  • 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

    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.

    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 🤷🏻‍♂️

    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.

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!
