    I get it guys Ya wanna hear the engine not the music. Im the same, BUT the problem was that the audio from the rolling shots was heavily compromised by wind noise. That and we were still using the back half of a standard V6 exhaust. To the point of there being little to ZERO noise from the car for the majority of what we filmed. The car got louder as the day / that drive went on and the exhaust got molested by those dirty hot rotor pulses. The engine noise you CAN hear in the clip has been DUBBED. 80% of it DID NOT EXIST. Is it great? No , but Im an amateur. We couldn't reshoot as we were out of time. The use of music helped me hide the fact that I had dubbed the same 3.5 second clip of engine noise in repeatedly. Sorry to ruin the magic but for some reason I feel like I need to explain myself. Hopefully we will create a video next that everyone will like. Well at least those who like brap noises. I hope that this explains the situation. I try.
    TLDR: You wanted noises. I did my best to give you noises.

      Na, it’s the act that really mattered. And for those with true taste (brap lovers) we can always superimpose that lovely tone over the top of anything if the reality doesn’t supply 🤘🏻Keep up the good work!

      I was one of the complainers about hearing music instead of engine sound. Thanks for taking time to explain. Ive always been fascinated by the Mazda roadpacer so I had to click when I saw the video. I think your content is great I reckon it's sick youre skillful and crazy enough to upgrade the VN like that. I should have said that in my other comment instead of just being negative. So yeah looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.

    It will need a set of 4.44:1 diff gears or something like thar, the Mazda Roadpacer (aka HJ Holden Premier) was fitted with that 4.44:1 1 tonner diff ratio in Japan, believe me,a 202 Holden six cylinder powered one of them had a top speed of 100 km/h but not the Roadpacer which had a top speed of 160 km/h.
    I know that Andy Perrett runs 4.11:1 diff gears in the Ford 9" diff in his turbocharged 20B powered HQ Holden Kingswood & it goes very well with a power output of 309 kilowatts of power & 600 Newton Metres of torque !

I was getting Rotorworx to do the install & it was all mounted in and getting close to running.. when I got a forum message saying the shop had folded and my car was out on the street and I'd better come collect it. No notice from them and heaps of parts missing so the project ended there unfortunately (thanks scumbags!!).
