diy-re is total ****. I guarantee you will fall asleep in less than 10 minutes of watching it.
Knightsports have released their version. I have it and can recommend that and the RA one. Together you will have plenty of resources.
edit: the mazdatrix one is pretty neat too.

Knightsports one is in Japanese but theres plenty english info to get by. (some subs and numbers)
diy-re is presented by 2 people who basically act like they have zero knowledge of these engines at all, are INCREDIBLY boring and slow (not thorough, just slow)!! and the camera work REALLY sucks...theres 10% engine, 90% zoomed face shots. They are also never really sure about how things are supposed to install...they constantly question themselves.
I think you should get what you can and watch them all (bar diy-re). They all contribute one way or another to how it should be done. Multiple angles are good to build understanding before you start.
KS dvd can be from them direct or rhdjapan afaik.
All just my opinion...

I have the Bruce T, DIY RE, and the Mazdatrix. They all cover "small stuff" that the others don't cover, so is hard to take them as "the video bible of rebuilding"
On the DIY RE, yes they are slow and it becomes painful to watch; take for example the side seal clearance. Do we really have to watch 10 mins of them clerancing ONE side seal?!?!?!

Yes, multiple people on the club site have done it. I personally used the rotary aviation video in conjunction with the haynes manual and the FSM. I've only seen the Bruce T. video, but I thought he did a really good job of explaining it all. Those pictures from the mazdatrix video make it seem really good too, I kind of want to watch it even though I hope I won't do another rebuild for a good while. Yea it's boring, but I watched it atleast three times before hand anyways.

I ordered mazdatrix one through drifting.com and no response for like 2 months and got a refund through paypal, has any one bought one recently directly from mazdatrix ?
