AutotopiaLA LS swaps are go to resorts in today’s motorsports especially in drifting for instant torque but It’s nice seeing an rx7 with its original 1.3L engine
I’ve always loved those since high school when they came out. Something about the smooth lines and the turbo wars that were happening at the time with Z’s and Supras. One of each please! Great ride and passion for the hp. Thank you for not mentioning price. Who cares anyway, that thing can rip tires for half a block! Don’t appease these guys with the price of everything. If you have to ask well....
Awesomeness. Me and a guy I know bought couple 1st gens. We field rallied them. Rubbn Racing. We had blast. Had 150 in each car. They ruff any ways. Little rotory turn some huge rpm.
easily my favorite car channel, great quality, awesome builds with a little bit of everything. I’ve been sharing your content with my friends. Keep it up!
Thanks Joe!! I appreciate. Trying hard to become one of the bigger and better car channels out there. Long ways to go but working on it. Thanks for the support I truly appreciate it!!
Wow thanks for the review of this beast, not so common to see them around, but when you do see a nice modified rx7 around it's like seeing something out of this world.
It was very nice to see another type of custom car here! I think that what always must stand out is the quality of the build. And this RX7 is very cool. But since I saw a Nissan GT-R with 1000+hp explode it’s left rear brake disc and flip over at the end of a half mile pull event here In Brazil, I always pay attention to that necessary upgrade.
How do people replace a rotary with a boring LS I do not know. Rotaries just sound too damn good and how the power pulls you feels so weird and awesome
Interestingly I heard "This is definitely a 700HP car. You can feel it." when it sounded like 350 - 400HP. Shortly after they discuss the boost and traction control, wind the boost up and fish it down the road saying "So that's what it's like with the boost dialed up." 🤔
AutotopiaLA I didn't doubt the capability of the motor. I've seen the descriptive video by the builders. I simply pointed out that it wasn't running the 725hp when it was bum dyno'd. This is an amazing car. The engineering and fabrication is mind boggling. One of the most unique builds I have seen.
Nice video, good review and one badass build. I am a rotard and own a fd with 425 rwhp with no traction control. I spin the tires on second gear rolls. I believe with the setup of the fd reviewed 700whp is very believable. I am sure traction control, good sticky tires and boost by gear can make this happen. John I am with you I love all perfomance cars and I also own a muscle car. Your diversity has motivated me to subscribe to your channel.
Didn't realize til now that the motor is from rotary shack, I wonder how much jerky is in this engine?🤔 *Also makes sense why it took 14 years to build👀👀👀
Wow that thing sounds freakin rotarded 😉😉 I'm not really a tuner fan but that's a really nice build, super freakin clean especially the engine bay... and you can see the guys passion for his build I respect that 100% keep up the great content Sean!!
Plastoids yeah. I’ve been to his place a bunch with client cars going on the show. He’s only been over once to our garage but understandable as he’s got 100,000 square feet of cars and bikes and I’ve only got 8200 feet of cars and bikes. He’s the coolest!
Turbo technology and engine management has come a long way. Making it possible for a rotary to make big power and torque. In the past you had to run a monster turbo just to make the power that then killed low end torque. Not anymore
All of the vehicles you mentioned (no R35 unfortunately) are client vehicles. A good portion of my time and passion is really around pro touring/resto mods. Sorry I wasn’t more clear as I walk around my shop full of all varieties.
Thanks Michael. Hard to tell anymore who is being playful and who’s being a jack ass😬 I appreciate you clarifying and feel free to fuck with me anytime 😂😂
sup my dude i just saw the spot on ur face my grandma had the same and it was a good form of cancer but still had to be removed could be jsut dirt but looks the same just sayin
JoeAmerica1911 dyno's always read different. I'm telling you I've been to car events and seen fd's with 350-600+HP pulls and with even 600 how aggressive they pull and how long it takes to get it to hook up this doesn't look like that much. Unless he's not using full throttle I don't know.
@@AutotopiaLA ... You could say the same about wheels that aren't multiple thousands of dollars per set I'm wondering why everyone is drooling over them . The price just doesn't seem justifiable to me..
This guy knows cars well. Worked on a race team. Understands well and he has a passion for rotary’s. Not your thing? No problem. But I assure you his choice isn’t for lack of funds it’s his passion.
yay, no LS motor in sight.....
Nope
Missed opportunity to build a good car.

One of the cleanest rx7s ive seen
Agreed. The work is incredible on this one.

Great comment! I love what John did with the car. And 14 years of build is patience I can’t understand.

Rodcodnito 00 this is my first time in a built RX7. Love the 9K redline!
Love the way this RX7 is put together. Legitimate heavy horsepower ....
Agreed!
Always loved the rotary engine, nice build. Congratulations.
I’ve had no real experience with them and this one obviously blew me away!
Having ridden in one of those tuned before, they are serious. Love them
FD RX-7's are so sick
That’s a great tuner car. Absolutely in love
Ross Lynn yeah Ross, it’s a cool build. So much time and passion put into it.
Awesome work man! One of top 10 favs cars.
He built such a cool car. Blown away by the power and the taste.
Love the vids the quality of your videos is amazing you deserve a lot more subscribers
Iddizy thanks and we’re working on it. Hoping to see it grow into one of the bigger/better car channels out there.
AutotopiaLA shouldn’t take much you are pretty much there
Super clean! On this particular car I like the lenses better than I would pop up headlights

Beautiful! Rotary rules - there is nothing like a rotary that loves to rev, and rev ....and rev some more. Awesome! Thank you.
You’re welcome and believe me I had a blast shooting this and learning about rotary’s and how much power can be made.
Wow thanks for the review of this beast, not so common to see them around, but when you do see a nice modified rx7 around it's like seeing something out of this world.
Cool, you have just motivated me to get back in the garage and get my sh!+ in gear. Rx7 rule and 911 turbos of course😆
love the layout of this vid. perfect and awesome ride.
Thanks and yeah, killer build they did with this one
A fucking monster of a tuner! Great job for bringing this Shawn.
what a car!Friend had one with a 1jz.His uncle slammed it into a pole.How his legs didnt break credit goes to the tough body!

Totally agree
Im a muscle car guy but you gotta love this . always wanted one after i seen doms in The fast and the furious
Same for me and this one sold me hard!
Go the rotors... cant wait for my 20b in my fd great work guys
They really did a great job building this
Shawn, thanks for also getting into these cool cars. Really like these videos.
Thanks for watching. We try showing vehicles that we think are cool and creative builds. This one is a badass!
Beautiful FD, love it and a great video.
He killed it on this!! Glad you enjoyed it. What a beast!!
Loving all the content don't stop
PJ Adamson thanks and I promise I won’t stop. So many cool cars to show.
AutotopiaLA look forward to seeing them all..
How do people replace a rotary with a boring LS I do not know. Rotaries just sound too damn good and how the power pulls you feels so weird and awesome
I mean this car is so on point!
This is epic.... completely loved it
Gan JD awesome! I had a blast learning about and going for a ride in this beast of a tuner!
You almost had ME? You never had me, you never had your car...
👊
That thing is movin! Very cool car and done right
Bizzle B yes and yes!!
My favourite rx7!
You being honest in not well versed in Japanese 4 wheels is what l really like,enjoy,respect and appreciate😘
I just say it as it is. And I love learning about vehicles I’m not well versed in. Thanks for the compliment
That's what dreams are made of!!! *Prays to the car gods for a dream to come true*
Jae kamacho and I love that it was a passion project for 14 years. So cool!
What a monster. That is one of my dream cars
Nick Twaddell total monster and I love the way it was built. 14 years of Wednesday’s!
Interestingly I heard "This is definitely a 700HP car. You can feel it." when it sounded like 350 - 400HP. Shortly after they discuss the boost and traction control, wind the boost up and fish it down the road saying "So that's what it's like with the boost dialed up." 🤔
Far from 350-400. He had the dyno chart on his phone and it was 700 hp. Don’t have to believe it but it’s truth.

Awesome ride for sure and sounds great as well!😎👌👍
All that fab work is top notch
That rx7 is a beast
That rx7 is stupid clean 😍
That’s a badass car
Agreed. And the patience it took over 14 years blows me away!!
Oh yeah, little monster💯
Total monster!
Crazy torque numbers from such a small engine. Sure does rip hard.
10 thumps up for Robert & his RotaryShack ! ;)
Would love to see more tuner videos! 🫶🏼
I’m in love!!
Oh it’s a good one. Really good!
Freakin' nice!

@@AutotopiaLA 2012 challenger srt8 6sp
Nice one 👍
Thank you. The rx7 is a fun toy but the challenger is a great daily driver. I love both of them.
The 911 Cameo though! 🤗
Very clean, Wish he kept the pop ups
This is such a cool RX7! Love the touches, choices and that he built it over a period of years. And it drives hard!
Just sick.. Good review.. Nice to see it moving.. 👍🏁
Mike Giles thanks and I agree! John built a serious badass here!!
Dream car with a 3 rotor thoXD
Seth Mckenzie 3 rotor RX-7s are total BEASTS!!
Seth Mckenzie I had no idea rotary’s could do this. Wow!
4* rotor
I’m not going to lie from the thumbnail I thought this was a much more modern sports car because I didn’t look at the RE Amemiya headlights closer.
It’s such a great looking RX7 and the power is undeniable.
That Braplife Sun!!!!! 🙏
Nice... Time and Dedication..
No doubt. 14 years of Wednesday’s. Can’t imagine that kind of patience.
I love that there's an r32 in that shop
That maza rx7 is a beast
Awesome car!
Completely agree and the patience of 14 years!!
Didn't realize til now that the motor is from rotary shack, I wonder how much jerky is in this engine?🤔
*Also makes sense why it took 14 years to build👀👀👀
Nice!!! But everytime i see a fd rx7 i always think that a big wing belongs on it
Wing or no wing this car blew me away! Wasn’t expecting that kind of torque at all. Really impressive car!
That's badass
Total badass!!
lol i thought you was yanking my chain! sexy fd!
Nope! This thing is so cool. Watching it on Hoonigan right now. Killer episode!
Wow that thing sounds freakin rotarded 😉😉 I'm not really a tuner fan but that's a really nice build, super freakin clean especially the engine bay... and you can see the guys passion for his build I respect that 100% keep up the great content Sean!!
I’m with you. Blown away by the passion and detail in this car.
Amazing car. Your garage and Jay Leno’s are very close to each other, ever check out each other’s car collection?
Plastoids yeah. I’ve been to his place a bunch with client cars going on the show. He’s only been over once to our garage but understandable as he’s got 100,000 square feet of cars and bikes and I’ve only got 8200 feet of cars and bikes. He’s the coolest!
A rotary with 600 plus foot pounds?!?! Thats INSANITY!! Most rotarys do NOT make ANY torque....that car has to be a BLAST to drive!!
1216jimmyz I didn’t drive it but it was a blast to ride in. Didn’t know you could get that kind of torque out of a little rotary. Totally blown away!!
jimmyz, they do make torque just not at low rpm.
You know nothing about rotaries if you think they dont make torque turbocharged
Thomas Shepherd I really don’t know anything about rotaries and that’s why I said I was blown away by the torque.
bad ass car
Rene Fuentes it really is. Next time I wanna get in the drivers seat.
You need to get us a super E46 m3,please. Or e9x or F80 👌 But principally a e46 🙌🙌
I’ve got a few radical BMW’s lined up to shoot soon. One is an E46 and one is an M Coupe making 800hp at the wheels.
Not sure about getting hard pulls in the passenger seat..lol.. great video as usual though.
Scott 70 😂😂😂 And I trusted his driving right away. He gets it completely.
Do more tuners man!!
black beauty
Brap life
Why's he got a RHD cage?
700 hp from a 1.3 liter....
Right?! And the torque is staggering. 600 ft lbs!!
Turbo technology and engine management has come a long way. Making it possible for a rotary to make big power and torque. In the past you had to run a monster turbo just to make the power that then killed low end torque. Not anymore
Love long term ownership car stories. Built rotary cars are fire breathers
Nasty....:]
why modify the exterior when the stock original is so beautiful!
Rotatif motor 😎😎😎😎
Wow
I said that a lot about this one 👊
Ya need to find an EVO
I’d love to shoot a sick EVO!
So why Montana ?
"We mostly deal with muscle cars" *walks around the car with R35, R34, 2F82s, 911, and Supra mk4 in the background*
All of the vehicles you mentioned (no R35 unfortunately) are client vehicles. A good portion of my time and passion is really around pro touring/resto mods. Sorry I wasn’t more clear as I walk around my shop full of all varieties.
AutotopiaLA just making a joke. Love the diversity. Love your videos man!
Thanks Michael. Hard to tell anymore who is being playful and who’s being a jack ass😬 I appreciate you clarifying and feel free to fuck with me anytime 😂😂
Don't forget its 1.3 ltr
Sobre et efficace.
sup my dude i just saw the spot on ur face my grandma had the same and it was a good form of cancer but still had to be removed could be jsut dirt but looks the same just sayin
👍
Not sure if I believe that's 700 atw. Anything over 400 the fds struggle to put it down. Still nice tho.
JoeAmerica1911 dyno's always read different. I'm telling you I've been to car events and seen fd's with 350-600+HP pulls and with even 600 how aggressive they pull and how long it takes to get it to hook up this doesn't look like that much. Unless he's not using full throttle I don't know.
Love the dialog here guys!! I didn’t see the dyno chart but the pull is more than 300-400 for sure. The torque on this was what impressed me most.
He has traction control
one mean rx 7
Seriously!!
@@AutotopiaLA no wonder rx 7 s13 s15 still base even for track cars. what a great formula. light small low fast
Only thing better than a 95 FD is a 2002
Why are hres so special?
They’re great looking wheels and perform
@@AutotopiaLA ... You could say the same about wheels that aren't multiple thousands of dollars per set I'm wondering why everyone is drooling over them . The price just doesn't seem justifiable to me..
Understood. If they were an unknown wheel company it might be different pricing.
I want
You and me both. Such a cool build they did on this rotary
Drive in a 4 rotor 1000hp car
Can’t even imagine how intense that would be
😁😁👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🔥
Turbo 6 👊😎
Haaa rx7 is one cars the fast and furious 1 the vin diesel is cars colors rouge yes is verie good cars
Find a 67-68 stang and do a review
Yes!!
+
Yeah, it’s badass!
More meat in the back and let it rip..
This thing is a beast!
Rotary engines are the most outdated crap ever and only people who can't afford high quality bmw's drive rx7. Plastic bag cars.
JoeAmerica1911 shut the fuck up ricer. Nobody likes mazda anyway and you're trash.

Melina Chenkova u kidding kid my friend has a rx3 with 200k spent that will eat any lambo or Supercars
its fine mate, I still liked the video.
Thanks for saying that. We all get our opinions in this great car world!!
Pretty sweeet!!!!!!
