As you might’ve seen from Matt Malcolm’s D1NZ coverage, Mad Mike recently debuted a new power plant in his FD RX-7, a 4 rotor that produces a healthy 583 HP. Here’s a video from the final round of D1NZ. You definitely need to pump up the volume for this one. What a glorious sound….

Song is Hoes(16bit fuck hoes remix) by Borgore for anyone interested ;p dubstep and drifting go ssoooo fucking well together.

2

Hes had this for awhile hasnt he ? or is it another 4 rotor in it now

3

just found this website a couple days ago. i will be here every day from now on. i've always wanted to hear the sound of a N/A 4-rotor. thank you so much for posting this!!!!!

4

dubstep and 4 rotor rx7? sick.

5

2.3L > LS anything... I take my engine F1 sounding over potato potato potato pushrod bs anyday!

6

Badass car !!! 95db? No fucking way.....lol

Thanks for sharing it.

8

oh no he said hes doing a new body and livery!! dont gleb it up mike

9

He should've competed in Formula D with this car, 583hp & it's N/A....

10

Driver makes the car... He's still going to loose consistently.

11

Wait? Did he say he is going to do World Time Attack? I didn't quite understand what he was saying at the end. That would be badass if he turned the drift car into a time attack machine.

12

i love this car to death - thank you forthis one guys!

13

it sounds fantastic!

14

Awsome! Can't wait to hear this aural delight in person when he comes over as part of the WTAC drift challenge.

15

This is grassroot drifting right here he's not like other drivers worring about the car braking so he goes and get a LS like he said in the video so for that my Kudos goes to you Mad Mike

16

The sound of that NA 4 rotor just made my pants wet....the Pagani Zonda only matches this in sound pollution (yet for us car nuts, is PURE AUTOMOTIVE NIRVANA!)

17

Mike is competing in the Tectaloy International Drift Challenge, which is part of the World Time Attack 2011 Event.



Hes going accross with Team NZ which is made up of 5 other top NZ drifters, Gaz Whiter 3x D1NZ Champion in his S14.5, Fanga Dan 06 D1NZ Champ in his Commodore, Daynom Templeman in another RX7, and Curt Whittakker and Cole Armstrong in R34s



If your in Aussie get along its going to be an awesome event!

18

damn what is have? a GOD port??

19

that induction noise is insane... sooo good!

20

This car sounds like s**....Oh my Great work!! Whenever I get into to talking cars with the "regulars" I'll share this for sure

22

so why did he bail out on FD?

23

he didnt bail. he just completely sucked and never qualified for any event.



its called realizing they are wasting money and sent him back home

24

he made top 16 in new jersey. and vegas. probably other events and was awarded most improved driver in formula d. (and best looking car) i think it was a funding issue for him, his wife and little kid. think about it, small guy with decent sponsors yes but still just a low budget set up when you compare it with the massive budget teams in Formula D. he has also said his car is not quite up to competing with the afore mentioned big budget setups. he did well and the new setup in his rx7 is bad ass. i hope he goes back next year with an improved setup. maybe when he does the body and suspension in his fd 7 it might be the machine to go back in.
