Found on an old VHS tape, at a time when I had crap TV reception, so apologies for the quality but until someone uploads a better copy of this feature this is a good as it gets!
Video Rating: 4 / 5
More J-Tin please, I love the show!
loudest thing on earth is a wankel without a muffler,
I wish they’d do an episode of Jay’s garage on that one!
yes it is
Is that Saab 96 back there a 2-stroke?
big motor, small car, FAST. : )
Why Classic sports cars are so tiny?
Wow I never thought a japanese car could sound like that
I’d never own a rotary but those old mazda motors always sound amazing
Rotary power!!! HEEELLL YEAHHHH!!!!
I used fully synthetic oil on my 12A blowthrough turbo without any problems…
love my rotaries!
This is why I love my Miata; It is light, it revs nicely (though not rotary nicely), and I can actually run the gears into high RPM’s without losing my license.
It’s crap! Watching it in 1080p looks much worse then watching it in 240p! Anyway, the car is great…looks beautiful
hey Jay whats up !!!! its me again ……
do you have an fd3s rx7 ??? if yes can you show it of ????
thanks
He was being sarcastic you nerd fuck.
You need me to make some molds of this body Jay…just in case you wreck it?…heh heh
stop trying to be a dick he already replied to my comment and said the video is like 5 years old and that is why it is shit quality
your an idiot… this is the equivalent of a 4 banger
Sounds like a “Tuner” engine at those high rev’s.
they won le mans and then banned
J’ My mazda Rx8 has 20B rew engine. Got it from later model of this cosmo.
Glad you like Rotary engine.
why no, i don’t
Just sweet
Damn right
I doubt that 3000 GT 4WD with 4 wheel sterring and even with Aero pack handles better that FD RX-7. I drove both couple years back now. And believe me RX-7 is better on the corners it has also 50:50 weight distribution. Both great cars. I agree that 3000 GT is way more comfortable. It’s like better, and faster BMW E31 with that sort of comfort and equipment.

MAZDA RX-7 ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!
@003Godsend Haha you know fuck all mate! RX-7s handle better, are faster, and can be used 365 days a year. The rotary unit was a complete JACKPOT in power and respectable torque. So before you comment your fucking fanboy words ask yourself this. What fucking idiot would buy a 3000GT over an RX-7? When the RX-7 is better in EVERY way? Lol dumbass kid.
The wankle rotary is one the most dependable torque monster engines out there
the 3k gt is a fail evo with a terrible 4wd system and they are cheap to buy i dare you to find an fd for less than 12 grand and they are almost 20 years old
this is hands down one of the dumbest things i’ve ever read in my 9 years on youtube. wow.
lol what fucking idiot would buy a rx7 over a 3000gt? that wankle rotary unit was a DISASTER, as were the RPM dependent turbos.
3k gt handles better, is faster, can be used 365 days a year (something the mazda doesnt have a dream of doing), and is fucking loaded.
According to Jeremy I’m a disco boy. LOL I love my RX-7. Those 3000GTs are elephants.
Only in 30 secs. Is that YOUNG Jeremy Clarkson?! Lol
ok take the jag and you will live in a garage and i know you will never have all the lights working for one day (the best is only one light of)
Its funny to look back and see Clarksons thoughts on these sports cars and see what they have become. GTO/3000GT are heavy junk most are now scrap. XJS rusty junk and are now scrap. RX-7 a classic sports car and one of the best handling cars in the world (back when the world wasn’t full of driver aids to help idiots)
Hahaha oh shit that’s Jeremy Clarkson! Took me 30 seconds to figure it out! Love top gear!
Lol i just read that a Mitsubishi will go on forever in the comments. My eyes are noe in diew ans peocablt sisehrwfearws
Thanks
lets hope it happens
I read it here, Phil
carscoop[.]blogspot[.]com/2012/11/mazda-sports-car-chief-says-rx-7-will[.]html
how many times did you reuse this tape lol
U got ripped off if u bought the GTO ahha
Where did you hear this Isaac?
Mazda’s reviving the RX-7 for 2017 with their 300 PS 16X Rotary engine
your first argument doesn’t really work. yes, true, you are supposed to use “an” before the next word in which starts with a vowel. however, if the word begins with the sound of a vowel ie; “rx7″ the r starts off with an “a” sound. say it to yourself, “a rx7″. sounds kinda caveman. so, sorry bro. raphael was indeed correct in his pronunciation. i mean really, who cares? look, i don’t capatilize anything! and i didn’t even proofread. i don’t care if i get flamed for misspelling anything.
HAIR
Pretty nice cars for an ancient vid
Aaaargh my eyes, my eyes!!!!!!
2 things. First, “An” is used if the next word starts with a vowel. Second, “performance threshold”? If one had unlimited amounts of funds, your performance threshold is thrown right out the window. In other words, any car can be made fast with the right amount of funds.
