@@xploration1437 so what? there are NO automotive 5 rotors known to the Internet so far! This is why this instantly caught my attention! Don't know of any marine or aerial 5 rotor either, ANY 5 rotor in existence for that matter.
It's guys like you that don't need to sleep because you live your dreams. Mazda Japan is dead. It's the garage gurus like yourself that keep the rotary engine alive. This is the project that'll just get done. No faff about. No BS. I freaking love it. The rotary engine is about simplicity and functionality. This has all those hallmarks. When I look at the headlights, it'd be cool to computer design and integrate rotors into the housing somehow.
While I'm also annoyed that Mazda is not reviving the rotary it does not make modern Mazda a bad company. In fact these days Mazda still makes great cars and they even made the number 1 spot for reliability in 2021.
@@reinatycoon3644 I contacted Mazda Australia in recent time. Their customer service representative told me they're not interested in current owners. They're interested in new owners. I'll never buy a new Mazda.
This will be one of the coolest builds of all time. Thanks for putting the time and big $$$ to build this masterpiece. Great to see someone finally put something other than a LS in the SLC.
Man this build looks insane, as i remember watching the videos about the formula seven, it just looks way more legit and feels like you've stepped up the game 👌 I can't wait to see more videos about it, it's so interesting to watch 👍
At 5:55 I had a flashback of the movie Independence Day, when Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum fly the alien spacecraft for the first time.. and when they finally get headed the right direction..🤣, Will says "Man, I gotta get me one of *THESE!!"* I hope that's the same feeling you get when you first put your foot into that monster!!😎 Hopefully we'll have an update soon on how this is coming along. Keep rockin' Dave!😉👍
I don't normally comment on videos... but for this I had to. This guy is like the real life Vin Diesel. you are such an inspiration Mazzei... keep on going, we are cheering for you.
I can wait to see your aerodynamics setup. 😀 everyone is gonna want to try build one after yours. The coolest looking slc I have seen is built by a guy named scott on mad mechanics, but he revamped the whole body. It's time for the rotary to get even more respect from builders. Thank you for your build!
What a great project. The SLC is a super starting point. The 5 rotor really suits it. Center of gravity is low and long. It is going to be a track beast. Perfect combo. This thing could set a Ring lap record.
I remember a rotary SLC build. I think it was posted on a FFcars forum. One video of it running a track day, the next time it surfaced, Tavarish purchased it as a total. I know that Your build will be A+! Looking forward to following along!!
Great build! can't wait to hear this thing ripping! @3:15 small correction: DOM tube is as rigid as chromoly tube. Rigidity is not the same as strength You can use thinner walls on the chromoly and have the same strength as a DOM tube with thicker walls, but the rigidity of most common steels is in the same ballpark, so using a thinner tube wall will most certainly yield a less rigid chassis, not that it will matter all that much as I doubt it will be noticeable.
Man, even tho this is 1 of only 2 channels that Ive clicked the bell on out of the 600+ channels Im subbed to, I still check back here almost weekly hoping for a new video lol Hope all is well, cant wait for the next update.
Im actually dying to hear the sound of a 5 rotor!!! Why ahas anyone tought about this before?!?!?! Hella nice project keep it up and pleeease release some engine content for us to enjoy a lil 🙏🙏🤤
Good job Dave! I love your design philosophy, notably the effort you put in to achieve a beautiful exhaust note. You don't forget art and passion while you focus on engineering. I look forward to your future updates.
What's up, Mazzei?! Hope you are doing well, bro! This project better be doing because it looks a tall order. Please give us another update! I wanna hear that one-of-a-kind 5 rotor sing.
This thing came to eat all of the other rotary builds. I want this thing to be done faster out of selfishness but you can't rush perfection. David you're a beast. Keep doing what you are doing.
That thing has a sexy shape, like a Ferrari FXX. I remember back in the day when you said you were gonna keep Rx7 build mild.. lol You've come a long ways, it's awesome.
Much respect for your vision and attitude! Yes, it will be a car that demands respect from driver and competitors. I know the feeling of trepidation and excitement. Hoped into my 250cc gearbox grass race kart many times while it was being built and wondered what it would be like to drive. It was pretty scary for a while, then I got to become one with the machine and would be in the top 5 of most races on the track. You know what you've got there and what a serious endeavour, racing this is going to be! Thanks for taking us along! :)
Attention to detail is key on a project like this. Whenever I have media coming for pictures or video I make sure that the RR doesn't go on the LR. I'm not being hyper-crytical, it says a lot about how the entire operation. Keep these small things in mind in the future, it may not matter to some, it may not matter to most, it may not matter to you but it may matter to one person that could be the next million dollar client.
Genius, legend, whatever you want to call it, David is one of a kind, one of my goals have been to see the Formula 7, but I think a better thing to say is to see the complete Formula vision of this man. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is able to get rotaries back into Formula one, maybe that’ll get Mazda’s attention to start producing from the factory. Granted Australia will keeping doing it lol, and it’s quite clear when put in the right gifted hands, miraculous things happen.
Oh man this is all so exciting to see unfold !! We all love your energy about the project and it comes over very well on screen ( especially when you sit in the car ) what a happy face !!! Haha I get this with my rx8 project I'm doing . You've been tagged into my build a couple of times due to my interchiller system I have created for mine . I will say that I'm doing a couple of changes to it though because I can lol and it will make a huge difference to the boost spread over the front face of the intercooler which in turn will yield better cooling. Looking real fit and healthy too mate ! Just wanted to say that you have inspired me in more areas than just cars , I'm also working out again as a result of seeing you just take life and wring it's neck in all areas . Thanks dude you're contributing to my positive shift that I've needed so much . Cheers mate , you do more than make car build vids !!! WORD!!
Been waiting for someone to properly build one of these SLC with a rotor. You did a fantastic job on the RX-7, have no doubt this will be just as good if not better than the RX-7. 1000+ hp in SLC chassis will be wicked.
It's funny, I remember thinking when you sold the 4 rotor...where do you go from here??? Apparently crazy because a 5 Rotor SLC is INSANE ! So happy & proud for you & the team
Awesome 👌 appreciate how you think outside the box builds like this are pushing us kiwis with our rota builds with that gearbox you'll be able to put a lot of smooth power down. You can already see the smile on your face when you hopped in and sat down
Bro it's so good to see you looking very smart, professional and well spoken! You've kinda got this soften tone (no homo) But I can't wait for the vehicle to tempt to compensate! It's because I love the sound of V10s! I like triple rotar sounds more than quad rotar? I like 5 cyl Volvo motors cause they just sound fkn angry! So this car ticks every box
Ugh I was dreaming about this very thing except for 3 rotors for a long time! Cant wait to see how it comes out! Plus I would never have enough money to ever do something this insane either....
When you finish this prototype make sure to hit up hoonigan they will lose their goddamn minds and you’ll get a lot of attention to this absolutely amazing build
nice work david i am always impressed with your cars, i cant wait for more clips on your progress how about some footage of your buddie doing the fab work i miss him he's a top bloke and love his red fd3s rx7 thank's again for the footage it's so entertaining.
Is the project still going? The updates are sledom, I hope that you don't have to give up on it. The times are tough tho, prices are through the roof, so I can understand that you probably don't have a lot of content. The car is so cool. I've been wanting an SLC for years but I don't have a spare $150k yet. I was thinking putting in the BMW's S85 V10, from the E60 M5 in there, basically a road going F1 engine, sounds incredible. But the 5 rotor is intriguing too, especially with power to ratio that's higher than 1, it will be a beast.
Mark my words this project will be known, respected, and praised world wide when it's completed.
I'm surprised an automotive company hasn't swooped him, everything he touches is nothing short of perfection.
he just needs to make sure to get a proper microphone to make the videos more enjoyable.

I’m sure he is. It’s a huge project an it’s all custom built
i looked up his IG and it seems to be going well so far :D unlucky there is no videos uploaded these last months

Should sound something like a race v10

Still enthusiastic, and waiting for the next video 👍
It's crazy that you're basically building a homemade 787. I wish you nothing but success! I'm almost at the point of starting my own 4 rotor endeavor.
Cage is awesome. We need an update for 2023!!!
I love this that this is his main build compared to other channels that take on too many side builds
Rob Dahm is still working on the 4 rotor, yours is perfected and now moving on to this whoa!
Literally doing what I’ve wanted to do for years but never had the money. So excited to see this build.
Anxiously waited last 5 months for your update video! I bet my excitement for the project is incomparable to yours. Good luck, my friend.

This is 100% correct. Chromoly chassis made with thinner wall tubes will have more flex and compliance but will match the strength.

Looks like an IMSA GT Car 🏎🔥🔥🔥🔥Awesome fabrication and vlog content.
Same, like the prototype mid-engine Corvette, plus the prototype rotory engine
Im actually dying to hear the sound of a 5 rotor!!! Why ahas anyone tought about this before?!?!?! Hella nice project keep it up and pleeease release some engine content for us to enjoy a lil 🙏🙏🤤

Amazing looking build! 1000 HP plus to all four wheels with that chassis and suspension ect. should be insane..

I was actually waiting for literal years for anyone to finally build a 5 rotor. I can't wait to hear it start!
Can't wait to see the finished product my dude! Keep up the awesome work! I'm Excited!
Great video, but you should invest in an external microphone that you hear on your shirt.
How is it going? I haven't Heard anything from you since like ever... Id love to know whats up... Hopefully ill be abke to see you some time soon.
This thing came to eat all of the other rotary builds. I want this thing to be done faster out of selfishness but you can't rush perfection. David you're a beast. Keep doing what you are doing.

This build is pretty cool can't wait to see it going around a track
Can't wait to ear this monster, absolute incredible, congrats!!
It's a shame the SLC hasn't a bit wider cabin so that you could do an AWD conversion. That would have been interesting to see.
really enjoyed this update. This is going to be one cool car. thanks for the share
Future LEGEND
Ohh man I keep coming back to visit the channel to see if there's a new video uploaded. Very looking forward
Can't wait to see this build when it's done. Wow😁👏🏼👏🏼
One thing we’ve learned about David over the years is that this thing will be insane and built to a factory finish, so excited to watch it develop 👊
