Hi all,
I've recently started a rotary-centric youtube channel. I want to ultimately document the build of my own car, but to start with I've shot a few short features to highlight different people and their cars and how they use them.

The first clip is now live, I meet up with street-class superlap competitor Darryl Curran and he tells us a bit about the RX7 he's driving, how the day is going, what he likes about the series and the people he would like to thank for helping him out.


Even if you just take 3 minutes of your day to watch this it would mean the world to me.

whether outright swindling liars, virtue signalers, disingenuous babblers, or psychopathic murderers, with some study and practice you can easily learn how to discern through all their deceptions and untruths:


he makes a number of case study videos from celebrities, to politicians, to the criminally insane that demonstrate the techniques used by successful intelligence agents and police investigators

which in the yourube land overflowing with utter bs, is a breath of fresh air.

Impressive car, and undeniable. I just can't get myself to enjoy the car given the sticker written on the door. Reading the stories of folks who got scammed by them really makes you mad.

With that said, did still watch it all lol

I've never heard of Angel Motorsports, and I normally don't even watch Dave Patterson's videos, but this one was amusing.

Looks like this thread turning from worthwhile channels to regular youtube bs.

Given that, my contributions would be "Tim McAmis Performance Parts" and "Steve Morris Engines". Tim hasn't put out much recently, but Steve is still active.

You can also watch AdamLZ blow a 4 rotor (probably built or tuned poorly by Vargas bros, so no surprise there)

I really enjoyed watching these videos regarding brake system design and the ideal brake curve. Not an engineer, nor do I profess to be but I think these may be of interest for those looking for the "why" behind brake system design.

Nice look at the new 8C
Interesting combustion pocket
Single spark plug
Fuel injector on top of rotor housing
Looks like they went back to 2 oil metering injectors like the S1 Renesis
No exhaust sleeves?
What else do you see?
Overall very cool look at the manufacturing and assembly process!

Cool video. There was a step where they show & mention a "ceramic flame spray" process on the end plates, which I supposed hardens the wear surfaces.

I really hope they're applying all these new technologies to a 2 or 3-rotor performance turbo rotary engine design somewhere in the skunkworks.

A video from this channel came on my feed after watching the MX-30 factory video, you can configure youtube to auto-translate subtitles in English by pressing the CC button. As far as I can tell, she has at least two videos visiting the engine assembly portion of the Mazda factory in Hiroshima. The 'bathtub' compression pocket in the new engines is very different, I wonder how much of that is due to the direct injection and how much would also apply to port-injected engines that were optimized to work well as a generator.



edit: found another:
