I've owned and raced older rotary cars and love them all
and find the FD RX-7 as one of the best designed cars in history just so gorgeous.

[NightRunner_K]

Man literally rolled up with the most stock looking FD making 420WHP 🤣 that's one healthy rotary.

[RGHTBrainDesign]

So cool to see Logan and myself in the same professional video. Fantastic.

Love the dyno experience. Can’t wait to go back next year! E85 🌽 is the next goal

What happens if your engine blows? Obviously you are maxing it out. Are you SOL or is it covered in the dyno test?

The cold air filter box said 10 horsepower 😂

I got my 1983 RX7 engine and suspension overhaul done here and so far so good. Almost 5k miles of spirited driving and running strong.

hi there quick question my car does not idle does it need a dyno tuning?

[mynintendogamingfeed]

1:54 Aww, why would someone want to cover their ears while hearing the dyno tuning process?? Don't want to hear the engine rev at its max power?

[Andrew-zvfm]

I feel like there could have been more added to this.

I searched for Dinosaur Tunes. How did I get here?

[jaydibernardo]

I could hear the apex seals giving out on that last run.

[ClaytonYatescarenthusiast]

On the fly changes huh? So maybe with a halltech but 95% of tunes are a run then changes then a run to verify and on and on

[DavidJCarrell]

Would somebody please shoot me for selling my ‘95 RX-7 back in 2000?
