BRAP BRAP BRAP BRAP BRAP

Anyone who says rotaries aren't reliable needs to watch this. This car has undoubtedly been through so much abuse for years, making 500 hp, and it's still holding together. Some basic preventative maintenance, good tuning, and an understanding of how rotary engines need to be driven, and they can be very reliable. They love being driven hard too!

As a memorial car this thing is so sick. Made to just rip to remind him of his times with his brother. You know everytime he rips this his bros smiling. I love everything about this burnout box ❤

I like when the owner is included for interviews and sharing the background on the car and why they chose to mod it the way they did

This FB is wild, somthing you’d see in the front of a Walmart in parking lot, hitting the kerbs, and you watch in horror. Thinking “oh that poor thing” But as soon as it leaves. The Rotary screaming, breathing flames like a dragon. Doing a full burnout. You have instantly fallen in love with.

One of my favorite videos on yt is Michael's video showing this car off several years ago. always go back every once in a while to watch it. Love that you're covering it now :)

As a first gen owner and lover, favorite video in a while, shoutout Vargas brothers for being the coolest rotary builders

Your brother is probably smiling with ya every time you pull down the road. Well done

this is by far my fav video to date rn i love the enthusiasm i know Angel the brother had so many good conversations with him and seeing his build are always extremely cool respect to the Vargas brother for such commitment and amazing inspiring builds for the rotary community🤟

Man, these videos make me want to build a bulletproof rotary so bad. I love my 8 but i want it to be daily driven as much as possible but i need something to wrench on and learn. This car is so cool! Thanks for the video David, this rotary guy appreciates it a lot my coworkers think im insane for loving them so much. Then i hear it. "worth" 😂

Everyone forgets how good Mazda builds its cars. Very reliable

This has got to be your best video yet. I loved the story behind the car and how hard it rips!!

I am this guy’s neighbor and can in fact, confirm, that it’s my worst nightmare.

I'll always be a Rotary fan boy and no one will convince me otherwise

Makes me miss my street ported FC. Had a lot of fun in that car.

Always love to see more rotary content, and it's a first gen to boot. Great stuff. Now I just need a bigger turbo on the 12AT....

Hey! I went to high school with the Vargas brothers. John, Mike, and Chris (RIP). 💪🏽 💪🏽 💪🏽

Your brother continues to ride with you, that engine, proves it, bless the mess, keep rolling

As a first gen owner i love seeing this. this is goals. i have two rotaries here in NYC. id love to get the chance to meet you and hopefully do a review of my bridgeported rx7

RIP headphone users for the entire video. Lol

You should branch out into your own media company. “That Media” if you will. You could have other people cover car events at different parts of the country. Just a thought.

This is just a testament to how good and bulletproof the Vargas rotary builds are

If us Patterson's had to vote on who's done/doing the coolest stuff, I'd definitely vote your way bud Love these videos. Much respect

Mad respect for the rotaries. We love em here in Oz. Just goes to show you how string car culture is. Buying and selling the cars and engine, and here we are. Good on ya!

In love with this build, thing is gnarly both in appearance and performance 🤘

Oh man mikes cars are sick! You've gotta review the REPU!!!! The flames are even more insane!!!

This is art, and a story to give one all the feels… this is one spicy nacho dorito !

as an Aussie its nice to see people from America that can actually throw a car around

“With US only customer service.” You’re really speaking to the middle aged white man in me with that one.😭

Before watching I knew it had to be one of the Vargas boys, loved John's blue FB RX7 on Hoonigan's Daily Transmission 159! Love both of their rat rod-ish, street fighter vibes ;)

I can still see the beauty on the way it looks ❤

the thing about rotary's once you start a fresh rotary on race day and are prepped for race on line. it won't shut off till the race is done. it may not start up again after the race till a rebuild but it WILL NOT DIE DURING the race. rotary's are insane one of the best engines for endurance races to date. want a high revving car thats great to throw around corners at events like le'mans RX-7 damn near indestructible engines once running.

Both of my neighbors are car guys with loud trucks so I’ve always been comfortable with my loud cars and bikes

That spot under the bridge is so blown out now :(

I used to watch clips of this car on his channel from years ago after seeing him on hoonigan crazy this cars still ripping

Watched this car for years, and never get sick of it🤙🏾🤙🏾

"Baby Got Brap!" -T Pain

Shoulda known it was the Vargas brothers 🤣 they know how to party

quick question: have you done a video in a single cam honda? if not you should, i think a video driving a built d series with a big turbo would be awesome

Rode on this care quite a few times in its original form. Miss the rotary scene in VA

Wait one of the Vargas brothers passed away

Hellz yeah ... if i see mike or john im watching as they are the kings of rotory and r.i.p. to chris .... mad rad builds and lo e the hood dump .. i daily one 😅

Love the Vargas bros think they deserved a better review then tho tbh

rotary brothers...respect

idc who doesn't like it but these are the actual voolest builds, reliably beat memorial cars

Owning a Rotory makes every piston engine car child’s play!!!😂

Man I had no idea John had passed.. I’m sorry for your loss Michael

What an absolute menace 😂 I love this man

Smokes like an N54 with 19T's💀💨💨

Surgeon General's Advisories comes free with this rx7

Engines are living breathing entities, change my mind

What a amazing tribute car 👏💪😇😉👍

My neighbor has a 1995 FD he goes to work at 5:15am it’s straight piped 🫣

Wish I could have a pos turbo rx7 to rip around in

I wish you could make 100 videos on the batgas bros cars, I love rotary’s

Anybody else noticed the windshield flexing in- and outwards when he was driving on the highway?! You can see it moving on the camera @8:42 for example.

I sold my 83 FB GSL a month ago and I honestly miss it, I bought it for my 18th bday 3 years ago and it was fun until the 12A went out

That's such a awesome car, with an awesome story, wish the video was longer lol😅.

Im definitely on board with whatever that rx7 owner is on

Loved this episode!

His dad bought all his sons rx7s now that's gangster

Hey my mum had one of those when we were kids we had a savanna i have fond memories of riding in the trunk ( by choice) and looking iut the curved back windscreen

Love these rx7s I will find one

That is one abused 13b and i love it. 👌

Another banger video …and car

Long time no see Michael!!! Hows john? Glad to see the little bastards still going

When i lived in Chicago in the early 2000s i knew a guy who had an FC that was similar to this. 😂😂 It was set up soo stiff. I thought id lose the change in my pockets every time i rode in it.

Its just so obnoxious and im ok with that.

Yo, I give y'all all the respect for doing that kind of driving in VA Beach Area..Y'all Brave...👍🏽🏁

This thing is awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nice SA/FB build.

Imagine that thing during new year

I watched this in action at Cletus and cars Indy two years ago

Another fun day at work.😂

Sketchier than a back alley pharmaceutical deal

Rotary power 💪

Rx7s are so cool

Bring back the Mazda Cosmo 110S

This is the first car I've seen that looks like it has the same stiff suspension my Subaru used to have. That shit was crazy tight and you could basically take any corner as fast as you wanted but goddamn it was like someone was punching you in the back every time you went over a bump 😂

that dude had a cool ass dad

Two✌️up! Two✌️down! Va.keep doing what y'all doing👍🙏🏽

Wait, did you use a feature to test different thumbnails by chance, David?

LOVE this :D

First really fast car i was ever in was an 83 rx7 540hp i knew when my dads friend handed me a helmet i was in for it

We want more!

Round n round is better than up n down. You should check the Kiwis, they do rotors! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🍻🤙🏽🇦🇺

And people say rotary’s ain’t reliable 😂

Nothing like a Rotary lol unique in all ways very fun to drive 💯👍👍👍

9 minutes 30 seconds in anyone else hear him turn into Morty.... 😂

How does this live in my area and never seen it a day in my life sadly.

Love everything about it..

Can this video be shown to all the people with basically stock, higher trim, econo-boxes who say they have "the most noticeable car in town"?

Hope no parts of the turbo hets inside the engine you can always get another turbo but engines might be harder to get.

MAZDA FOR LIFE

I didn't even know one of the Vargas brothers died. 😕

I thought that was mold but n the hood but its smoke

I feel like you got oil residue on the camera lense 😂

Baby Got Brap!!!!

Anyone knows the name and specs of the wheels ? Love em
