Agreed. I rather watch the non flashy ACTUAL car enthusiasts build, teach and just do things on cars. I don't dig the whole LZ, Hunt and others dudes like them. Call it hate or anything, Speed Academy is what I like to watch.
Solid intro! Short, sweet, and to the point. very well done. Edit: Really sucks about the engine. Hopefully itll go together good! Also loved the comedy sketch in the middle.
The whole reason I got into watching this channel, because of the porsche engine and rotary engine build. always interesting to see something not the norm being built
Thank you for keeping on doing your thing, you guys create some of the best quality engine building content on UA-cam, don't be diminished by the the few who complain for the silent majority of us will keep watching and appreciating your quality work 😁
I saw the last vid. I will admit I don't watch EVERY series you guys do but then again I flow in and out of almost every channel I sub to. But I've been looking forward to this series! Glad you're back!
Idk if this was edited after the failing video but everything felt much more concise and tightly edited, much easier to keep attention spans lol great video
I know you guys probably won't read this, but I really appreciate what you do, as I'm sure many others do aswell. I only discovered the channel when you started the evo build, but you'll have my support on whatever route you take. Keep up the good effort guys!!
Thank you for coming back.. We all appreciate you guys.. Don't worry what era you live there will always a car guy it never die.. Your video if not now will be appreciated if the future.. The knowledge you guys give us is gold.. Thats is why people will appreciated it.. Thank you speed academy..
This video makes my heart happy. I found out about Speed Academy because of a rotary video...and years later you're making my day better with another one. I'm so glad I stumbled upon you fine gents back then, it's been excellent ever since.
in my high school auto shop we had a rotary engine on a table like that. some idiot bumped the table on accident and one of the irons hit the floor and damaged it. love the new build excited to see this
This brings me back, it was your old 13b rebuild video that got to subscribe in the first place. I thought I would have to rebuild my motor but she still going strong lmao
You know what I think you guys need to make a dent on youtube. A halo car. something that transcends just being a fast car and becomes a character. DDE has the tireslayer, Cleetus has Leeroy, TJ hunt has Miley the BRZ, Rob Dahm has the AWD 4 Rotor. I dunno I'm just a random guy from the internet. lol Awesome 13B video. rotary needs more love in the internet
Yea but those guys spent years and tons of money building those cars. UA-cam is fickle and you can't expect to increase your status without making some heavy sacrifices. A friend of mine spent 5 years streaming on twitch - being flat broke and selling everything he owns to chase the Twitch dream.... now on his 6th year he's finally able to pay his bills without selling anything of value or asking people to help him out and has a project car that he's been saving up to build. He had to couch surf for a few years before he got to where he is. Even with high production value - its not a guarantee you'll see a gain. You can't have the mindset of chasing that youtube money because thats where you'll fail. You have to do it out of passion. The money comes later.... way later.
Vacuum nest!!! I was a rotary mechanic at Mazda for 4 yrs.. I loved them then hated them.. I used to replace the vacuum lines with aircraft line to reduce cracking 100% and help with longevity...
Great stuff guys. Didn’t get a chance to write some comments in last vid regarding feedback but either way I back your channel so much and the content you put out.
Alright guys, I'm 1:30 in and so far, excellent work creating the engine stand montage. Much more visually appealing than a static shot. I enjoy watching Pete when he's on camera but, the combo of Dave doing work and Pete getting more creative with his filming looks like a good combo. Nice work guys. So glad to see the rotary build going! .....nice Mustache Peter. Suits you well.
Great video. Love the rotary... The simplicity, the sound, the size... Looking forward to your next videos. To everyone who is reading this, click on the ads that come on during the program... Support great content and sponsors.
Love that rotary content. The rotary content is what originally lead me to subscribe to this channel. It is obvious that the last build on that motor was done very poorly. These poor builds is what makes rotary engines not reliable. Many engines are done like this and then the motor gets a bad reputation. The builder of the rotary engine is one of the keys to a reliable rotary engine. Well hell I guess this can be said about all engines. I am sure that speed academy will do it right and it will be reliable. Brap on
Working from home again , watching this made my project deadline date change.. 13B renisis rx8 project (UK) Interested to see your take on 13B. Thanks for putting the effort and quality into this guys.🤪😎
So psyched for this build. Had 2 fc rx7s and always wanted to rebuild one but never had the guts to take it apart. And the fd is one of my dream cars i will be watching all of this build for sure.
They are not back yet. They said in the last video that they will still be releasing videos on a rotary build while they take a step back to re-evaluate.
been waiting for this one! also, i find it funny you glossed right over the fact that the flywheel nut is usually a massive pain, being torqued on to 300ft/lb. excited for the next episode
Thanks for the engine tare down video. The vavoline thing got me! It’s interesting seeing the ware in the inside of the motor and what lead it to failure.
Please SA make the other parts as detailed as possible and add things that we can't find online(tips and tricks). So far great start of the series and keep up the good work. I am hopping that this will be the one guide that I will use when I buy my rx-7.....someday. We rotary fans need to keep this engine alive. #ForeverFD3S
Find Part 2 here: ua-cam.com/video/Zgfv716RLyM/v-deo.html
Glad to see you guys back at it. There are a lot of us who really appreciate what you do.
They said they had videos queued up for release - it was just going to be slower than usual.
Agreed. I rather watch the non flashy ACTUAL car enthusiasts build, teach and just do things on cars. I don't dig the whole LZ, Hunt and others dudes like them. Call it hate or anything, Speed Academy is what I like to watch.
Personally I love build series it motivates me on my builds. Thanks guys!
Definitely, I like the content that is a little more technical and less mindless entertainment.
@@13BryceNichols im the same way man. Speed Academy is one of my favorite channels. I tried to watch TJ, but ehh..not my thing either
Engine disassembly in a white t-shirt, brave.
Still white at the end, legend!
Seriously. I’m scared to eat.. anything.. in a white tee.
Big LOL.
Nah he changed shirts lol
Babe is that you?
Other dude did most of the work...that's why lmfao
Best channel on youtube for us track junkies and shade-tree mechanics.
its called under tree mechanic here
Solid intro! Short, sweet, and to the point. very well done.
Edit: Really sucks about the engine. Hopefully itll go together good! Also loved the comedy sketch in the middle.
Ha! Fancy seeing you here lol. Love the optics reviews!
@@43IWD Hey Hey! Thanks mate! I see your a man of good taste in channels!

Rob Dahm is smiling in his garage watching this :). Ps keep the channel going your the best relatable channel on youtube, love you guys!
Glad to see you're back! And 10,000rpm fd will sound amazing.
The man D.P. doesn't often work on cars but when he does, he wears a white tshirt and doesnt even get a spot on it. What a legend
I saw the last vid. I will admit I don't watch EVERY series you guys do but then again I flow in and out of almost every channel I sub to. But I've been looking forward to this series! Glad you're back!
Dig the background chune, that a PremiumBeat track? Cool teardown, finally understand the basic anatomy of a rotary engine with more than one rotor.
Idk if this was edited after the failing video but everything felt much more concise and tightly edited, much easier to keep attention spans lol great video
Can’t believe I’m going to say this but I loved the advert in the middle - usually I’m deathly against them but it was fun. Great video as always!
Glad to see another video. Especially a video with a rotary!
I know you guys probably won't read this, but I really appreciate what you do, as I'm sure many others do aswell. I only discovered the channel when you started the evo build, but you'll have my support on whatever route you take. Keep up the good effort guys!!
Guys this is one of my favorite channels. Actually informative and not your typical "influencer" type channels. Absolutely love it
My 9 year old freaking loved that Valvoline ad break.
Hey guys you nailed it with this, can’t wait to see what you do with this build. Don’t let UA-cam’s algorithm get ya down, you guys rule.
First "real" commercial in UA-cam history! lol and it was awesome.
Thank you for coming back.. We all appreciate you guys.. Don't worry what era you live there will always a car guy it never die.. Your video if not now will be appreciated if the future.. The knowledge you guys give us is gold.. Thats is why people will appreciated it.. Thank you speed academy..
the commercial was awesome! i laughed a fair amount!
Thanks for coming back guys. Speed academy for life!
This video makes my heart happy. I found out about Speed Academy because of a rotary video...and years later you're making my day better with another one. I'm so glad I stumbled upon you fine gents back then, it's been excellent ever since.
Guys, they said they had videos queued for their month off. They're not "back". FFS.
Thank you. My son just purchased his first 13b, in pieces, for his 1986 RX7. Now I can learn from you!
Abosultly loved the valvoline cut scene! What a fun/smart way to advertise your sponsor
in my high school auto shop we had a rotary engine on a table like that. some idiot bumped the table on accident and one of the irons hit the floor and damaged it. love the new build excited to see this

Brilliant to see you stick at it, love the spin on the advert on Valvoline, hate ads but this made it fun!
Dude why am I finding this channel only now? This is so good! Looking forward to the rest of this build 🙂
Excited for episode 2! Even watching your rx8 videos, these engines are witchcraft to me.
Awesome commercial. LOL. You guys in costumes is something I didn’t think I’d see. Pretty nice pace to the break down. 🤙🏾
Definitely glad you guys are still here
Vacuum nest!!! I was a rotary mechanic at Mazda for 4 yrs.. I loved them then hated them.. I used to replace the vacuum lines with aircraft line to reduce cracking 100% and help with longevity...
How are aircraft lines different? What are they made of? Cost? 🧐🤔
@@I_know_what_im_talking_about ... Teflon tube rapped in S.S. braid .... work's well on brake lines too.
Guys this editing and cutting is soooooo good, it's so much better and to the point !
Most weird motor, but informative stuff on the web. Keep up the great content
Man you guys are having rough luck with engines recently! Thanks showing us this project and your Valvoline commercial was thoroughly entertaining :)
Joe really does know his rotary, very good observation about the engine problems.
Great stuff guys. Didn’t get a chance to write some comments in last vid regarding feedback but either way I back your channel so much and the content you put out.
best auto yt channel period .
0:21 I see you have not skipped leg day. Awesome. Ok back to the build I am giddy about this.
The most informative channel out here I love this content and really appreciate how much detail is put into the videos
Well I'm back to watching guys! This is wild how the rotor motor are! I'm mind blown with the turbo system and intake manifold.
Nice one guys 👍🏻
Just starting this series today, glad to see you guys still going strong
Good to see you guys back, pretty much my favourite channel. I was not expecting the "original" content 😂
As a rotary novice, I am enjoying the knowledge sharing!
Alright guys, I'm 1:30 in and so far, excellent work creating the engine stand montage. Much more visually appealing than a static shot.
I enjoy watching Pete when he's on camera but, the combo of Dave doing work and Pete getting more creative with his filming looks like a good combo.
Nice work guys. So glad to see the rotary build going!
.....nice Mustache Peter. Suits you well.
I briefly owned a rotary car. While I don’t miss it, it’s very cool to see this engine taken apart.
Great video. Love the rotary... The simplicity, the sound, the size... Looking forward to your next videos. To everyone who is reading this, click on the ads that come on during the program... Support great content and sponsors.

13B renisis rx8 project (UK) Interested to see your take on 13B.
Thanks for putting the effort and quality into this guys.🤪😎
love the content please never give up this channel is my favorite place to come for jdm content :)
So psyched for this build. Had 2 fc rx7s and always wanted to rebuild one but never had the guts to take it apart. And the fd is one of my dream cars i will be watching all of this build for sure.

Nice!! I LOVE the new intro! I was so happy to see a video from you guys in my subscription feed
Missed you guys, love the rotary content.
The valvoline ad was a welcomed surprise lol
Stoked on this series. I just bought an FD and an extra engine to build on the side ill be following this closely.
i’m sorry that views have been down..... i love what y’all do and i love your work effort in pumping out high quality videos!! y’all are awesome
So glad to see you guys still doing this, can not wait to see how this turns out and all the other builds that you have coming. Keep up the good work.
Good music, interesting topic, beautiful production. Well done!
What is the music? Its mint
Welcome back fellas... glad to see you’re back in the shop.
Cool to see a rotary come apart. Looking forward to the next episode.
Looking forward to the next Valvoline ad spot. Good stuff.
Yes there we go. Awesome video, this is the kind of stuff we all wanna watch tbh.
holy smokes, that valvoline segment was awesome!
really liked the filming and editing quality in this video. Not to mention the content itself being interesting as always
lol, that commercial was awesome, the mustache and wig need to be used more!
friendly reminder that RHD import rx7 the exhaust side is right behind the drivers seat. Prepare for massive heat soak into the drivers side cabin!
They've gone through all this with Ken's track rx-7 before lol including the swap to lhd
@@jameskovacic4895 k? still a friendly reminder.
Love it! True car guys know whats up! Keep up the good work.
Just a crazy idea, making joint videos with other channels is a great way to increase exposure to new people to the channel.
Great to see a rotary rebuild. Don't rush the details with too many fast forwards.
welcome back, guys! I missed your Canadian demeanor!
been waiting for this one! also, i find it funny you glossed right over the fact that the flywheel nut is usually a massive pain, being torqued on to 300ft/lb. excited for the next episode
i love those milwaukee stubby impacts especially used with electric rachet they make short work of things
This brings back a lot of memories from my rotary building days.. looking forward to this build. 👍🏻
Excited for the rest of this series.
this is the content i want to see more of
Great episode guys - cinematography and music was truly on point. Loving the rotary content
Super happy to see more content drop!
Yes!!! Rotary content
While I'd never own one, I think rotaries are probably the most fascinating engines to see people work with.
Awesome, good luck dudes!!
Thanks for the engine tare down video. The vavoline thing got me! It’s interesting seeing the ware in the inside of the motor and what lead it to failure.
I see my favorite youtuber getting in on the rotart lol 😆 I miss the old wodebody fd from back in the day what ever happen to that guy
He's still building it lol. You can follow him on instagram @_ken_spec_
Miss watching ur shows. Glad u back.😊
Yeeeesss you guys are back 😊, don't forget to resurface what needs to be 😛
It’s insane to see the difference in complexity between my FC’s 13b and this 13bREW
Crazy
Very nice to see this engine taken apart, thanks for the cool vid!
This is some quality content. Great topic (Who doesn't love FDs?) and the production value is superb.
Great to see you guys back on the air :D
Going to enjoy this rotary build series. Keep up the great content.
Always a good morning when you guys post a new video.
Glad the boys are back!
Valvoline commercial 😂 loved it. That rotary engine gonna be bad a$$
