I love that about Florida! Cuz race cars are legal in there lol. It just needs to run and have lights. Big car shows are amazing there! You'll see promods with tags on them.
im a kiwi, and we LOVE our rotaries. cant get enough of em. all i know is they sound amazing, are light and very powerful. and they sound amazing. really amazing. awesomely amazing.
This is the first time I'm actually seeing him talk about it this way.god,what an insane amount of work in this car.he puts a new meaning to the phrase "built,not bought"
This is up there with my favourite videos of the hoonigans! I really liked its format. The little eductational part, sweet rotary roadtrip footage, collab with a channel i like. Everything was great!
favorite thing about hoonigan: not only do they have the best tire blowing content, but for all you Audio Bois out there... y’all know how hard the beats kick on good speakers 👀
yeh, that is a big rotary engine that they designed, pity that they didn't contunue with the developement, big doritoz in that bad boy, you don't buy a rotary for the fuel economy anyways, you buy one for the braps & kickin' some butt on the street hey :)
It's almost 10 liters? I thought it was standard 13B sized rotors which would only be 7.8 liters. Also, it is 4 standard 13B sized rotors I checked. so it comes out to a "Mazda 2.6L" which actually has 7.8 liters of displacement
Hell Yeah New Zealand built! New Zealand represent! We are home to JDM goodies majority havent even heard of! Ya'll sleepin on NZ, need to come visit and see what we have to offer @Hoonigan!
Thank you for posting more rotary stuff. Rx7's are the first real community I ever really enjoyed, and that is after coming from VW, and 240sx clubs. put barely any miles on my FC this year :(
They may not still produce them but believe it or not they are still researching and developing them. Every now and then they'll file new patents for rotary design

Been following Robs channel for soooo long. Legend. Can’t wait for this beast to be unleashed. As he said, he’s doing it right, which means time is not taken into consideration :) One question, when does a car stop being the car if left the factory as? For example, this is like a funny car, complete new car underneath but the shell of a regular car
I live in New Zealand and I know some crazy rotary builders but John is a smart man when it comes to rotarys id say he’s definitely up there with nz rotary builders if not better than some of them

Good to see kiwis getting the recognition they deserve for building the best rotarys . They left the world behind when they built the ppre 6b .if you haven't seen it you need to look it up it was the 1st ever 6 rotor

Rob talking about the fenders and hood and me already knowing they're gonna blow off on the first drag run down the track against the Hoonicorn. That has to suck, but of all the things to break off, thats probably the best option. And he needed to redo them anyways.
I'm an unapologetic LS fanboi, and I think the RX chassis is awesome. The idea of LS swapped RX7s fills me with glee. A rotary Vette is just the karmic inverse. (Carmic inverse?) I don't even understand how it could upset anyone. I think a 3 rotor C5 would be pretty cool. Maybe even a 3 rotor C4 vettekart, (with the silly rolling headlights maintained.)

What will happen first: Hert building a 4 Rotor or Scotto finishing the Nova?
Hoonigan we’ll die before either of those happen
We will establish a colony on Mars before Scotto ever touches the Napalm

The likelihood of hurt finishing the project is the same as him not breaking builds haha
