would be an awesome platform to stretch out a bit fitting a larger power plant in where the 64hp stock one sat. next thing I know I watch this video at 5:33 Re-Amemiya beat me to by 30yrs.

[@stayntune]

The best Japanese rotary tuner? Yes and no, depending on who you ask. The most well known Japanese rotary tuner internationally? Yes. To me, I think Ama-san's team produce the best products and build the best Rx7's, but there are a handful of Japanese rotary tuners out there and are up to par with them such as R-Magic, FEED, Knight Sports, Panspeed, RS Active, Revolution, ERC, etc. Each founder have their own history as well. There are also a couple dozen shops out in the country side that don't get the exposure, but has been building amazing rotary machines for years. I had the pleasure of visiting RE Amemiya's main shop in Koto a few times, never been to their other shop in Chiba. Very humble guys, extremely passionate tuners.
