    Never owned a rotary never been interested in owning one but my.godthis car changes your mind. I truely believe this is the best tastefully done modified car of all time. The owner should be working for a car company designing cars. I own a vl turbo with slightly more power and for once can say I don't care about hp or 1/4 mile times. The workmanship on this car interior and exterior wise is just unbelievable and the color is simply fantastic. This car is not overly in your face just so tastefully done like when you seee a Ferrari it is just perfect. true credit to owner seems to have a good attitude and down to earth, well done on success u deserve it well done

      Spot on. All eyes would be on this parked next to a 488 or Aventador. Maybe not a Bugatti but thats besides the point (!) this guy made it happen and this result raises the bar for all.

    The Simmons and the tubbing, interior isn't my cup of tea, but I must say WOW the quality, fit and finish of this car is superb. I take my hat off to the guy's who built it and it's great that he's achieved the success he hoped for and his family are proud of him and support him. Well done.

    nice one. great vid. love John's attitude and the props he gives to those that helped him build this car. to have gone to this level of effort and to go for the big awards with an rx took some balls and self belief. love it.

    My old man took me for 5 flying laps around the Phillip Island race track in a monster ported 13B like this. In the early 80s before it became a regular track for supercars, etc... .

    In 1998 I acquired a 73 rx3 4 bbl 13b for a load of gravel for this widowed woman's driveway, and to make her ol tractor run again. It had a tank of old fuel and I never started it. It ended up going to Fort Leonard ,Mo. I hope someday it will be seen TH-cam too !!! Hello???
