What a gorgeous Rx7! Everything from the paint, and body-kit, to that super tuned NA Wankel. Something about that unique Rotary sound puts a big grin on my face every time I hear it. When they are tuned just right they sound like possessed helicopters from hell.
One of these went past the drive thru of my part time job😂 all i could smel was fuel for a solid 4 minutes it was a streetcar too! i can only imagine how much a race spec one would burn through
Ha! Wow that was great.. its great to see such a beautiful pristine classic driven on the absolute edge....!!!😆 not just kept in a garage...brilliant. love these cars so much...👍🏻
Watching the old grinding dust float around on the floor just gives you a better idea of the G forces and the sudden changes that occur on the way up the track.
Thanks Nathaniel, that is greatly appreciated. And we hope you like this second version of the video and notice the improvement compared to to the first one ;)
A violent ride for sure. The power band of a rotary is akin to driving a Tesla with a light switch for a throttle. More than one seasoned driver was embarrassed by the twitchy throttle, stiff clutch, and narrow shift gates of my FC.
im a big time fan of these group c cars like this rx7 fb!! I wonder if you could also get this same kit or not. I believe that Rocket Bunny or Liberty Walk has their own kits that is literally inspired on this one if I'm not wrong (please let me know). Anyways, I'm really really obsessed with track oriented vehicles like endurance and time attack racing!!
Im building something similar.. as in the same car and body kit..lol it will be a dedicated track car.. one thing i noticed is that the driver is working really hard...seems like the old rx7 needs a quicker steering rack
Old RX7's are authentic machines, but I still think that RX7's are more appropriated to drift and not to race, but anyone can do whatever he wants so 😅😂😎 BTW nice car 👌

What a beauty.She's a handful and damn fast from looks of it.What a machine,driven the way it should be driven.
Love how easily it started up - beautiful car all around

2:25 that near miss made me clench my butt...phew, thank goodness he avoided that crash. Great driving!
These videos motivate me to finish my car..... I can't wait til she's back on the road

I love the sound of a ported rotary at idle. Reminds me a lot of certain liter bikes.

Driving in that sun glare must be a pain! Nice car. Sounds great
Love watching all the dirt on the floor to his just fly side-to-side as the car turns.
I'd love to see the run on-board in one cut, then the external footage :)
Other than that, damn this car is angry
I have two fb's hanging out in my yard. Really motivating me to get on with finishing at least one. Really awesome video!

2:26 had me applauding out loud!!! Virtually never happens whilst watching videos :D :D :D
Knew it was kiwi as soon as saw personalised plate! There's a crew, in town I live in, that's been developing a 6 rotor engine!

It's a regular LEGO engine. Just keep stacking.
Thats one crisp sounding 13b sounds tuff and solid
It sounds refined as well! And it's what makes it sound so sexy rather than the shitty ass BRATATATATATATATATATSJWLWBDJWHA you hear on other videos
Wicked car, and driving. From 1 Barrett to another if in doubt flat out! Awesome 👍🏁
I had a bad evening and this is just what I needed to cheer me up, and it did.
i’m genuinely convinced rotary’s r the superior motor for track
If only mr. Felix Wankel could see this. He would be joyful........
Please start including the full onboard video in the end... I love trippin on those when I'm high as fuck. :(

@@HillClimbMonsters for sure! It was a worthwhile update.
that thing wants to fly.....so much torque all weight reduction HELL YEAH!
0:37 There is so much room that you can put a 3 rotor engine bedside the 2 rotor engine in there.
Who in their right mind would dislike this!? 😒
Ls swap enthusiasts we imagine...
Some drag racing boy
The people who know they couldn't handle it or keep up with it in their 500 bhp modern shit boxes.
If they even have a car.
Mean rotor, I can do without the ‘racing’. Just the start up, idle and some reviving was more than enough.. that hills drive killed it.
The body kit on your SA RX7 looks like a RWB KIT KINDA nice rx7
Oh dear oh dear! Epic! Love the FB Rx7's
SA* rx7 the FB is from the 80's.
Such a wonderful car.
That thing looks absolutely terrifying to drive. I wanna have a go.
Man that air box is awesome!
Suspensions settings looks a bit stiff on uneven surface road
Love the sound of that bridgeport
Oh my god, this thing is perfection
I don't like rotaries that much, but this thing is really nippy. Would be a lot of fun to drive
The sound of a PP NA Rotary is surely the best they make.
Anybody can make power with a turbo, NA sorts the Men from the Boys.
Ah the sound of an angry wasp hive stuck in bicycle spokes. Love it !
She's a handful!......
I love it!
What an uncontrollable beast
Again light weight and the right amount of hp is all you need
What a flippin save dude!
Seems real jumpy, a little softer springs maybe?
tHIS IS A VERY WELL EDITED VIDEO!
Gotta love the way they used 30 year old video cams for the external shots, just to give it that authentic feel.
But srsly, great vid. :)
Rowdy rotary. Looks like a real race car, light and bouncy and responsive. Hard af to drive. Haha
A violent ride for sure. The power band of a rotary is akin to driving a Tesla with a light switch for a throttle. More than one seasoned driver was embarrassed by the twitchy throttle, stiff clutch, and narrow shift gates of my FC.
And driving any car is akin to knitting next to riding.. I’ve seen many car drivers embarrassed by thinking they are capable of riding a moped.
That things looks like an absolute driving nightmare.
She's more than a hand full!
that engine bay is cleaner than my kitchen lmao
what a nice car
I love hearing that idling noise
Caisse magnifique , bon pilote , le kiff !!!
Man can steer ! Beautiful car !
Only 330 hp, still insane
Edit: i forgot about the qualities of P-W
Engine sounds so so so good cars a beast
Looks like Hard Work!
Hory shiet dat ting iz beautivul owh maw gawd.
This is perfection !!

Driving that thing on such narrow roads at such high speeds looks *downright scary.*

High speeds? I would catch and pass him on a stock 450 with mortard tyres.
Man that thing rips! And it looks badass too.

Nice white Dorito bowl you got there.
BEAUTIFUL.
