The age old question of porting vs streetability? With a big port comes some sacrifices on the street. Is it worth it to you?

    A few things to take away from the video. -Wiggle shift knob when in neutral -Mean face when driving is a must -Bridgeport -If you need to pull a hill, you can pull a hill -At red lights rotaries are the coolest cars -Bridgeport -Rev instead of horn(because racecar) -Neutral is more than a friend -BRIDGEPORT!

    finally someone explaining why a bridgeport is tough to street.
  • @cfltitan
    Damn I LOVE the sound of a well built rotary!
  • The 2 things will never get old to this gear head.. #1 a loud throaty rotary #2 the smell of 2 stroke running specially with premix first thing in the morning👃

    That face. Concentration, excitement, but more importantly accomplishment. Welcome brother to stage II.
  • I freakin love his face when he gets on it. It's like a mix of excitmemt, fear, and satisfaction all in one face!😂

    This is the exact setup I’m building towards right now thank you for making this video

    God... I’m jealous the 12A NA BP sounds beautiful. I just finished my 13B NA half bridge, I hope it sounds half as good as this.

    I had an ‘82 RX7 with an RX4 13B Bridgeport and twin 48mm down draught Weber and streeted it for years. Good fun. Rocked the car at idle. 4” exhaust and rotorflo muffler sounded sweet. Miss the ol girl.

    miss having rotary cars.. I had 5 RX7s in my younger days
  • @larrykay6606
    And your clock still works. Awesome! I miss my 13B street ported 1979 RX7 that I drove from 1981 thru 1991 :(

    Random YouTube video recommendation but I love the vid. Subscribed! Currently building a 6 port half bridge

    It's been 3 years, this video never gets old. Also, nobody seems to talk about this Jesse brapman cook some primix on his car😂 You always remind me of breaking bad man, but a lot cooler😂
  • Great video! Really informative- thanks for the reminder that Bridgies ain’t for city traffic. Probably best to Keep em for the track. Just gotta figure out how to keep em under the race track noise limits. Keep up the vids really enjoying them.
  • This is perfect!! Exactly how I want my 1981 rx-7 to sound and drive. It's all about the Braps. Fuel consumption, who cares lol. It's a rotary, a true funhaver! Smiles per mile, that's what it's all about.

    Thanks for making this video, it reminds me of when I used to street drive my RX4 with 13b bridgeport and 51IDA Weber (48IDA bored out to 51mm, also had an extension welded onto the fuel bowl). The best thing I ever did with that combo was change from F2 to F11 emulsion tubes - mid range power improved significantly. I don't know if that will translate to your carb and 12A , but it may be worth experimenting with different emulsion tubes if you haven't already. It looks like your 12A goes well and it sounds great.
  • I drove mine for 1yr straight even through winter time which it suck, mine was full Bridgeport with a Holley 750 dual pump, had to do the oil change every week and fill with gas every 2 days 😂😂😂 loved it and miss it, i can't wait to get one, either the fb or the FC chassi but now they're getting very expensive and hard to find cheap in good condition... I wish i would off kept mine
