Kazzer did not do it justice, IMO. The "Sound Man" on the show neither.

"needs brakes!" my ***... He needs to learn to handle 400hp.

Great car!! Congratulations.

Anything from behind the scenes of the show worthwhile to mention??

So did anyone catch the commentator claiming the TII had twin turbos to reduce lag?? Duhhhhhhh, that's the FD! They should have run that 20b down the 1/4 mile and on a long straight, f&%$ing show did not do proper justice to such a nice car. Nice car!

I just saw the show and Kazzer did say that 2nd gens came with 2 staged turbos, they need to hire a technical advisor because they dont know squat aboout rotories. They should have 1/4 miled it too.

I like how he compliments on the brakes a slight bit earlier and then when he messes up he starts to blame it on the brakes. Not a very well informed test driver overall. Anyways, always a joy to see 3 Rotors representing on TV. Your car and swap look really clean

Yeah, I was all looking forward to an awesome episode....but they didn't do a very good job at all. Nice car though......It also sounded like they said that the Rx7 came out in 1979 when all of the turbo cars were coming out to give 'us americans' to choose from......insinuating that there was a turbo model in 1979.

Oh well....nice car man, too bad they didn't do it justice.

Thanks for posting up the vid. Good quality.

As for the 20B car, it looks great. Nice and clean.

Since I have never seen the show, why is Kazzer a "recording artist" a test driver for the show? Racing experience? Has a collection of cars ala Jay Leno? I dunno, he just annoys me.

Thanks For Sharing Balzz

WOOOOT, I thought I wouldn't be able to see that SWEET RIDE on TV as I don't get that Channel. Nice Quality on the Video. TNX.
Too bad they didn't do their homework on Rx7's to do proper justice to a car that has seen a lot of well done upgrades and mods.

Do they really pay people to do Sports Car reviews without doing any research??
"Only thing you might want to do is paint them black"???
At least they used one of the Worthiest 2nd gens I've seen for the show. Instead of just a blinger.
Congrats 20B-3Rotor!!! on having your ride chosen for a T.V. show.

Bigger is Better!

Kazzer's no Walter Rohrl, but it's better to have him track test interesting machines that watching Pat Goss tell us about oil additives.

Other than Top Gear or the occasional 5th Gear, I don't think there are better car shows in that genre.

Just watched it, Kaazer needs to be slapped... First of all it really looks like he doesn't know how to drive, he also doesn't know his stuff. Like others said aren't they supposed to have tech advisors that are smart enough to realize by looking at the car that it doesn't have TWIN TURBOS.
