There are methods of downloading YouTube videos to your HD. On an Intel based Macbook Pro laptop I use a Freeware application called FLVR. It is a simple drag, drop, download and save procedure.

This footage and the sounds of the 12A redlining rock. Definitely going in my collection.

Thanks!

yeah, you guys pretty much got it all on the translation... weber, bridgeport, and REOS exhaust. They pretty much spend the rest of the video praising the rotary engine and commentating on driving style, at one point making a reference to how it is similar to an AE86, so driving the SA isn't that big of a problem for Tsuchiya. They said a bunch more, but nothing really important...

Yea I heard something about the AE86 at the end, i was wondering if he thought it was similar. Apparently 2 years of college Japanese didn't teach me enough to understand this video....

I have a friend who has 2 ae86's and he said other than how light my clutch was, it feels EXACTLY like an AE86...Also, ive driven a few 86's and they feel really similar...power band is even the same. However, i love my FB more than i love an 86.

Uh, i don't remember exactly what the driver was saying about the skyline, but Tsuchiya was definitely complimenting the RX-3 and it's rotary and how it was a really cool car back in the day. He said that the car was very "fine/splendid/excellent" ("rippa") and that it was a very well made NA engine. I think he was also complimenting the handling as well as the acceleration. He really liked the "feel" of the car.

I'll watch the video again and do a better translation later tonight.

The car is running around 350/200 lb springs. Wonder what shocks did they used.

The Skyline actually ended up turning a faster lap than the Rx-7.

That was like Top Gear, but in Japanese, and a long time ago.
