As a lover and owner of FD Rx-7s, and also an Autograss racer....this is probably my new favourite UA-cam channel 😂 Good luck with the build!! Can't wait to see/hear it!!! 😊
Very kind words there, thank you. Having doubts about making the videos as I think they are boring and not professional enough. Any feedback is welcome, episode 3 should be very interesting as have some cool kit to show
I think Paul Harvey might have run one of these motors in a class ten about twenty years ago. It was very quick. Best of luck with the build. Someone needs to find a way to build a decent class 7 without throwing money at tuned Busas!
Thank you, I'm excited for the project but massively apprehensive too.. I love to be different. It might well be awesome or a complete failure 🙈 I know Austin Jones ran one in class 10. Not heard anything about Harvey if I'm honest. It's also been brought to my attention that there has been a saloon also. The days of bolting in busas out of a bike that cost a couple of thousand has well gone, there also not the cheapest to rebuild now. If ( like most) you have 3 engines, your looking around 9-10 k for rebuilds at the end of the year. See you around, come say hi if you spot us at a meeting.... Episode 2 is imminent!
The noisiest, highest revin’ and fastest car I have ever seen or heard, was a Mazda 787 Le Mans car with 4 rotor engine, exhibited at Le Mans 24 hour race in 2012. The sound has stayed with me ever since. Good luck with your build.I will be following with great interest.
A 4 rotor is a dream, one day maybe.... Having said that a rotary was a dream until a few months ago! I'd love to experience the 787 in the flesh, the noise is incredible. Thanks for the luck wishes 😎
Thanks for the positive comment. Unfortunately, I don't have the money to throw at it but we will get there slowly! Once we are up and running, I welcome anyone to come along and support, learn, teach, advise and so on and so forth. Would be nice to see someone els that has experience drive the car one day too to give an opinion... More on this once the cars built... I have a plan😜.
@@The-WankL-Pickup As long as you’ve got a plan then take all the time you need to create this magnificent beast! I do the recovery for the Hereford club and travel to watch rounds across the UK. within reasonable distance so look forward to it in the future. Also, don’t forget to build in a strong recovery point at the front. So annoying when we try to recover a poorly car and have to strap to the lower arm!
@@od3447, that's good to know. Always a good welcome at Hereford and there's never an issue if we're running late. Very acomadating, enjoy the track too. Fortunately I've never needed recovered 😆. Catch up with you guys soon!
If you don’t have a big budget which you say you haven’t. The best thing you could do is avoid using a Mazda rotary engine. Assuming your engine is good (it won’t be) and parts are a fortune. If your lucky it might go 3 meetings without a rebuild. 😂
Appreciate your comment, I just don't have a budget, it's as simple as that. It costs what it costs and takes as long as it does. That said, I do have to consider this is a hobby and I'm a family man with 4 mouths to feed. Perhaps you can expand on why you wouldn't run a rotary rather than jump on the hate bandwagon. I'm fairly confident that my engine is good from the start point, it's freshly rebuilt and dyno tested.... 🤔. I also have a great guy with massive experience on rotary race engines on board, more on this when we visit his shop later this month. I totally get where you are coming from and I do understand this is a development project that's inevitably going to face issues. But.... Dare to be different? Enjoy the engineering and build? Or would you prefer to just have a turn key car and match the rest of them ?

Very much looking forward to seeing this build progress, and hopefully see and hear it on some ovals around the UK!

Fuck the turn key cars 😉
@@mayothe3rd725 I can't exactly say it like that.... But yeah 🤔😂
