Rotary Revs is an independent Mazda rotary specialist based in Birstall, West Yorkshire, not far from Leeds city centre. Although a rotary specialist, we are primarily focused on serving Mazda RX-8 and RX-7 owners and have built up a prestigious reputation in the rotary community, around the UK and across Europe. Frequently having customers travel from overseas because they want us specifically to work on their car.
Unlike most other "rotary specialists", Rotary Revs was not founded as a typical business venture but instead grew organically out of the sheer interest and passion our Managing Director (Ben Dunn) has for the RX-8. It is this ‘enthusiast’ interest in the cars that was and still is, the sole reason for our being and the driving force behind the company.

How were you able to get that one bolt out that’s by the subframe I have the same car and I’m having a hard time getting it out Tried using a hammer,torch, wp40
Hey my R3 needs a rebuild fancy using mine for a video got the money ready need her back asap can't keep driving a Volvo
I’ll buy it!!
welcome back !
I've owned one for ten years. It's got an RR Ignition kit on it for ten years also. It was my daily-use car until 2019 when work gave me a van - and was in great condition until it sat through 'The Inconveniences.' Worst thing that happened was not moving for 6-8 weeks. The rot got into it It never failed to start and run. Even with a sparkplug whirling around inside the engine. Sitting still ruins it. Brake locks. Metal rusts. Bushings split. The rot's into the sills - despite the best efforts of the hammerite on the bodywork. It's patched like Flak-Bait now. The shocks burst on track so it has coillovers. The front brakes locked on - but they were swapped for rebuilt calipers. The exhuast exploded on a backfire - and was replaced by a HKS single-exit exhaust. It's basically in Preservation at the moment - the engine's being rebuilt with some light porting work but nothing fancy - just tidying it. Was running fine when it went under the knife, but ten more years of car. Report from when it was cracked open was - it was in great condition inside. Just premix and regular oil changes - and batter the bejaysus out of it. It's hard to find a car that'll replace it.
Glad to see you guys uploading again
What type of rim and size ?
Can you provide part numbers for the LCA? Are the series 1 LCA the same as series 2?
I've yet to see a Velocity Red that's had paint that matches the original body. My 3 MPS had the bumpers done via trade at some point and it bugs the heck outta me. I did read somewhere that Mazda slowly altered the paint over the years, so there was more gold fleck in the early years and the red was stronger as it went on, how true that is I don't know. Could also be the original red had faded due to the sun exposure, and that's a reason the fresh coats don't match maybe? Either way, being a tri-stage paint it'd take a good eye and some spray out cards to get a good match I think unfortunately. It's such a lovely red though. Certain lights it just flashes sunburst and at night just plain claret red. Loved watching the vid, so therapeutic. Got a week off and plan to give mine a good bit of TLC and a polish, so got me in the mood! 😃
Great job! I need to do the same on my RX8
Looking far better now than when I saw it last in person. What was wrong that had it off the road for so long?
We will share that info in part 2! 😎
Охуительно помыл , что тут сказать))
God I wish I could find one here in Canada worth buying. Everything is rot and useless. Would look great with my mazdaspeed6 aka mps.
New video let's gooooo! A damn work of art, that car. You guys should hit up AutoAlex for a collab now that he's taken a hike from Car Throttle. I bet he misses his rotary.
He bought another end of last year and already selling/sold it. As much as he believes he loves them, he always moves on to something else… part and parcel of the job I guess, he spent even hardly get to drive O Phil
Liked it before watch 😎😎
Love a r3
It's been a while since you guys uploaded and I am here waiting like a kid to hear those beautiful rotary exhaust notes
Hold tight, this is a great video! 😎
I want to know who thought that color wheel would look good on ANY color of car!!
Why does this look AI generated
yes
Yes I think you should restore it a give it a good home.
Honest all the body and interior needs (from what I can see) is a deep cleaning but I don't know if or what is wrong with the motor, transmision, exhaust, turbo if it has one, rotor or rotor housings, battery and terminals, driveshaft, clutch, suspension, steering knuckles, wheel bearings or bushings, or if it has spots that need a bit of welding
BARELY a project😂
All of that crap and only 5hp increase 🤣 218hp all they can do in the uk 😂
All he needs is a cleaning
If you’re able to, keep them alive!
Poor R3.. There are days where I miss it... This one looks like it needs some saving though.
Damm straight you need too :) and burn them wheels please , ps I have a set of original R3 wheels if you want them ?? Need a good refurb though
These need saving. Yes, 100%.
I wanna see
I want to see this Project
Yeah, of course!! Too few about, you can’t leave it like that
I want to see this project. Yes please.
You’re in for a treat 😎
An R3 with S1 alloys. A choice was definitely made
We will definitely have the wheel situation addressed 😎 infact, we already have a new set ready to go on! 👀
So basically street is way better than Bridgeport.
:54 the fuckin look and then busting out laughing but trying to hide it. Im lmfao. Love that
No new videos?
Hands down one of the most beautiful designed car for sure rx8 look are timeless 👌🏿
Man I love that wing! What wing did you get and could you recommend it?
Looks like mazdaspeed
That looks way easier then building a piston engine
Disagree : quantum mechanics is QUANTUM not Continuum. At a macroscopic scale things becomes continuous, but when taking example of light: bad example: sunlight is continuous because black body/ Planck’s law, but a laser is « one » color. There are light source not continuous.
can yall share what the dimensions on those wheels and tires are?
More videos guys please!!
How come this car made so much more power than Felix? Is there that much variance when these engines are rebuilt? Cool video and car btw
Can you rev these to 10k once they've been ported?
Supercharger should change that
I have a 40th anniversary and want to install an R3-looking kit, where can i buy it? Also is it going to be a pain in the a** to paint it since its the special color Metropolitan grey? Thanks!
this is nice this dope .. great power
I love how rotary engines are basically lego bricks and can be stacked onto one crank with ease. 8 rotors on one crank is possible because it only rotates so zero flex, but i havnt seen it done yet
pls start posting again ?
We will do our best!
can i buy an engine from rotary revs to romania?
