The Best FC RX-7 Widebody Kit Ever? The Pandem/Greddy RX-7 is an IMSA/Group B Mashup

- How do you make a FC RX-7 body kit in modern times - and have people do a double take?? Kei Miura specializes in that kind of fiberglass black magic. There are countless kits for the FC, both widebody and non. but this one seriously got our attention at SEMA. So we head out to Greddy to investigate.

I bet it runs pretty strong for an FC ... they were always light, Mazda under-reported the power, and with a new turbo ... I'd imagine it's 350+ at the RW, and maybe 2650 without all the back seats, sound insulation, etc. Nice ride ... (but I love the FD).
Sad I got a mint fc shell in my shop but it’s prob never gonna get finished lmao my other car got totaled while I was pushing it so yeah 🎉
Driving around with no A/C- "I wonder if it sounds different with the windows down." Forever polite Larry Chen😂
Every question he asks reminds me of an 8 year old drop kick brother
@@janeblogs324 you're trying too hard
@@jordanbowey4175 that's exactly what im saying Lchan is doing
RIP to super street magazine, and RIP to all the dreams of building a car and getting it on the cover or even just a feature in the magazine
I had a subscription for super street :/
used to be an FD fan, not anymore! After seeing this I bought my FC and I'll make it exactly like this. Totally in love with it!
Where can you find cheap fcs?
FD all day long but now RX3 and RX2 have priority 😬. Just saw the RX3 front end is available for RX8 …. I want one now bc the 8 properly dropped with fitted wheels looks unbelievably good.
@@alexmartinez280 ik it's available for the FD but the RX8? I've gotta see that
@@karonzi I just bought a clean fc rolling shell with a roll cage for $600.
Friggin Larry Chen ALWAYS bringing us the most beautiful cars. Kinda think he"s the reason cars from the 80s and 90s are going up in price.
I suggest you check out Stickydiljoe...
That's true. Smh
I hope Pantera GTS’s don’t become garage queens by then.
They’re great I love them, who doesn’t?
Really like the old school looking wing. Something about the front bumper being changed reminds me of an MR2, really like this look. RX7s in white just look so good.
Bumper remind me of the conquest or Celica/supra
While everyone was on lockdown I was driving my Rx7 FC in the empty streets.
And ripping it on the highway such an amazing experience, since there's no track near me for miles and miles.
alex miranda I feel you bro, I live on Maui and the closest circuit track is about 3,000 miles away. I would give a kidney to have a real track to drive on.
I took my freshly rebuilt gsr out and third gear pulled my way thru the freeway too. Absolutely howling thru underpasses.
On the autobahn we say that 100mph+ is enjoying corona.
130+ blasting corona and 170+ is corona mayhem. :D
And yes, people do around 200 mph here
Rumor has it... when that dude was blasting around the streets of NY in his Gemballa Mirage GT, he was so high on drugs that when he hit the bump and slid and crashed into the minivan at speed...
He heard Charlie Puth - See you again ear rape.MP3 play from out of nowhere.
Love the waves up front that makes room for the lights.
That's true
Imagine getting an eBay style, or one from Wish? Lmao, it would be soooo off.
This should be the next bodykit on Hert’s new phase/chassis on his “untouched” FC.
I remember somewhere Hert saying he doesn't like this kit
Initial D
@@diltd3989 thats lame, this is properly one of the best looking pandem body kit.
@@diltd3989 he dont like dis kit. It okay
DragonDragon I gotta agree with hert on this one
One of my favorite episodes so far. Good job bringing knowledge and great content for the car community
It's so interesting to see the popularity of tra kyoto these days, I remember having a picture of a white S13 at a gas station with a tra kyoto kit on it as my desktop background something like 15 years ago.
Lol same. I had one of a tra kyoto ef hatch that i drooled over everyday
Hoonigan AutoFocus > Hoonigan
It's clear now
Facts
That's true
This is hands down one of the coolest cars you ever featured on Hooni, and more. In the last few years it seems there is a battle going on for who manages to squeeze the most insane number of horses into their engines, often reaching a 1000 or more, which is insane in a street car, since you're never goin to push it to the limit in the street. This on the other hand, with its magick rotary pushing 350 horses will beg you to fucking floor it and don't get back home till you either run dry or in some kind of trouble.
This car rules on so many levels.
Love the channel more than the main. Lots of good car content is what we all need. I do Corvette and off-road stuff. Going to add some projects ahead. Tuning stuff, datalogging, corner balancing...all in my plans. TH-cam makes for great car content!
Thanks for the support!
Beautiful FC. Harigato Miura Sama. I'd be more scared of damaging the front splitter than missing a shift lol.
Car in background: imma ruin this mans video
It was Michael Essa dynoing his BMW Formula Drift car :D
@@LarryChenPhoto is that video coming soon :D
@@LarryChenPhoto I actually liked hearing it in the background. I was just loud enough but still not so loud that you couldn't hear what they were saying.
Hoonigan AutoFocus > Hoonigan
It's clear now
As a somewhat mid to high level 3d modeler whos modeled some car mods for sim racing games, KEI MIURA is a kegend in my eyes and makes me want to go to the next level to start designing and rendering bespoke kits for all the great 80s and 90s cars. Maybe one day my work will get noticed by a shop and/or also make the effort to partner up with a company that can make the molds and I can have my designs on peoples cars all over the world. I can already Model cars from the ground up and have made some replica race cars with all different kinds of racing body kits but never really thought about going into business with my own designs. So much motivation now. lets just hope the world can go back to normal after the New World Orders COVID-19 Agenda. I doubt thing will ever be the same thought. The entire world is on lockdown and its whole economy is crashing on purpose. Only the Rich, Powerful, and Useful will rise from the ashes from the plan thats been put in motion
This is great but fact that Hector is gonna be running three
Honda Civics with Spoon engines. On top of that, he just came into
Harry's and ordered three T66 turbos with NOS and a Motec system exhaust!
Best comment
A man of culture you are good sir.
Didn't he say motec system exhaust? 😝
2018 comments are making a comeback I see....
*system exhaust 😉😅
I don't believe you had this much footage before the quarantine. You're putting out content at the same pace you always have.
One of my favorite builds of all time
That thing is wild. Thanks for the great content Larry. Keep it up 👍
The sound of this fc matched with no bov and the compressor surge perfectly matches the soul of this car.
This car with this kit has been an all time favorite of mine for so long. Probably my ultimate dream car
Man, the nose lightbar. It just makes the car. Take it off and it's just another widebody car. Leave it and the car is just amazing. Never thought such a small detail could change a car so much.
The front end details, lines and gaps are a throwback to the first generation RX7 and the Triumph TR7 with rally lights
that bmw at 19:43 wanted some smoke
Just effortlessly and quietly sailed past them with no drama > _
That BMW is lame and slow.
I know i have one.
I work in the next building Dzyne Technologies and I see that BEAUTIFUL CAR all the time..👌👌👌👌
I love this build!!! Thank you
The way those halogens are incorporated into the front bumper/grill is so great.
Thank you Larry.
FC is my fav gen RX7 and this build is just absolutely beautiful would love to own something like it one day
OMFG THAT THING IS GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! EVERYTHING on this kit is STELLAR!
Love this kit! I hope they come out with a V2 without the rally lights.
Nice work Larry and nice work on that FC. Clean not overboard. Well done.
Exactly
Love the FC. Love the Pandem kit. Just not loving the front grill rally light look. But from the sides and back she's perfect. Thanks uncle Larry.
This just looks so fantastic!
this car is so beautiful. thanks Larry!
Not sure about those Rally lights but the rest is 🔥 🔥
thats a very nice background music....
Beautiful car, great sounds. Love it!
Gunna do this to my fc for sure. Need to learn to blend the fenders into the body but man I love the detail
Love Kenji and GReddy man!
I love the outro! What a great car!
love the video Larry. is there a video on your visit to TRA?
Dang Super Street stopped making magazines? I had a subscription for years. Was an amazing magazine.
Now THIS is one of a kind
Best Looking FC RX7 Till This Day...
Literally my dream car man. Like I hope one day I can buy a rx7 i would probably get it red tho but I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS KIT
I would have made this build just a little more special with the details because once these cars become rare to find in at least decent condition they’re gonna be sorely missed. Love the car. From the old to the newer models these cars always look great hooked up. The whole video was nicely edited as well.
Thanks guys! Now, I want a FD! Damn so dope!!! 👌
this is lovely
So sick !
FDs are nice, but I'm a fan of the FC.
BTW, lovin' that outro. Keep it!
Awesome bodykit. This would look awesome on the cabrio version of the FC.
It's gorgeous. I love white Guitars Bikes. Cars.. But it does extra scream of Porsche with the flares. I'd do a clear wing section.
Super Sick RX7 FC
Sick build..Thank God we have car builds during this shut down👍
Watching your channel is dangerous to my bank account! You make me want every car you cover! 😂
Wow That Is A Beautiful Rx7 Those Turbo Sounds Amazing
Beautiful ! You are a very lucky man.
Cool kit.
Honestly if that light setup at the front was one rectangular light bar it would be sick a black fc with that kit and a light bar at night would be cool
They are.... just amazing body kits.
Love Larry's videos, Hooligans, Build Biology.....always great content !!
Mazda FC = Porsche 924
Mazda FC + Pandem + Greddy = Porsche 944 lightweight Rotary goodness
This car is so beautiful 😍
We need more video of this 😄
I have the hardest time with kenji shifting to 1st gear when he's just coming to a stop.. riding that throw out bearing hard!
That is truly elegant beast!!! My qualm is those are fender flares and not true wide body panels...there is a huge difference in those...I dont mean to be a jerk but let's show the craftsmen some credit on that ...great video
and where the hell did they get Group b from? I think the title is engineered for clicks. it has fog lights up front. I see the homage but... nothing like a raw group b
edit I take back some of my comment but it's a clean street car and I do see the inspirations of the build I'm not going to doubt what Larry thinks of it he probably has a better broad view of anything automotive than i
@@boxedfender4810 Thanks for watching!
The starting beat fire as hell
just beautiful
everytime the outro hits man... emotions !! hahaha
Best sounding 13b I’ve ever heard
You guys sure seem to be releasing a LOT of videos that were "filmed before the pandemic"
I’m obsessed with hoonigan autofocus.
Sick fc. It is beautiful. I would like to see that thing do some time attack.
haven't dyno'd it yet....dyno tune going on in background for half the interview lol
Well it’s a formula drift car dynoing so that takes priority lol which is understandable
Best show on TH-cam hands down
great bodykit
i have a 87 rx7 fc that is stripped to bear chassis, im going for this build here, trying to find out what they spent in total after final touches. this is the exact build im going for i love it
The older gen RX7s are my absolute favorite dream car... definitely the next build I do after I finish up this civic! Thanks Larry - you're the best man!
Thanks for the support
@@LarryChenPhoto Always!
An amazing FC
I hope Miura-san comes up with a pandem kit for the 1st gen RX-7
That thing looks epic. Its cleannnnnnnn
I want an FC so bad. Awesome cars!
That sound!
I really like that rally inspired front... it's killer
Those tail lights are called "series 5" tails in the FC community. The FC got a minor update in '89, so the '86-'88 cars (series 4) have different tail lights, a different front bumper, etc. compared to the '89-'91 cars (series 5).
new kits for old cars is the best thing ever to happen!
Holy smokes that outro !
checkin that rear view mirror for cops just like I do lol
good spot on Gr. B inspiration...I bet the Gr. B Ferrari 308 was on mind, when the bodykit was designed
The front end looks something like the conquest/starion. Which I also like very much
daaaaammmm n! nice job on making my td04 19g look small.
The best TD04 single turbo FC's I have seen put out around 400hp at the wheels. Which, is pretty damn impressive for a car that lightweight. My S5 FC has a stock Cosmo 13B-RE with about 250ish HP at the wheels and the car weighs in at 2605lbs. Nice setup, but I could tell it was a swap when I saw the tach.
What are you using while recording these videos? Love the content!
This screams BMW M1 on the front end to me.
For me it's a mix of Lancia stratos and ferrari 308 group B, really cool car
944 Porsche
Yup same here I think it’s the combo of the rectangular small marker lights and the angled squared front end
I always liked the FC RX-7, it looked like a Porsche 944. The sound of the rotary engine is unique. Great car this FC!
Nice, I'd love to see a 944 with a similar kit.
Nice I agree!! I have a 77 924 and think this is a good imitation of the Porsches
It would be nice to see a Pandem SW20!!!
Funny when you both rolled down the window it had very " Jurassic" noises coming from it! Very Cool , very Japanese ! Hyper sounds!
