Talk about driving up prices- ridiculous laws allowing the US to import RHD vehicles after a certain age. Those vehicles are now out of most peoples reach in the countries that have them and should be using them, legally and realistically. Low volume importing for collectors is fine, but now it’s 300+ million ‘Muricans instantly a JDM fanboi and Japan can see ya coming from a mile off and $$$$. At least we paved the way regarding Rotary development and the RB/Skyline GTR tuning scene. 🇦🇺 😂😂

the 80's were the era of very rapid acceleration in the car domain. Early 80's to late 80's saw rapid improvements and early 90's still gave fruits. Music too was rad.

this is how I feel about the 200sx I sold

@@keponen331 to be fair a lot of JDM or JEM cars made from like 1975 to 2005 manage to inspire this feeling in people. I still keep kicking myself for letting go of my uncles Z31 200ZR. It's been a decade since I was forced to sell it

@@JUDGExNOCTURNAL it's not that they don't get it anymore. It's a mix of regulation, their own lack of truly understanding it and then all of that just compounded by the lack of understanding within the enthusiast community too. It's what gave us the new 86. It's a good car, but in comparison to an ae86 it is a failure in understanding. What truly made the AE86 the legend it became wasn't a prebuilt aftermarket, nor just a good chassis, in fact even when it came out the AE86 chassis was far from state of the art. It wasn't a budget sports car, nor was it truly meant to be that. It was an affordable sporty trim for an econobox for families that just so happen to have decent driving characteristics. Racing teams and enthusiasts only really embraced it after its initial success in Japanese Motorsport. Those of us who owned one fell in love with them regardless of all of that for what the car was. The new one is pandering exclusively towards the enthusiast, forgetting that the original didn't need to do that to attain legendary status.

Same with old BMW

@@mateuszgainski3027 in a way, yeah, a few euro cars managed it as well.

Honestly it's not the worst engine out there, but compared to a well built and maintained old 13B, it just doesn't measure up.

Mine has 170k miles on the original engine. Anything lasts if it's taken care of

The only problem with the RX-8 is... Mazda went from a Turbocharged engine to a N/A engine

@@GTMaverick23 nah, that wasn't the issue. The issue was they struggled to meet exhaust regulations through use of the se tech as a conventional Otto engine. The rotary may be an IC Engine but it's not quite the same as a regular Otto inline or V. It needs a different approach to make it more eco friendly.

@@GTMaverick23 there are issues turbocharging it actually. I don't remember exactly but I know it's because the exhaust is a sideport, back pressure from the turbo causes even more problems than normal. Essentially gonna break your apex seals even faster. That's why most renesis tunes just go for fuel injection tuning and keep it na.

Still regret letting go of it and wish you could have it back as a car for just you?

Its still gravity, aero, centrifical forces and you can still enjoy it. Hopefully you got a good wagon. They're out there!

Until it starts to break down

That's awesome

@@bored9145 honestly, they are fairly simple engines and decently reliable once you do your research, especially because of how compact they are which means that you can pull out an engine way easier and make it easier to fix

@@s277garage6 I need to study rotary engines

@@bored9145 thats why it is a very good car, if you are a true car guy then you will try to fix its issue and enjoy the whole learning process, not only you will learn a lot about cars by buying car like this but also enjoy a lot so its a win win solution and in the end you will be a smarter petrol head just like rob dahm

100!

Yeah man, a mini lighter, japanese viper

Thanks for watching!

@@IdealMediaChannel Thanks for making it.

You had us in the first half ngl

@@hisheeelijah1482 lol 😂

I also got all 3 gens of Rx7 as hot wheels, also have the Rx3. But the dream is to once own the real deal

Only have the FC rx7 and a rx3 atm but plan of expanding it, still searching because they're quite hard to come by

@@kingsgarage938 i got my fd hw from Aliexpress

IYKYK

The first rotary engine came in a production car in 1967 from Mazda. I'm sure your car was great, but not one of the first rotary powered cars from Mazda by a few decades

Its doable.. there's some k swap done on KZfaq if I'm not mistaken

Why imagine when it’s already been done

When my father tested drive my fc,no turbo 2 ,but sunroof electrical, some guys stop by on a r3,mod I don't know that my pops beat the car right away u feel like in a airplane stuck &when we home says we need to check cause after 100mph110,d steer shake a little bit 😅

real talk

Straight up man

Yea this guy .... needs to research befors spitting out bs
