After owning this Mazda FD RX7 for over 13 years, it’s time for it to receive some serious attention and go racing again ! Sticking with the two rotor 13B-REW engine, follow us over the coming weeks as we strip down and rebuild every square inch of this car, upgrading everything along the way.

I look forward to these
Watching from Puerto Rico! We know our rotaries but we recognize the Aussies as one of the best as well! Keep it up 👍
Broomy really nailing the "How do you do fellow kids?" look with that sweet backwards/side hat action.
Exquisite
As stated before regarding the roof of the shed, used carpet, or the like, you have said prior that the family wouldn't like the view as you can look down on it, but you could install it on the inside also to assist with the heat.
13:10 - that Hughes trans-brake setup is what I'm used to seeing. It engages 1st and reverse at the same time until the trans-brake button is released. Then it's just 1st gear and "BAM" - off you go.
Very nice setup guys - this thing is gonna be stellar.
Love these series. Been missing it since the last car
Great work guys. Can't wait to see this at Buzznats.. if we ever get to see anything again in Vic. What a wicked hyper beast
Yeah I can't say I've got much confidence for the future when they just snap shut the state. My mate was entered into the Finke race in 2020 and got screwed, now he's been screwed for this year too. If Buzznats happens it'll be awesome!
@@CRFLAus sadly the fear mongeriing narrative that this gov reverts to, despite experts calling them out on it means we're at their mercy, it's insane.
INTRO: The clear sheets are actually allowing WAY more heat in through radiation energy ... the solid sheets are hotter but they are blocking radiant heat and only allowing in convectional heat. If you replace the clear sheets with solid then it will be both darker and cooler in the shop. If you want it to be cooler in the shop then you can insulate, shine the outside to reflect radiant heat, get ride of the clear sheets and put in lights and/or put in a fan. What you do NOT see with your temp gun is the heat being let through the clear sheets, warming air and objects in your shop.
So badass, been hoping for new episodes!!!
Great video as always, progress is coming along nicely and it will be awesome to see the FD in action!
The clear roof will make it hotter lol. It's how a green house works. The steel whilst the surface temp is higher will still result in a cooler room inside.
Awesome work man
This is FRANKEROTORSTEIN CAN WAIT TO SEE IN ACTION 🤑
Sorry but that shed will get alot hotter in summer with the clear sheets, greenhouse effect! Clear sheets are physically cooler because they let the heat straight through instead of reflecting/storing. My advice is use white tin sheets with a min 50mm blanket underneath. If you want some natural light just a couple diffused sheets of solar smart suntuf variety. Alot of dirt will get in without a blanket/sisalation. Just my 2c keep up the good work
They aren’t clear, they are opaque and have some kind of reflective coating on them. You can physically feel the difference in heat transmission in the lower roof area where these sheets are used Vs colorbond. I have older style clear/tint sheets in another part of the roof and they are worse than all.
@@BroomysGarage sounds like the sun tuf solar smart sheets I'm talking about. Still strongly recommend a 50mm blanket underneath your colorbond will make a world of difference and stop dirt coming through your joints
Thank you for speaking of the critical information , your a craftsman , I for one very much appreciate your professional teaching skills. Be well and keep that rubber down
Thats a ripper box you got there Broomy! Can definitely relate to the headache of making soeedflow at a mock-up state rather than hard mount, haha! Easy trap to fall into that one.
Enjoy the in depth view of the work, great work mate, 👍
You might want to google emissivity before you rely on the readings from a hand held random number generator ;-)
Go Broomy, Building your fastest Rotary yet with that automatic it should be a very quick car.
Love it , great work . Full boost for life
Looks like you are putting some serious hours into this.
Get some sisalation paper on them roof sheets broomy!
Wouldn’t a 2 speed glide be a lighter trans and less power robbing then the turbo 400 for your Application
I feel like because rotaries make less torque they would need the extra gear to get out the hole quicker
My heart is in tears becouse of modifications you made to that icon shell.
But... all the best guys.
No different to all the sex spec bagged habib specials from the 2000s. But yeah would turning a s6 into a drag car makes me wonder.
The car was a POS that could not be registered for street use so at least now it's getting some love.
A car is just metal & paint. It was just a run of the mill s6. If it was a special edition, or 1 of 1 etc, different story.
@@aaronb1320 Just metal and paint? Who even are you?
@@Gooie69 a realist.
Brilliant work, I see we both have the same views on auto transmission 🤭🙈
"the vtec of transmissions" lol
dump and gates out the bonnet with a tractor flap =D
We can’t do that stuff at Aussie racetracks. Will not pass tech.
Take the beast to drag challenge! Haha
Keep up the great works guys, just noticed a engine oil cooler as well on the front is that right ,which is thermostat controlled as well, based on what you want the engine oil to flow through the front cooler, based on the thermostat temp your using?
It’s just the factory RX7 oil cooler setup. Oil plays big parts of rotary cooling system, they all have oil coolers.
Nice build I was thinking thr th400 for my project too but I have zero knowledge about automatic torque convert etc .
What is your fuel set up it is a ready kit your mechanical pump or you have make it ?
Broomy while i know Hughes builds an awesome box what happens if something happens to the box ? who gives it a going over? sending it ALL the way back to the USA wouldn't exactly be cost friendly (i mean i know you full BOOST/youtube guys are drug cartel rich an all ..... hahaha joking)
They make a rear billet plate with a Chevy bolt pattern.
Are you using a RX8 starter?
For my shed (wasn't insulated when we moved in), I used this stuff
shedinsulationdiy.com/index
I used a mixture of magnetic strips, high temp tape (single and double sided) and it works mint. Did it by myself, used it on the roof, walls and roller door. We were getting roof temps around the 60degC mark making it around 10+degC above ambient, now it is more like 2-3degC above ambient.
But i rather like getting all hot and sweaty like Christina Aguilera in that music video Dirty.
@@Gooie69 I'm old though and it was pissing me off lol!
Man, no insulation in the new shed?!?!?!
New camera gear guys? Images are clean af
Cleaned the lense
Is the Jatco from the 626 for sale?
Does the transmission have the normal gear ratios? It doesn’t seem like the ratios would be any good for a high revving rotary
Wouldn't the diff ratio sort that out?
@@sexyfacenation it’s like the difference between a close ratio four speed and a wide ratio four speed, it depends on how much RPM drop between gears the motor can overcome, the rear end ratio matter also, but if the first gear is too tall or the rpm drop between gears is too severe the smaller high revving motors can’t overcome it because they don’t have the big torque that the motor had that the TH400 was originally designed for
Are you allowed to put the exhaust in front of the tyre?
Yes, andra/ihra have diagrams on where dump pipe exit is allowed. Below centerline and in front of wheel is ok.
@@BroomysGarage oh cool. I remember hearing about it not being allowed there incase a turbo gets lunched and oil goes on the tyre but i was clearly mistaken! Looks mint
Why not make the down pipe trough the hood ?
Not legal in Australia for where driver is sitting.
@@BroomysGarage ahh cool makes sense🏁
Old footage????🤞
See u testing at the rotary only day next weekend at HPR
We are not allowed to go to Heathcote thanks to the never ending lockdowns...
@@fullboost nothing is more permanent than a temporary government program
What's the rough price on the hughes th400?
There are countless options from Hughes. Best to message them about what your engine combo and expected power output will be and they will be able to sort you out.
The hat is as bad as some of the welding...
bit of a hack job really
Yeah rough as guts. Looks like a Pac Performance job.
First?
