Ahhhh, the sound of rotary, my ear is blessed

A bridgeported rotary is probably the best sound in the world.

@@ZacBaldy should use the 8 display on the FC commander. Pay attention to injector duty cycle and ignition timing splits (leading and trailing), also coolant temp lol. IAT a good one to watch as well, unless you have meth injection. If IAT too hot you run risk of air fuel igniting on it's own which is real bad.

Don't overthink driving it, I have had my RE Capella for a few years now (using omp) and drive it like any other car, apart from giving it the odd squirt and letting it warm up nicely. Through the years (think mid '90s) I have had mates with various styles of rotaries and they were never fussy about how they drove them. They mostly had the same issue/s, broken gearbox, diff or axles, never engine issues. Back then of course, those were cheap to replace.

Bro you need the spoiler to finish the initial D look !

I read somewhere that the lining of the rotor housings are porous, thus retaining quite a bit of oil when you're not directly injecting it via. pre-mixed fuel or the OMP. ... I daily an 8 and have owned an FD for quite a few years, always engine braked without issues. /shrug

would you recommend premixing even when you have an omp

@@Burchie_ 100%, .5 oz per gallon if I'm rocking an OMP. Extra lubrication, some factory OMPs suck (s1 RX8) plus you can't easily tell if it's not functioning until it's too late, might save you an engine.

Great to see rotars still on the road. My first car was an RX4 J-Port. Keep it it up mate

Havent watched zab baldy in probably 6-8months and he's changed a lot. Has a rx7 and isn't as shy and quiet as before its a good change.

Good on ya Zacster , all the hard work is done , now it’s time to get out on the roads this winter and enjoy the yourself .

Loved this style of vid man! Need more like it!!

Haven't watched the channel in awhile. It's great to see it running so well mate, congrats 👍 definitely do more of these POV vids, maybe do a run up the coast and open her up abit 🤙

Would love more of these POV videos, really enjoy them🔥

Ur right about us Subaru drivers we show love to each other when passing by little waves are enough to put a smile on most drivers

That car is GORGEOUS

The car sounds so nice.

this is my meditation music

Sounds so good!

This makes me miss my fd…. Awesome ride!

Dude I would love to see this RX-7 beast in person honestly looks amazing, is my dream car as well. Have lots questions about the car would be dope to go for a cruise with u. Live in griffin saw u legit drive past my house. Anyways good vid bud keep up the content

Yes engine braking is fine. DRIVE it like a normal car. Had rotaries for 30yr.. still race one today.

Love the updates on the RX7 and thecolor choice is spot on Zac, well done 👍

When i first watched this video i thought cruising near Brisbane City. Then it turns out you literally drove 4 mins near to where i live hahaha near costco. i subbed for sure!

Oh and subbed mate, happy to support a fellow Queenslander!

in love with this car 😍

綺麗でいい音してる、やっぱりロータリーは最高や

Love it man, there's a few fds in town here they seem to drive pretty normal hope this helps

the fd in that yellow is just so nice looking.

Thats the nicest rx7 ive ever seen

She’s back

Nice vid good to hear about how RX7 drives, I hope to drive one in the future always wonder how it feels compared to 2017MY GT86 handling and speed comparison.

I cant wait till im old enough to drive one

yessssss

didnt know you worked in north lakes legit right round the corner from mine. beautiful rx7

I owned a RX4 sedan in NZ for years and Rotary's are the BEST, you can drive them like a normal car but, in saying that there is things you can do with a rotary you ca not do with a conventional car. Use your motor to aid in your braking as it wont do any damage to your car ( I used to use the compression of my motor for braking and as a normal part of driving as i did my brakes, also you can drive along like you can in any other car however if you need to access the power of the car get used to dropping down to lower gears and revving it up. When you have your rotary staged up and you get that wah wah wah sound like you have a lumpy cam you will need to find the rev as to drive along on the Wah wah wah will make the ride uncomfortable. keep in mind these motors on a bench blow up at around 32000 revs, use the power. These cars loved to be driven and love to be worked, driving like a grandad will create more issues than giving it the gas. I would love to own another rotary, they are the best!!! Hope this helps mate

I'm a simple man. I see a cruise video with a RX7, I put my headphones on max volume xD

Nice dude didn’t know you worked in North Lakes right round the corner from mine haha need to come see you on smoko break

goddam that rx7 sounds good as hell. keep it up man

As long as OMP is in the car, should be no problem engine *braking*.

@metalinvalidmatt

yeah, don't remove OMP and premix only, that then means you shouldn't engine brake (unless decel fuel cut is disabled, which has it's own issues), but yeah with OMP, no worries.

love the car zac

dis reminds me of my old rx8 🥺🥺🥺

My dream car my lord that's nice ahhhh 😍😍

Rotary life is rebuilds and side of the road park ups waiting for parts. Fun when they run. What people say about breaking them is some what true but then again you can break any engine in a heart beat if you wanted to.

Gonna be a good one ☝️

hi, how is it the idling? can see u keep on free gear ,cause im having same set up like your i think,v mount bridge port power fc , the time traffic jam not that comfort to drive, any idea to settle it? by the way nice video really ...

Amazing car. Is that an obd gauge on the right? Which one is it?

i hope one day i see u driving around northlakes omg aha would be a dream to meet u and see the fd

The first thing I picked up on this video was your lack of engine braking, I find myself doing the same with mine, purely for the fact that, as we know, rotors love a drink and in combination with pre mix, you sort of think to yourself, if I engine brake, I'll starve the engine of lubrication! Who knows for sure, I'm yet to find out! Cheers for sharing mate...

that's why it's (almost) always a better idea to keep the OMP and only premix a bit on top of that if necissary - sure do a OMP seperate reservoir mod if you like, but keep the OMP, mazda didn't put it there for no reason that's for sure

I saw u driving the other day it was sick

Sick car mate I was planning to get another one

More vids like this pls 🤩

Great video. Yeah on the fence about engine breaking but when I get my next rota I will engine breaking fo sho

Nice wheels bro 👌 fav car also, rx7 Aspec/Panspeed

You don't protect your identity while driving a dandelion orange rotary with a loud exhaust. And a big tip, download a speeding app. Waze? Saved my ass in my car

Bro i live near you because i see that ikea everytime i come home lmao

RX7 is my dream car too.. but hard to find a left wheel drive and too expensive for me.. the body shape is a first reason what i love.. the turbo sound so sick of me..haha.. why yours no wing..?

See you running PowerFC. Any recommend power fc tuner in Bris or SE Qld?

I deciphered the lovely braps and they translate to "Zac. I. Need. An. RE. Amemiya. Wide. Body. Kit. Now". Do it Zac do it!

If you have the factory OMP still connected, you're fine. If you're still worried just add 100ml of 2 stroke oil to a full tank. If you're STILL worried, just blip the throttle on the longer engine brakes

damn, a skyline and a rx7, pretty crazy

Hello i am from puerto rico i like rotarys in puerto rico loved rotarys

You just deeply press the clutch Congrats for the oil👍👍👍😂😂😂

I live really close to you, hopefully I will see it one day!

What's it like to drive an rx7? wish I could have a go at driving one someday. I have my own jdm but still have a few on my bucket list to have the experience of driving.

Men I like that sounds 😎

My dream is to drive one of these

i live so close to this man only just realised 😅

What do you do for a living bro? Inspire me

Resting your hand on the stick does add wear, something more concerning than engine breaking I believe. Nice video

How difficult has maintenance been?

What exhaust are you running?
