Removing My 800-HP Rotary Engine Revealed A BIG PROBLEM I CAN'T FIX (What Should I Do?)

The energy absorbed by that chassis has warped the entire structure. Aluminum memory is not the problem. It is the strength loss of the material once it is bent and corrected. Salvage the reusable components from the SLC and scrap the remainder. The F355 is a tremendous amount of work. Put your time there.

Just focus on the swap and forget this ball of crushed billet.

as a general auto repair technician myself, id recommend letting the kit car go, its done from a safety and logical standpoint.

Tavarish: "It's bent, it's bad"
Arthur Tussik: "Ahahahahahaha"

Remove all the steel and clean up all that aluminum and you'll make a killing at the scrappers. RIPieces little Superlite.

As cool as the SLC sounded, I think everyone wants to see you go full-steam ahead onto the Ferrari project.

Last I knew Fran wouldn't sell a chassis by its self. Even if Fran would, with the amount of damage I can see just from the vid you would be better of with a new kit than trying to rebuild this one. Trying to make this one safe would be futile.

Recycle that trashed superlite take the power plant and put it in the Ferrari

That frame is toast. I hope we’re alle clear on that. Save as many parts and components as you can but please for the sake of everyone’s good health do not try to rebuild that thing.

Having built one myself, this damage might just be too much to save, frankly.

Re: damaged car .... Let it go. I wouldn't trust that even if it was repaired well.

Throw this thing away. They whole structure is fked.

I'd say postpone the SLCountach, and start on the ferrari f355 carbonella.

Sell the good parts and focus on the Ferrari. Forget about the kitcar

I love the sped up bits where you see Jared doing a million things and you're always stuck for ages on one bit 😄

I love Jared, such a humble respectful guy. Respect, Jared. And Freddie ofc, love you too man. Merry Xmas from the UK, guys.

Seriously, separate the steel from the aluminum and recycle it. That thing can't be made safe without replacing the entire thing.

From the creators of “flextape cant fix that”.... “Tavarish cant fix that” xD

I AM SO HAPPY when i find so cool storys that already got so far and i donthave to wait too long until the cool stuff happened haha
Great project. you guys living/working the dream

I think the fact that your still doing the blurry, zoom in thing to change angles even after having 1.03M subscribers is testament to how great your content is. Love the video!

Can you put a clock on the wall so we can see how long it took and we can always snoop at how long you work

I'd just strip all the good parts of n just bin the frame it had a hard impact it's not trustworthy

We all need a Jared in our lives.

I am enjoying your new side kick. very personable on screen. keep up the good work guys!

Tavarish had to find a rotary diamond in the riff raff, so he Went to Jared.😂

Tavarish in the AM???? I can get use to this! 👍🏼🍩☕

You guys talk the talk, but walk the walk too. Not only that, but you're just about the only ones on the planet doing stuff like this. Subscribed!

Call Mike from Angel Motorsports he’s in Florida right now call him to rebuild the 20B && you’ll never need another rebuild in years!

"so along with you guys, this is my first time looking at the inside of a 3 Rotor..."
Rob Dahm: Am i Joke to you?

I can hear Rob Dahms heavy breathing already. Respect for the rotary. :)

Ngl i got bamboozled by your messenger notification going off lmao i thought it was mine for a sec XD
Even exited outa KRplus just to check lmfao

You are very knowledgeable and my dad is a mechanic and watching your videos give me good tips on what to use in my car

“Where do the Doritos go?”

Really looking forward seeing how this build will end out. Got some fun parts in the mix - Keep up the good work

I would love to see more on the rotary Ferrari. I can't wait.. you sir are inspiration keep it up!

Hey dude !
New to the channel , love the content.
Looking forward a bunch of Awseome builds.
Ofcourse I subscribe!

...wait. Did you say “Mazdaratti”? 😆😆😆

Call Oscar from B is for build and have him fix it 😂🤷‍♂️

I had a Mazda rotary pickup way back in 1976. Put a Racing Beat intake and Holly carb on it along with their recommended headers. It was noisy, fast and could not pass a gas station without pulling hard to the left or right. Rotor tip seals went south just as I was getting ready to move half way across the country. So I bought a German made Mustang V6 engine and transmission oy a yard and a swap kit from some guy in San Diego. Had a flat bed carry it to the muffler shop and waited while they did the job. Drove it home, hooked wp my trailer and hit the interstate. Kept the truck for another four years it layed down one day on my way to work and I had to shoot it. Rotor tip seals were a big problem early on but I am sure that problem has been solved.

That SLC's crash structures, and tub served their purpose; they protected the occupant. Impressed by RCR's design work.

Hey waiting for your Bentley vedio. I know it's done and at the moment you are on up for alot of work.

The slow zoom in and out during the time lapse was a nice touch.

"So where do the Doritos go?" 🤣🤣👍

"So where do the Doritos go?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

honestly, take it apart and scrap the aluminum to recover some of your losses.

Write it off, and go on to the next project.

Good info on the parts under tension guys!

what is the essence of having a build if you just want to buy stuffs like plug and play, or build it and create something that is one of a kind that you can be proud of once done! its fun to watch a car build that is not just plug and play parts cause many people can do that, but not all builders can actually make something out of nothing!!! go for it!

Just trash that tub. I appreciate all you do but I was really never all about that build anyway.

Time to recycle the rest of the car and keep the engine and transmission .

Merry Christmas Freddie! and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Jared is awesome. The two of you make a great team

Give that car to B is for Build and Oscar will fix it 😂

Hit up Art Morrison to let them show off their skills with the frame and tub!

Love your videos. I like when you are building on that car🔥🔥

Whatever you decide to do, I’ll be here watching and supporting you !

Tavarish: Shows the bend
Me: OUCH!!

I laughed out loud when Jared commented that he hoped his wife would like him a bit more than Tavarish. You guys are fun to watch. Regarding the wrecked frame: I would put it on ice, not really interested myself, much, much, MUCH more interested to see the Ferrotor coming to life!

Wrench Everyday + Build it Better = Wrench it Better Everyday! Good luck Tavarish, excited to see where this goes.

Let the SLC go unless, like you said, they can send you essentially a whole new tub. I love the three rotor idea (it took some time to come to terms with this) and would like to see how it goes together in the Ferrari.

Just spotted you driving the murcielago through groveland in front of the publix on us27. Dude that car is amazing in person even though I only saw it a few seconds before you were gone lol. Let me know when you have a meet and I'll be there for sure

I couldn’t even watch this video because I was going to cry.

Thanks for the how to on Mazda rotor seal inspection .

Ouch! I won't lie, after seeing this on video, I do think the SLC is beyond fixing. Basically need a new car. I'm not a naysayer either, you know that. But basically need a new tub and the entire rear chassis rebuilt. At that point it's basically a new car. So hopefully SLC will support you, but if not, buying another car would make more sense. Best of luck and awesome progress!

Scrap the SLC. Save what you can and recycle the rest.

The exhaust or muffler is in the shape of a rotor. Just noticed that.

Do ya'll guys rock! Y'all take junk and turn into magic! Dude y'all inspired me to get back into working on some of the cars that I've had for years now!

2:32 had me dying 🤣

hi Tavarish i'm french i watch a video of ''rx7 specialities'' and i think i see your car the name of the video is ''REC 3 Rotor SLC Race Car On Track With Mazda Factory 4 Rotor
''

Who else thought that FB ding I. The beginning was theirs lmfao!!

I say fix it. why? Well because you can ask some other KRplusrs to help and get cross-promotion out of it and done cheaper. That's a sweet car and you could make some cool content and do some rad road tracks with that car. Also, the car is a writeoff for taxes anyway right? so there u go. Thanks for some of the best videos yet. my favorite is the rally you and Jared did. Great editing and voice over and storytelling a big A++

Been watching your videos since you first bought Gallardo. Realized I never subscribed !! Awesome content keep it up

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting the old owner of that car. He was a great guy I’ve purchased a autoclutch from him and he even showed me everything about that process. I’m shocked by how small the world really is.

The 2nd wreck that car gets into, if you choose to accept this mission is going to kill someone

Just saw the murci going south on 75 near lake city! Made my Tampa to Atlanta trip!

dudeeee, when i see your videos, and watch you work that fast, in like 2 minutes remove the motor, i wish my mechanic, takes that time for checking my cars, best regards !

I just wanted to say that I really appreciated the Pikachu

That frame is aluminum cans waiting to be made. In the pile!

I really hope you continue with the slc. It looks like I'm in the minority though. And I think putting in a turbo K series or a Ford Barra would be waaaaay more cool than just putting a turbo LS in it.

very impressed with how well you ride the "longboy" Tavarish. If you finish the 355 before next Christmas I'll be just as impressed.

Ferrari purists are going to go nuts 🤣 Can't wait to see the body work & paint

Did anybody mention in the last video that that thing sounds like a weed whacker?

Hey @tavarish doesn't Porsche have a shorter designed transmission you could use? Plus it could be a good idea to save that current transmission for the crashed car if you can get a replacement frame since you know it would bolt right in. Just a thought. Love your work btw.

Hey Tavarish, if you do want to do a kit car build, you should buy slc kit sesto elemento. They were used in need for speed and they don’t look too damaged.

In other words he need us to bother the maker of the car to help him get what he wants

First, even tho I should be asleep it's almost 1 in the morning

My favorite car with my favorite engine! Too bad my VA disability would never give me enough to build one. I will live vicariously though you tavarish.

This is the first build car channel i actually like

Weld it back together, strip it down and make a gocart

Send it to Vtuned, he'll fix all that frame damage in a 15min video!

Good u got motor running👍

I’m interested to know how the new engine will be wired to the Ferrari. Do you plan on using the factory instruments etc? Will you need to fabricate a wire harness adapter? I don’t mean the mechanical fitment that can be done with good machining and fab work. But I’m curious to see how the ecu and other electrical components will be connected

Bromance power!😂
Sad for the car but it seems to be trash...

As sad as it is to say, I think it may be time to bring ol' bessy behind the tool shed ....

Turn it into a PC/console racing simulator chassis. Might as well do something with it.
Hammer out what you need to, build a structure to support the racing sim goodies (pc tower, pedals, steering wheel, monitor/tv mounts, etc), and cover the rest up with a clam shell rear. Throw in some LEDs and paint it. Take what hoonigan did with their drift sim to the next level.

Hi Tavarish, its up to you i will not wast my time to rebuild that. But only if you think it will be of profit to you to do it... love your vlogs keep posting.. thanx for the content..

Tavarish: I can't fix this frame
Chris (bisforbuild): hold my beer

Pretty sure “v-tuned” can fab up and repair this Frame damage easily🤔

For the SLC partner up with Vtuned/Rather be welding and repair the tub/Frame. “You will most probably need directed heat on the bottom of the tub where it’s warped to make it Malleable.” Or buy sheet aluminum as thick as the lower tub, cut it to shape, and weld the rest of the frame to it.

New to Tavarish, and now I know why I haven't seen this project on the channel. Everything is broken.
Like someone here said, strip the useable parts and sell the rest as scrap metal.
