  • For almost 50 years, RE Amemiya has been developing some of the most famous engines, body kits race cars, all with the one consistent factor - the rotary. In this episode, we check out their lesser known Tokyo Workshop, where Amemiya-san himself still works on cars to this day.

    This man right here, Isami Amemiya, is beyond legendary. V-Opt recently ran an interview with him and it is fascinating.
    Starting out poor but rich in his passion, this man has dedicated his entire life to the tuning industry and had perfected his craft on rotaries to the highest level anyone can only dream of reaching.
    Amazing to see him still putting in the hard work despite being in his 70s, passion and dedication surpasses everything.
    As long as rotaries exist, there will always be one RE Amemiya.

    One of the things that I really loved from this video and the one from Mine's is the workshop's atmosphere: the "controlled mess", shelves full of parts everywhere... really interesting! Thanks for sharing, I really enjoy these tours around those iconic workshops

    Hell yea finally a detailed review of RE Amemiya. Sometimes if feels like yhe younger car guys dont know about these legends. From his wangan/ highway car to his JGTC car. Now to finish the video because I stopped 10 seconds in to like and comment lol.

    Wild shop. Its on my bucket list to visit for sure, i have seen first hand of a supposed genuine ex Tokyo Auto Salon RE Amemiya FC3S. It had a fully built interior, big single turbo, full RE body kit with a cracked front bumper, RE parts throughout, its red & sexy, i want to save it, its just sitting & rotting in a barn in northern Ontario Canada, guy wont sell it even when i offered a ridiculous price. if i could find a picture of it sitting in the tokyo auto salons show floor or something i would love to show the owner. I still hope he calls & says its for sale but so far not yet

    As a retired technician I enjoy the shop tours, never worked on a rotary. I do remember in 1970 a soldier in the Canadian army brought over a NSU wankel, man there was oil all over the place, nobody wanted to work on it.

It looks like they are still very relevant today. I really like the human approach to motoring you provide in your videos. Keep living the dream.

    I love rotary cars, but have 0 experience with them(and in a sense, not knowing how to maintain/upkeep one scares me as I tend to be a hands on type). Back before the market exploded, I had an opportunity to get my hands on a anniversary model FC(but that was also back in my student days, before I even got my first job, so naturally, no money to throw at one), and while I still rue not making a point of closing on that chance, I likely would've just ruined a perfectly good car with collectable value...
