Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Hello, to the best subscribers out there! In this video, Gels gets personal with his love hate relationship with the Rotary Engine. Especially the one in his Mazda RX8. All jokes aside, the rotary engine is one for braping. Its loud, fast and sounds like nothing you've never heard before. But with all good engines, a grocery list of things that are maybe not so good follows. So find out in this video! If we missed anything or you wish to chime in, let us know in the comments!

Alex I just have to say that you were the embodiment of fitment industries and you decided to do your own thing and now you are martini works and what ever you do I’m here for it. YOU MAKE BRANDS WHAT THEY ARE!! YOU BRING THAT F*CKING ENERGY 😤✊🏾💯
Owning an RX8 as a first car was so much fun and I haven’t had anymore fun in any other car!!!… but 😂.. owning a rotary is such a pain that I won’t get another one because we’ll I don’t feel like dropping so much money lol and doing constant maintenance!.. still will be forever a great car that I got to experience 🫡.
Mazda really neutered themselves trying to meet emissions standards. Rob Dahm's channel is super enlightening on even small things that can basically double or triple the life of a rotary.

Literally watch his videos religiously so I can know everything I need to for when I buy my RX-7
Damn no love for the RX-3 eh? That car was/is great. Old school looks and new school brap
The level of maintenance alone would detour any casual car person. A friend of mine foolishly bought one and didnt even know you're supposed to warm up the engine before driving. I dont drive rotary and even i know that.
another martiniworks certified SLAPPER, good job boys, excited to see the new shop space :)
ofc gels, the rx8 owner, is gonna do the rotary video. all in all though, good shit man.
6:05 is it a flex to not care in the slightest of the cat walking on the Ferrari
Funny your making this cause im literally buying one next year. That is my dream car and while never be swayed from not buying it
awesome reminds me of when i found yall on fitment, keep up the good work
My Rotary engine, is still alive and kicking in my RX 8... You just have to know how to take care of them, and yes they are not ideal, as a daily driver.
Gels is a great presenter
LOVE these history videos. great job guys! (now i just need you to make a video on how to dorito swap my 9th gen civic XD)
Let's Go Gels and the rest of you cats over there at MartiniWorks!!!💯💪🏽💯
Mazda had to conform to the pathetic EPA crap to be able to continue the rotary vehicles hence the redesign of the engine and no turbo. I was never super keen on the RX8 but it grew on me slowly until a year ago when I bought one. It’s better than the RX7 once you transplant a 13B REW. It has better safety, better tech, more comfortable, quieter, more room and looks not quite as sexy as FD its not a bad looker
Im so glad everyone came over to this channel to watch the boys still do their thing like on fitment
My rotary swapped forester runs just fine
W video again, the martiniworks team's insane

*Palpatine voice* yes good. keep the rx8 priced low. I need more dorito machines! Great video, spot on too.
What were those reviews car 2 car those were funny asf
That cat 🐈 heard rotary …. And came to check it out 😂
Actually the RX-9 came way before the RX 7 in the form of the Mazda Luce/929 with the rotary engine. But back then it wasn’t called like that 😂. I am curious though if Mazda will follow suit with the rx-8 body and either a newer rotary or a piston engine, preferably from the Mazda 6/3. In my opinion the 3 has the body of the 8 while the 6 has the power.
Hell yeah of course it’s gels taking bout the best engine (sound) ever
My 2009 r3 has at least a decade left on it. They aren't dead at all 😂
It’s sad but Mazda just made a new inline 6 in the cx-90, maybe it’ll come in a sedan one day 🤞
Ik that the rotary is wanted for the next sports coupe from Mazda but y not look into the turbo inline 6 from the cx90, could be potential there even if it’s a suv but that engine couple be a hidden gem👀

Last i checked, the rotary for that design was only meant to act like a charger for the electric motors. It wasn't meant to actually power the car like an engine would. It could have changed since last i checked though. Its been a while.

@@nrdslayer6942 that would be sweet but, japan isnt known for going balls out like 'murica (dodge especially). I'd love to see it though. I'd want them to put in a triple rotor like they did for the Cosmo back in the day.
what do you mean if we will see the returning of the rotary engine? mazda sels an suv with 1 inside
I'm thinking of buying a 2006 mazda sport 6 as a project car. Is it a good idea or I shouldn't waste my money??

Get it! Mazda is a great brand and the 6s look pretty good modified
I like calling them Doritos 😂
I wonder has anyone tried a skyactiv swap I looked and haven’t seen any
Upvoted for cat in background.
Press gas pedal 5x clutch 1x if engine not starting
i almost bought an rx8 before I started learning cars at 19 im glad i kinda didn't lol
If you Say Rotary... You've already accepted... It's Failure.. Devour Oil also... But I agree.. they are cool..
The rotary engines does not have a reliability issue. It has an “amateur can enthusiast” ownership problem.
In the case of Europe, emissions were a huge factor unfortunately
Kinda lame how this is mostly about negative aspects of rotary.. specifically with new versions looming in the future. Woulda been a good time to hype the potential vs highlight the unfavorable
I wish Mazda would make an RX9. we all know it won't happen :(
Brap brap brap brap brap brap!!!!!!
Because old people remember rotary engines being where the cylinders were in a RADIOUS on aircraft and early early (like 1890-1920s cars). Those were the original and definitionally rotary engines, wankel would be more genuine and more honest to what that man designed.

Those are called Radial engines
The main issue with rotary engines is the idiots that treat them like piston engines, this is what leads to reliability issues! Just think the mazda lemans car ran for 24hrs without any engine wear, where as the piston engines required rebuilding.
Angel Motorworks disagrees.

This entire channel, the podcast, and the new company are making me so happy. Y’all are the reason I want to get a car and make it reliably unreliable. Keep it up 🥹🫡
