Dude! You hit the jackpot! From what I can see it has soo many genuine Re-Amemiya parts! AST, Boost gauge with stalk pod, Gearknob, frontend, headlights (with the glas missing), rear wing, door handles, front wheels, fender mirrors, diffusor and even the backbox (named Dolphine tail). If you are going to do a build on this car, dont go Veilside or Rocket bunny. Keep all the Re-Amemiya parts and maybe add the widebodykit (Ad-GT) and do a full Jdm Time Attack look. With all those parts it would be a shame to see something half-assed come out of this! Re-Amemiya is the most prestigious rotary shop in japan and I guess the first builder spent a pretty penny on this car as Amemiya is really expensive.
Agree keep the RE-Amemiya parts, look at the exhaust to see if you have a white smoke at cold start. The white smoke (A LOT OF WHITE SMOKE) will be a tell tell sign of apex seal is going bad or bad and need replace (I have to replace all 3 apex seal). I use to own a FD and it's not too much fun when the rotor goes bad. Abel Ibarra is the Rotary Guy. You can run a little rich on these wankel engines, make sure it never lean you will fried the rotary. Good Luck on the build.
The theme in this RX7 FD Itasha is (Magical Lyrical Nanoha) the waifu in the car is one of the characters called Fate Testarosa. (The Blonde one) Bardiche is her weapon. Fate Testarosa's voice actrees is Nana Mizuki. This is why the sticker "Nana Sound"
Instantly recognised the FD silhouette in the thumbnail. You have to restore this thing and give it a nice detail. The engine sounds like it's blown but rebuilding these is not difficult. Restore it and bump up the power to 400-500hp on mostly stock internals and you're set
Everything on that car is valuable (arguably even the sticker concept) to the right person. That said, if you're keeping it, ditch the twin turbo, get something that keeps the engine happy, and also, check what's going on with the engine, get Dahm to come take a look. That'd be a great collab if you can unglue him from his cars. The Re-Amemiya parts are *muah* chef's kiss. A bumper alone is one grand in decent condition. Whomever owned this, they weren't a slouch, they put a lot of work into this car, that alone deserves respect, don't half cock it.
Rob Dahm is definitely your main man for this thing. We have needed that crossover for years and now is the time. He has the knowledge and now the equipment to help you make that thing super stupid reliable and worth its weight in gold. Do it.
@@UncleDougsGaming rob hasnt devolped nothing it was down here in new zealand that devolped 4 rotors and a 6 rotor rob dahm builds death machines and spends a billon dollars to do what mad mike and PPRE did nearly 10 yrs ago.
In my mind the only sensible thing to do with a FD nowadays is to restore exterior/interior to stock or better than stock, rebuild engine, convert to single turbo and keep it to a power level of around 450 to 500HP at the wheels. Plenty of fast without going overboard. Nice little car that captures the car enthusiast idea perfectly. Demand for these will only increase with time...
I’ve had a few of those and the way to go is remove the “rats nest” of vacuum lines and go single turbo. Keep the power FC and controller, it will be useful! Awesome cars.

That Small Channel That was half its problem, my mum had one when I was a kid, she absolutely loved it, but when it came out of warranty, it was uneconomical to run as the electrical gremlins constantly caused issues, so it she traded back into Mitsubishi against an Evo 6 (I’m from the UK).
In Australia cars are RHD, depending on the brand, they change where the indicator stalk is. In German vehicles the indicator is on the left, in Japanese vehicles the indicator is on the right. Love the vids
I got used to just checking which side they were on for every new car I sat in. I never realized that this was a weird thing. I just assumed the rest of the world was used to the stalks being on either side depending on model too lol
This is exactly what they do in india too...very few German (and some older american cars) have the indicator stalk on the left... everything else has it on the right
Turn signals - it's like LHD cars only when it's meeting market is RHD. In India (RHD) early Fiat Punto, VW etc came like LHD. But almost all cars are with turn signals on RHD
Nathan Sands: Him: That thing is As Southern as speed dating at a family reunion... Tavarish:....What!!??? Nathan Sands: dying laughing 🤣 Me reading Nathan Sands comment: dying laughing 🤣
Check and fix everything engine related, change it to a (not too big) single turbo, give it a proper exhaust, a good robust tune and then fix up every crack and stuff on the exterior and redo the wrap a bit more subtle. A bit of Anime is okay. Just dial everything back a bit. Then you have a dream car.

"Listen Lexus owner!" Ha! That was good. I agree 100% that the FD was the best looking car from the 90's and still holds its own far as looking pretty modern i think. Doing a differnt livery with some anime would be cool that is just a bit on the waytoomuch side right now!!
Stick that 20b you got from an SLC like a year ago in it! So far there’s only maybe like 4 guys on TH-cam with them, and I recon documenting a 20b build in your own style will be a real hit with us JDM lovers 🥰
@Tavarish The Hood is from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's Bardiche Assault is the form of a magic staff or intelligent device used by Fate (the Blonde) in the series. Haven't watched that series for years.
There are so many of these that are modded to the hilt, it would be nice to see a nice clean one. Not necessarily stock, but just a nice clean useable fast-road car, almost like how the lads at bad obsession motorsport have done with project Binky
Keep the body kit, just repair and paint it. Vibration is probably engine related, get angel motorsports to refresh it and guide you on redoing the twin turbo setup, or go to a twin scroll
The RX7 is an automotive classic. Stock it looks awesome. Tuned with body kits it looks awesome. Tokyo Drift Veilside it looks incredible. For me it screams Need for Speed games. I absolutely love Kenji's Bushido RX7 from NFS Carbon. The car in the game looked very good and not riced. Same goes for Aki Kimura's Noisebomb RX7 from NFS ProStreet. Other cool RX7 were the once raced in IMSA even though it was an FC. I even think a 787B Renown livery would look cool on it. The cool thing is there's so many cool liveries and looks that fits the RX7. Very hyped for this project. This car got so much soul. One of my favourite Japanese cars.
5:10 Having driving cars in Japan with fender mirrors, those are MORE PRACTICAL than mirrors on the doors. Seriously, they are way better. Also BMW was notorious for not flipping the wiper and turn signal stalks when switching between right and left hand drive.
That’s such a rad FD! Personally don’t care for the anime stuff so. Keeping it dripping with that kinda classic tech would be legit if it functions well enough, if it becomes too much a headache than possibly go more modern tech if you have to. Keep with the RE Amimiya theme and run there gorgeous wide body kit setup would be gorgeous. As many headaches as the OEM turbo system is it would be cool to see if you could make it work better before going single turbo
Keep it 13b, keep the V-mount. Find a pair of rear RE Amemiya wheels to match the fronts, and... one side of me says the design should stay as wild as it is, and another part of me wants to see just a nice, clean candy dark red paintjob with all that nice RE Amemiya bodywork.
I’m 0% into the anime, but it does really speak to the life and persona of the car. It’s a drift car. Keep it a drift car and build it better than you got it.
I guess the reason cars here in the UK have the same stalks as everywhere else (except Japan, maybe a few other places) is because the stalks are used on the car globally. Take say BMW, they’ll build left hand drive cars for all over the world so use the same for those coming to the UK. At a guess. Never really thought about it until now. Loved Jared’s confused look.
COST CUTTING IS THE CORRECT ANSWER...if changed the engineers would have to design the change, the wiring harness would need modified, the pins in the column would need reversed. The cost to do that to scale is too much
When I was a kid in the 80s the cars my dad had had the stalks the same way as the FD, it’s only when he bought his first foreign car (a VW Golf) that the stalks were reversed. I can remember when he first got it pulling up to a junction and putting the wipers on instead of the indicator. They’re all the wrong way for RHD now.
Freddy is right but the Japanese vehicle must be Import or pre 1995. French Vehicles are built the cheapest. Window wipers are always the wrong swoop side. And the Door Locks are Passenger side on UK models sold after 2001
Back in the 80's I had a Vauxhall Astra and a Lancia Delta that had the stalks on different sides. I was always washing my windows when I wanted to flash my headlights at someone 🙂
I would love for the rx7 to have the same treatment as the murcielago and the mclaren It would be nice to see a clean one with and upgraded interior and a tasteful bodykit
Man, that car with a veilside kit like Han’s car from “Tokyo Drift” and a proper engine fixed and a BOV from HKS with turbo flutter and a large straight pipe with a japanese muffler will be awesomeeeeee!!!!
I think you should keep the livery, it’s part of that car’s identity. I’d like to see you give the engine bay and interior a facelift to match the anime exterior.
Awesome car! Big fan of the FD style. These look so good with the veilside kit. Example, Chan's RX-7 from F&F TD! So sick! But 1st, a complete engine rebuild. It's not smoking a lot, but a simple compression test will probably show the Apex seals are probably toast. Anyway, congrats on the new car and I'm excited to see what you and Jared come up with.
i know you have a triple rotor hiding away, you now have extra end plates to make a quad rotor on a single turbo to make this thing amazing Tavarish. This car will be worth more then your supra if you put the time and a little $$ into it. Looking forawrd to seeing how this turns out! :)
Nice car. I like the livery. When the oil pressure says zero and the engine is making bad noise it is time to turn it off. I still like the SLC better. I think the other guy got the better end of this trade. A fresh LS crate engine vs a clapped out rotary. I have no doubt you'll create something cool and I'll eat my words.
@@IamBATMAN2024 Maybe but take the money and time that is needed to rebuild the clapped out rotary plus whatever mods and power adds he plans on doing and put it in a BRAND NEW LS and the LS would no doubt bury the rotary. Plus rotary engines sound awful its like a john boat mixed with a weed eater. BRRRB BRR BRR BRR BRRRRRB.
Man you gotta keep that anime madness on it if you're gonna ever do any drifting with it, it's part of the car! Imagine the original owner stumbling on it back running again with all that work they put into it. Not everything is for everyone for sure but I'd be stoked if I saw one of my old cars out and about. If you just want to do a clean build or stock-ish street driver then yank all that off and build her up right, thing would look clean with a fresh paint job. Honestly you can't really go wrong either way unless you just let it sit!
I've seen that car in person once in my life and its so sad to see it in such a state...I would love to see the MSLN(anime its showing) FD get back to its old glory
@@Miryn Honestly I do hope it stays, I'd never do something like that to a vehicle I owned ever in a million years...but at some point over the last few years I grew out of caring about if things are my taste or not and just appreciating the time and effort someone's spent on something they clearly care about and enjoy!
Indicating and changing gear in a right hand drive car in the UK is easy, you got the indicator as your hand moved down to the gear stick. Very very simple. Love that it blows American minds though 😂
@@DodInTheSky I think it’s across the board, most guys on the car forums in UK now talk like driving a manual is some sort of witch craft. Banging on about driver involvement and feeling like part of the car. 😂
Please, for the love of god, KEEP IT ROTARY! Maybe get in touch with Rob Dahm and turn it into a sick track car or something but please just keep the rotary whatever you do 🙏
@Tavarish Here is the story of indicator stalks on the 'wrong' side in UK... I come from Malta (EU) and we also drive on the Left, therefore we use RHD steering cars like UK. As Tavarish said, it makes sense that the indicator stalks should be on the opposite side of the gear lever. Keep in mind that the majority of Europe is driving on the Right side of the road, therefore European cars are made with the steering on the Left (indicator stalk on the left) - like USA. So manufacturers that do RHD steering cars, just move the steering stalk to the Right without certain modifications, and that is why the indicator stalk is kept on the left on a RHD steering car. In fact I have a Peugeot 207 that is RHD steering and even the brake master cylinder and booster are on the left with an extension to the right! Now, when it comes to Japanese made cars, for Japan the market is quite large and the cars are purposely made for Japan, therefore Japan imports to UK have the indicator stalk where it should be, therefore at the end of the day, having the indicator stalk on the 'wrong' side is all about costs.
Take some cool photographs of it as it is right now to pay homage to whatever it is then lose the stickers. Replace missing parts paint it a color that will highlight the curves. Fix everything wrong in the powertrain (you don't need crazy power) and update the interior but preserve it's soul (if that makes sense).
My 83 rx7 with a 12a, sounded like that when it blew an apex seal.. I swapped a 13b into it, mixed the fuel 100:1 with 2 stroke. Was a really fun car. Or it might be a compressor wheel in one of those turbos.
Ideas for the engine - use a procharger instead of this crappy twin setup. Linear boost will turn this from night to day. As for the livery - stickerbomb it even more. WAIFU special. And underbody neon, of course.
Definitely need an IG poll for best options for this car, my vote goes for a Veilside Fortune body kit, I.e. similar to Han’s orange RX-7 in Tokyo Drift
I thought I saw this car before haha Now its on Car trek 😎 Makes me miss my 1987 RX7... Loved the flip up headlights! I'll Just keep Driving my 1942 Jeep..... 😎 not fast but its fun!
Don’t you have another rotary engine? Use that in the RX-7?? It needs to fully murdered out in black. Give it the fully NFS underground look. Love all the amazing content and have a great Christmas. From Gloomy Dark England
Sounds like low compression, I think the apex seals are messed up. That's going to be a rebuild, not that that is a bad thing, it looks like a project car that needs a bunch of work from a mile away.
I think your putting together a suburb Fast and Furious collection. You've got the charger, the supra, still have the Civic, the work truck and now the RX7. Get the eclipse back and make a TH-cam movie. Freddie and Ed should be willing to participate.
I'd love to see a 3-rotor placed into that, it's so far beyond stock already, maybe trying to be along the sides of the OEM+ kinda side, kinda like rob dahms

Keeping it dripping with that kinda classic tech would be legit if it functions well enough, if it becomes too much a headache than possibly go more modern tech if you have to. Keep with the RE Amimiya theme and run there gorgeous wide body kit setup would be gorgeous. As many headaches as the OEM turbo system is it would be cool to see if you could make it work better before going single turbo
learn proper grammar please, your comment hurts everyone’s head
@@nemises9k bruh
Keep it 13b, keep the V-mount. Find a pair of rear RE Amemiya wheels to match the fronts, and... one side of me says the design should stay as wild as it is, and another part of me wants to see just a nice, clean candy dark red paintjob with all that nice RE Amemiya bodywork.
Clean stock rebuild. Minor mods to the engine. Overall good starting canvas
all FDs need more than minor mods to the engine. take it from an FD owner, there's no reason to keep one of these even close to stock IMO.
Agreed
Yep have seen the builds out there, would say keep it "daily driverish....." Just like to see saved..
I’m 0% into the anime, but it does really speak to the life and persona of the car.
It’s a drift car. Keep it a drift car and build it better than you got it.
The fat controller laughed: "You are wrong"
I would love to see a wide body veilside version for this car. And like another user wrote, look in your garage, you might have a 3 rotor somewhere.
You got taste man
I like that kit but i don't at the same time. You have to cut so much to put that kit on. Props to anyone who installs this kit on their car
Got to see a real veilside last year and I nearly died
You know. That car gonna be famous if you make that RX7 modified to yellow red suns like initial D. Make it happen man.
Definitely blown up. I’d have Angel Motorsports build a engine for you!
I guess the reason cars here in the UK have the same stalks as everywhere else (except Japan, maybe a few other places) is because the stalks are used on the car globally. Take say BMW, they’ll build left hand drive cars for all over the world so use the same for those coming to the UK. At a guess. Never really thought about it until now.
Loved Jared’s confused look.
COST CUTTING IS THE CORRECT ANSWER...if changed the engineers would have to design the change, the wiring harness would need modified, the pins in the column would need reversed. The cost to do that to scale is too much
When I was a kid in the 80s the cars my dad had had the stalks the same way as the FD, it’s only when he bought his first foreign car (a VW Golf) that the stalks were reversed. I can remember when he first got it pulling up to a junction and putting the wipers on instead of the indicator. They’re all the wrong way for RHD now.
Freddy is right but the Japanese vehicle must be Import or pre 1995.
French Vehicles are built the cheapest. Window wipers are always the wrong swoop side.
And the Door Locks are Passenger side on UK models sold after 2001
Back in the 80's I had a Vauxhall Astra and a Lancia Delta that had the stalks on different sides.
I was always washing my windows when I wanted to flash my headlights at someone 🙂
Transforming it to the rx-7 from initial d would be great
I like how there's just casually a R34 M Spec in millennium jade in that warehouse.
Can’t wait for the car trek Christmas special!!!!
It is the Christmas special right?
Tavarish: My oil pressure is at zero, that's not good.
Also Tavarish: Here we go, proceeds to Cain it.
I would love for the rx7 to have the same treatment as the murcielago and the mclaren
It would be nice to see a clean one with and upgraded interior and a tasteful bodykit
Can’t go wrong with a rocket bunny build tbh. With a tasteful 700hp rotary under the bonnet
Man, that car with a veilside kit like Han’s car from “Tokyo Drift” and a proper engine fixed and a BOV from HKS with turbo flutter and a large straight pipe with a japanese muffler will be awesomeeeeee!!!!
Why would you downgrade from the Amemiya kit
Agree!!!
@@expanddong5925 Because a Veilside kit makes any RX7 lookin' like a super car, even a hypercar. Is the best lookin' kit on the market.
@@nimicdevazut Not really, since the Veilside kit gets rid of the lines that made the FD beautiful in the first place.
check your coils. Mine did that same thing when it was misfiring. a rotary really should have no vibrations.
correct... time to upgrade to GM heavy duty coils, mazda coils SUCK
I think you should keep the livery, it’s part of that car’s identity. I’d like to see you give the engine bay and interior a facelift to match the anime exterior.
Personally I would take it off just to get another one professionally done. This one looks a lil tacky
Love the R34 just hanging out totally nonchalant in that shop.
I hope to see you with Rob Dahm rebuild the rotary. And after that make it a veilside.
Keep the livery and bring it back to life. There’s so much unique JDM stuff you don’t see here. Bring it back to its drift missile glory.
Thank god you got rid of that NFS crap!
Nothing can be better than having good friends that love the same things that you do :)
Awesome car! Big fan of the FD style. These look so good with the veilside kit. Example, Chan's RX-7 from F&F TD! So sick! But 1st, a complete engine rebuild. It's not smoking a lot, but a simple compression test will probably show the Apex seals are probably toast. Anyway, congrats on the new car and I'm excited to see what you and Jared come up with.
*han
The body parts it has is the most expensive kit for the rx7
Definitely a Veilside body kit and paint it like the movie car!. Modernize it a bit like the interior etc. You will have two f&f movie cars then!♥️
Wrap it up like a giant Christmas present and give it to Jared for Christmas.
It would blow his mind.
i know you have a triple rotor hiding away, you now have extra end plates to make a quad rotor on a single turbo to make this thing amazing Tavarish. This car will be worth more then your supra if you put the time and a little $$ into it. Looking forawrd to seeing how this turns out! :)
Nice car. I like the livery. When the oil pressure says zero and the engine is making bad noise it is time to turn it off.
I still like the SLC better. I think the other guy got the better end of this trade. A fresh LS crate engine vs a clapped out rotary.
I have no doubt you'll create something cool and I'll eat my words.
Nah once the rx7 is fixed up it will be worth a lot more than that fake lambo garbage.
@@IamBATMAN2024 Maybe but take the money and time that is needed to rebuild the clapped out rotary plus whatever mods and power adds he plans on doing and put it in a BRAND NEW LS and the LS would no doubt bury the rotary. Plus rotary engines sound awful its like a john boat mixed with a weed eater. BRRRB BRR BRR BRR BRRRRRB.
@@darrellspyker6611 Agreed on all points. I get a kick out of the 4 rotor videos by Mazi but I prefer the nude SLC any day.
As an anime fan, would love to see a recreation of the FD from Initial D. Especially from Stage 5. That would look insane!
honestly id say turn it into the cleanest RX-7 TH-cam has seen!
exactly
Who thought this would be on an episode of car trek? After seeing the sneak peak in this video when it came out, I wondered if it would be in one.
Man you gotta keep that anime madness on it if you're gonna ever do any drifting with it, it's part of the car! Imagine the original owner stumbling on it back running again with all that work they put into it. Not everything is for everyone for sure but I'd be stoked if I saw one of my old cars out and about. If you just want to do a clean build or stock-ish street driver then yank all that off and build her up right, thing would look clean with a fresh paint job. Honestly you can't really go wrong either way unless you just let it sit!
I've seen that car in person once in my life and its so sad to see it in such a state...I would love to see the MSLN(anime its showing) FD get back to its old glory
@@Miryn Honestly I do hope it stays, I'd never do something like that to a vehicle I owned ever in a million years...but at some point over the last few years I grew out of caring about if things are my taste or not and just appreciating the time and effort someone's spent on something they clearly care about and enjoy!
Indicating and changing gear in a right hand drive car in the UK is easy, you got the indicator as your hand moved down to the gear stick. Very very simple. Love that it blows American minds though 😂
I mean, changing gears alone blows American minds. What did you expect.
@@DodInTheSky I think it’s across the board, most guys on the car forums in UK now talk like driving a manual is some sort of witch craft. Banging on about driver involvement and feeling like part of the car. 😂
I didn’t blow my mind. I immediately rented a car in the Bahamas that was rhd and Australia a year later. No issues.
@@Mac_F87 I have an Audi RS3 (Auto) and a 1970’s MGB GT, I know which one is better but the MG is far more involving to be fair.
Yeah it feels good. It's the sane as US. Its just JDM that always throws me. Wipers in at every junction.
Please, for the love of god, KEEP IT ROTARY! Maybe get in touch with Rob Dahm and turn it into a sick track car or something but please just keep the rotary whatever you do 🙏
"Did you eat lead chips? Leap paint as a child" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm dead bro
finally the ultimate conclusion to this amazing cliffhanger
Love the Rx-7 and I love it even more when it's all Itasha-d. Hope he can carry the spirit of the car forward.
@Tavarish Here is the story of indicator stalks on the 'wrong' side in UK... I come from Malta (EU) and we also drive on the Left, therefore we use RHD steering cars like UK. As Tavarish said, it makes sense that the indicator stalks should be on the opposite side of the gear lever. Keep in mind that the majority of Europe is driving on the Right side of the road, therefore European cars are made with the steering on the Left (indicator stalk on the left) - like USA. So manufacturers that do RHD steering cars, just move the steering stalk to the Right without certain modifications, and that is why the indicator stalk is kept on the left on a RHD steering car. In fact I have a Peugeot 207 that is RHD steering and even the brake master cylinder and booster are on the left with an extension to the right! Now, when it comes to Japanese made cars, for Japan the market is quite large and the cars are purposely made for Japan, therefore Japan imports to UK have the indicator stalk where it should be, therefore at the end of the day, having the indicator stalk on the 'wrong' side is all about costs.
@@Blazi3 Interesting! you mean a LH Steering Hyundai Coupe, or a RH Steering one?
All of Europe is left hand drive except the weird British and their colonies (Cyprus in Europe and Australia, new Zealand, japan outside of it.)
@@gregorybasakiotis you forgot Malta & South Africa. Might have missed some myself too 😉
8:44 I just thought cooking timer, so "What are you monitoring", time left until dinner's ready :)
Heres what you should do black it all out add a widebody with a ducktail spoiler with bronze wheels
Should have a word with Rob dahm and get that engine rebuilt 👌👌
that would take way to long
@@hapwasner8021 tavarish isn't exactly renound for his fast rebuilds 😂
gotta keep the anime gauges they are cool and a part of the history.
“Is that RWBY” 8:35
Rootherteeth would be proud
Take some cool photographs of it as it is right now to pay homage to whatever it is then lose the stickers. Replace missing parts paint it a color that will highlight the curves. Fix everything wrong in the powertrain (you don't need crazy power) and update the interior but preserve it's soul (if that makes sense).
My 83 rx7 with a 12a, sounded like that when it blew an apex seal.. I swapped a 13b into it, mixed the fuel 100:1 with 2 stroke. Was a really fun car. Or it might be a compressor wheel in one of those turbos.
Restore it and widebody veilside with a sick interior, tune up the engine aswell this can be such a sick build!
I still have a pair of the original yellow/grey Carbon/Kevlar Recaro black seats from 20+ years ago. True items of beauty.
Don't you still have that 20b sitting around? It would be awesome to see it in the FD.
Ideas for the engine - use a procharger instead of this crappy twin setup. Linear boost will turn this from night to day.
As for the livery - stickerbomb it even more. WAIFU special. And underbody neon, of course.
Best plan with exception of procharge. I think one medium-ish sized turbo and lots of stickers for hp! Send it to the moon!!!
Definitely need an IG poll for best options for this car, my vote goes for a Veilside Fortune body kit, I.e. similar to Han’s orange RX-7 in Tokyo Drift
I thought I saw this car before haha
Now its on Car trek 😎
Makes me miss my 1987 RX7...
Loved the flip up headlights!
I'll Just keep Driving my 1942 Jeep..... 😎 not fast but its fun!
u gotta keep the soul of this thing alive!! dont mess with the livery too much its kinda badass
Don’t you have another rotary engine? Use that in the RX-7?? It needs to fully murdered out in black. Give it the fully NFS underground look. Love all the amazing content and have a great Christmas. From Gloomy Dark England
He actually does have a build Rotary turbo engine laying around
Sounds like low compression, I think the apex seals are messed up. That's going to be a rebuild, not that that is a bad thing, it looks like a project car that needs a bunch of work from a mile away.
For sure could use a full rebuild motor and strip car down and fresh paint clean it up nice..
I think your putting together a suburb Fast and Furious collection. You've got the charger, the supra, still have the Civic, the work truck and now the RX7. Get the eclipse back and make a TH-cam movie. Freddie and Ed should be willing to participate.
I think you should get the veilside kit, that or wide body it. Either way that car deserves to be built properly
Love the Rx7 but was looking forward to see the Falambo finished, would have been very interesting to see.
I'd love to see a 3-rotor placed into that, it's so far beyond stock already, maybe trying to be along the sides of the OEM+ kinda side, kinda like rob dahms
You should replace all the anime wraps with an anime you actually like.
