Is that huge *** turbo really necessary...? Cool project. Wish it's a little more "finished." Doesn't even seem like it runs...

Worthless video. They should have waited until the car was running. I would really like to see that.

It uses r33 awd components. The turbo is not oversized at any level. What you guys see is only 2.5 to 3 weeks worth of work.

​​​​​​​I have some more photos and its in part of a video on my IG account.

Thanks for posting, I've had knowledge of this build for quite some time

I think it's really cool to see innovation and something completely new for this platform being created while still staying true to the rotary theme

I think this needs to be said:

On the main Facebook RX-7 group there are tons of people (mainly younger kids) essentially talking trash and being very negative towards this car and Rob. Personally I think it shows lack of character and small-mindedness due to being raised wrong and having poor manners......basically a bunch of lowlife 'haters' to use a term they can understand.

There's a reason I have always chosen to spend my time in this environment vs over there---especially when it comes to the cars we all love so much.

I'm glad to see a better reception here. To all involved, keep it up and stay focused on the positive, because IMO that other crap doesn't really matter to the real rotary enthusiasts
