In the latest episode of Larry Chen's incredible automotive adventures, he finds himself in the presence of greatness. None other than the legendary James Deane and his jaw-dropping four-rotor FDR7. Larry, with his usual charm and wit, manages to pry James away from his adoring fans to get the inside scoop on this latest iteration of the iconic build.
It's clear that James Deane is no stranger to the limelight, as Larry jokingly suggests he might need a security guard to keep the fans at bay. But amidst the frenzy, James expresses his love for coming back to Ireland, where his career first took flight. It's a place filled with familiar faces who have been supporting him since the early days, and the sentiment is not lost on him.
Larry takes us on a trip down memory lane as he reveals that he had the privilege of photographing this very car back in 2012. But oh, how times have changed! The car has undergone a remarkable transformation since then. Gone is the SR20 engine, replaced by a dream-come-true rotary engine. It's a testament to James' unwavering determination and his pursuit of perfection.
As they delve deeper into the details, James shares the story of how this car came to be. Originally built in 2009 after a crash at the Red Bull World Drift Championships, it started its life as an S14 with an SR20 engine. But as James' driving career progressed, he realized that a chassis with a 2J engine made more sense in terms of competitiveness and reliability. However, the dream of a rotary engine never faded, and now, after years of waiting, it has become a reality.
Larry's excitement is palpable as he describes the sheer joy and satisfaction that radiates from James when he fires up the four-rotor beast. It's a sound that has captivated generations of racing enthusiasts, and now, James is a part of that legacy. The car, still fresh from its completion, has undergone significant changes, from the steering rack positions to the suspension. It's a labor of love that came together just in time for Larry to witness its glory.
The final result is nothing short of breathtaking. The car's body kit, inspired by the classic Falcon Scout delivery, is a sight to behold. From a distance, it resembles a triangle, paying homage to the iconic 787b. And let's not forget the wheels, adorned with gold accents, a perfect match for the car's overall aesthetic. It's a visual feast that complements the symphony of engine notes that emanate from the four-rotor masterpiece.
