RE Amemiya's Hidden Tokyo Workshop!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
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.
Dino it is like you have a direct line to Cool. Every episode you deliver is just major major major major.

Not enough of them around anymore, especially that nice!🤘
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

Organised chaos I like to call it. Describes Japan on so many levels
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.

Consider this a first taste. More to come from the other shop in Chiba!
Aside from the amazing rotary builds, I personally have a deep respect for Amemiya-Sam’s historical impact on Japanese car culture 👍

Great video Dino, yes RE Amemiya are turning legends. It blows me away how long they have been around. I’m happy that you did this story. I haven’t thought of this garage forever. 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.

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
Great video, always wondered what their hq was like. So cool that he lives there!
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.

Thx Dino for providing us with some Amemiya content 😎👍🏻 *Somewhere in the 90s was the time i saw video content with Amemiya Rotary Cars 😊
This is so sick my dude. I knew his shop was small but damn. That was a cool stop by. Thanks DC

Love it. Been a fan of RE and the rotary. I have a tattoo inspired by RE.
Dino I read a LOT of the stories you did on Speed Hunters, I'm glad I finally found your channel (recommended because I watch a lot of Larry Chen) . Every car that I have on NFS heat has SPEAD HUNTERS on it

I love those really old Japanese rims! So retro and eccentric.

Mind blown 😮i had no idea Amemiya-san had two shops! Thought Chiba was the only location. Next time i am in Japan this will be on the bucket list!
Come sempre video stupendo, penso che non ci sia molto da aggiungere semplice senza molti fronzoli diritto al sodo della questione, le immagini parlano chiaro!! Continua così 👏👏

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...

My idea to you to re advertise Japan cars to the world in USA, ITALY or anywhere in the world. You can gain a money from your hobby. All the best & have a great life. Abdallah
