Rotsun Lives Again! - Roadkill S9 Ep103 FULL EPISODE | MotorTrend
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
If there has been one car in the Roadkill fleet that absolutely never fails to fail, it’s the 1971 Datsun 240z rust bucket known as the Rotsun. From the beginning, the Rotsun has let Freiburger and Finnegan down over and over, whether it be at autocross events, drag races, shootouts, or even 24 Hours of Lemons. However, it’s the one car the guys can never quite give up on even though it’s fulling deserving of desertion. Over the years it’s had a variation of power plants, it’s latest being a junkyard turbocharged 5.0 Liter V8 pulled from a fox body Mustang. Now on this episode of Roadkill, Freiburger and Finnegan attempt to get the Rotsun back up and running after years of neglect, by finally fixing its independent rear suspension issues and attempting to drive it to SEMA. Will the Rotsun fail to fail? Will it break more axles or will the axles break the guys?

Motortrend must have finally figured out no one wants to use their streaming service. This is legitimately the first full episode of Roadkill I've seen since they left KZread.

Maybe the O G fans that made roadkill can enjoy it again! Doubt the sell outs! Just PR for whatever event in Vegas that no one cares about! Doubt 9 tries on axle shafts unless both you guys have smoked yourselves retarted in the last couple years! And speaking of smoking retarted with the BS oiling issue! Sad that I used to enjoy Roadkill and now Im criticizing the garbage content that I couldn't get more of!

I am a total fanatic of the old Z cars, having owned about 20 of them over the years. Every time I see the Rotsun come up I get excited to see what is to come next for the rusty old thing. It's impressive that it's still relatively in one piece with the power that's been thrown at it.

Zs are great. I love the real ones and tbh, I even still like the 350s and 370s..
It's great to be able to see the evolution of this car again since I lost track of it when the show left youtube.
Awesome, a full episode from roadkill!
Roadkill is one of the best things ever produced on KZread. Nice to see a return to form. Mike and Dave are the quintessential dynamic duo.
This was absolutely my favorite episode behind Stubby Bob.
Thank you MT for bringing back shows on YT Especially a Rotsun! Ep. My favorite RK car
Finally i can watch this masterpiece program from Brazil , i miss motortrend on demand because "ITS NOT AVAILABLE ON MY AREA ANYMORE", learned alot of tips from you guys, even my poor knowledged on another language raised a bit wathching you, the best gearhead show i've seen on internet
Thanks Motor Trend... For Finally remembering that there are Tons of Fans outside of the USA who have missed Roadkill and and the other Roadkill family .. Please we need MORE, More, More....
MotorTrend Channel please do more of this, it's awesome if even older episodes to finally see these on KZread again. All these types of shows need to pop up here. Thanks for popping this one up
Rotsun is such a fighter, even though it tends to fail, it just keeps going again. Thank You Motor Trend for putting this episode of Roadkill on KZread to be able to watch it.

as a non american i can finally watch roadkill again, YAY - keep it that way!
Thank you for putting up a full episode for once and one of the greatest cars still going strong!!
Love the Rotsun!!! One of my favorite Roadkill cars!
Well this was an amazing surprise. Glad to see these two boys back on YT
Frieburgers episode recaps are my favorite. As he describes it u can see the cars progression, the story of owning a hot rod, and working on it with your friends.

Yeah! I’ve been watching roadkill since the early days! Love to see it back!
Roadkill is the main reason I was subscribed in the first place then they stopped doing KZread. Glad to see they're putting some of the old episodes are coming back
FINALLY. Motortrend listens to it's viewers
Thank you thank you thank you, I've been reading articles by David since waaayyyyy back(in hot rod and car craft, 4 wheel and off-road.....I read em all) and mike Finnegan worked for street truck magazine when I was into mini trucks, been missing your shenanigans on KZread for some time. Glad they are back!
Thank you MT for giving us this episode! Please share us more 🙏
Man must’ve been a fun road trip in that c10!
I want to see the Cooling system fixed next I love the rust bucket.
I love watching the continuing work yallz do on these cars!
Looking forward to more full roadkill episodes again
Yes!!!! Thank you for releasing a new episode of roadkill! Loved watching religiously years ago.

Hello dear
This episode is by far the most awesome, entertaining, and 150% pure ROADKILL satisfaction. This is the exact type of episode that made me fall in love with the show soo many years ago. It's been a long time since I've been soo thoroughly entertained I have watched the episode 4 times now. Thank you very much for this amazing episode and PLEASE keep em coming. Everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE 😃 😊
I'd have one of those in a heartbeat, if I had the money. Have to get it's electrics uprated from 110v to 240v but it's tons of fun and highly usable.👍🏻
This is brilliant.!!!! It's all back at last, the laughter the joy and the excitement. ;) Best show LOVE IT.!
Nice one! I’ve always been a big fan of this car.
THEYRE BACK ON KZread, WHAT IS THIS
Yes! Thank you motor trend, I have missed these guys so much!
First time I've watched roadkill in like 7 years is the first time they release a free episode
Hey MTOD,feeling the burn yet? Episodes of roadkill back on KZread,must have hurt when you shut the world out,now you're doing this,put more out,if you're game
The rotson is the perfect exsample of why you dont buy junked or used parts and make sure you reinforce other parts.
I love when it’s such a problem that you guys get the giggles. Cracks me up
OMG it has been years and out of nowhere I get this recommended... Welcome back, I love you guys and the Rotsun ! 🤩
Glad to see roadkill back on KZread. LOVE THE ROTSON! give that baby the parts she needs to be reliable please
Glad to see you back on YT and especially with the Rotsun. It also brought back bad memories of the dreaded spindle pin removal, been down that road many times before.
cant believe its back on KZread, literally my childhood right here
For me it does wonders for my mental health to see other people fight the same issues I run into regularly when I work on my vehicles. Thanks Road Kill. 👍
Thanks for full episodes again!
I love when projects reach that point where it's so f'd, and you're so tired, you're just laughing really for no reason.
I love your positive reactions to the problems that arise showing what it takes to not get discouraged how to use your own ideas how parts can be modified to fit your needs and certain parts that is cuz sometimes you need to stop trying to go back to the drawing board and think outside the box great episode
This brings me back. I miss roadkill being on KZread
they almost sit on each other's legs testing the suspension 😀😀 love this show😀😀
*Favorite Roadkill build by far haha, S30 Z rules*
Thank you MotorTrend, from the Czech Republic
2019, let that sink in before praising Motortrend....
Oh man, brings back why I used to love this show.😁
You guys have no idea how much happiness it brings to a chum from India, just to see Finnegan and Freiburger do a show together. Keep going guys, we love you on the other side of the planet too.
It's back! I love this show! So happy to see it's back on KZread :)
Glad to watch again roadkill episodes
"what he's trying to say, is this axle is also too long." thats roadkill, baby! 😆
MotorTrend finally listened, please put all roadkill eps on KZread!
I even paid for motor trend just to watch roadkill and I could not find it on there in full. I canceled my subscription sed that I could not watch roadkill anymore. Thank you for the new episode!!🎉
Thank you for these uploads😘
I havent been able to watch anything MTOD related since you guys left UK.I cannot believe its on KZread again.Thank you so so much
Hooray! Rotsun, desert donuts, a burnout, and Swingers quotes; what a treat! The only drawback: 47 Hertz commercials. Well worth it for Roadkill!
Had forgotten about Roadkill. Good to see it still exists.
Motor trend: here you go, first one's free. Us: yeah we want more! MT: oooh, that's gonna cost ya.
Glad you're back!
Good to see you back on KZread!
Oh man what a blast from the past remember when this car was first posted. So happy roadkill is back!
Love the pure junk you throw together and make GREAT, kind of , well most of the time . OK sometimes. But love what you do. Rustang, RotSun, Stubby Bob and that Crusher Impala , I hope they never go away. Favorite is still the General Mayhem. Thank you
Love this show so much. Swapping motors in parking lots is entertaining.
This episode was like the good old roadkill where engines got swapped in parking lots... Loved it
By far one of my favorite episodes love the rotson
Finnegan welding next to the fuel tank brings me back to the time I was stood under a car with a snow shovel deflecting sparks away from the fuel tank while my buddy was welding something that broke shortly after
this show makes views , i never watched anything but roadkill on this channel
I love the Rotsun, it’s how I found this channel when you guys first got it. Missed roadkill shame you guys hide it behind a paywall but very nice episode
I can’t get motortrend in Australia so it’s good to see roadkill on KZread again!
"You're so money baby!" I just saw that movie a couple days ago. Can't even remember the name. Glad I got the reference.
Man, Motortrend... Please get your act together and bring Roadkill back for us Europeans! I absolutely miss the carnage!
