      ​@@tdkyt46 there is no way on earth a billet e-shaft cost anywhere near 15k to produce, there is a healthy profit margin on (currently available) billet rotary parts.
      Rob Dahm may not have all the answers, but he has the potential to influence the market in a positive direction (from the perspective of enthusiasts)

      A 26B billet e-shaft with counterweights is $4,500USD from Billet Rotary Store 🤷🏻‍♂️

      @@CouchBuilt which has absolutely nothing to do with how much it actually costs to produce. You can get an entire billet K24 engine block for $6500 which is easily 10X the amount of material.
      Current mfg's of rotary billet parts have a monopoly, and that is what their prices reflect. What incentive do they have to lower prices, if there is no competition?

    150k for a daily driver rx7 supercar is well worth it if that is your favorite car.
    You can do a 2 rotor turbo rx7 with more power for cheaper but you would only trailer that thing to places without bumps or potholes, plus the noises are less cool.

    Since you asked......so many compromises were made for it to be a "street" car, I definitely would have gone with a intake plenum/ throttle body instead of slide throttles.

    Perfect way to build a street 4 rotor I'd say. Although I'd probably add in a little more exhaust. From what i can tell, it's pretty loud. Is it uncomfortably loud on longer trips?

      Doesn't need to worry about emissions as it's completely stock standard no porting or anything like the 787b engine, this guy is an idiot just saying this crap, he bolts 4 standard rotor housings together and calls it a 787b engine, such a waste of good parts poor Johny I say.
