When I lived in Japan from 1995 until 1999, it was at a time during peak Japanese enthusiast car maknig era, I saw the first Type R Integra and then the Civic Type R being released. I noticed that all the major brands, Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Mazda all had different dealerships. These dealerships were not to trick people into believing they were a different automaker, but just to have a certain style. For example the Eunos dealership sold Miatas as well as a bunch of cars only within the Japanese markets such as: Mazda Familia, Mazda Lantis, Eunos 300 (Mazda Persona), Eunos 500 Mazda Xedos 6, Eunos 800 (Mazda Xedos 9), Eunos Cargo and the Eunos or Mazda Cosmo. It wasn't a different brand, it was just a different dealership style, and the RX7 got overlapped between dealerships just for the hell of it. So, a very small portion of people would have bought the Efini version if their local Mazda dealership were out of stock or if there was a discounted bargain price from Efini. Toyota also had the same thing happening among it's dealerships too.

I can appreciate wanting to make you're own stuff but the aftermarket has all of these parts. Elite makes a nice filler neck / catch can setup. Sakebomb has the whole kit for RHD or LHD for IG1A coils that mount in that exact spot lol. Also you don't need twice the turbo, but you do want a bigger rear section, turbine wheel, and housing, but end of day if you're not running a 4in full out you're restricted no matter what. Never had an issue with the factory intake or an elite manifold. Feel like some of the issues are self induced tbh.
i thought those were replacement RE headlights? It sounds kinda confusing how he explained the headlight situation. I guess he meant to open up the RE headlights to add the lights and the boards and the halo rings and stuff, and not to modify the old popup buckets, which are just a bolt off thing. Overall really interesting stuff, its a different take to the Car Shop Glow lights, kinda like these infinity taillights! Maybe go infiniti on the bumper lights as well? would love to see more of it!
Owning a rotary is a lifestyle choice. I had a second gen for 10 yrs without a single issue. Maintenance, baby, maintenance... wishing I hadn't sold it now. Triple black vert on BBS wheels... stupid crazy what I see them go for nowadays
NICE!! he didn't need all the gimmicky lighting, he should have put the lighting budget towards a more eye catching paint job. FD's don't need much added when it comes to aesthetics, they come from the factory super sexy...
Was looking at an 92 efini recently, Re amemiya body kit, and Re amemiya headlights. Couldn't get the guy to send over any info on it. Not door sticker, no paper, no engine numbers... but it has a "good title." One day I'll find a decent seller
RGB is something that needs to disappear like under glow after the early 00s ended. i had no choice but to get them with the PS i got thank god it has an option to turn that trash off, like you cant find good PC stuff that doesnt have that shit unless you pay like 2k for the parts. it also needs to disappear off cars too, distracts other drivers and is to bright on the inside
I work at Mazda back when the RX7 came out. I was in an enginering grouo. They sent a Protype FD. Euro spec. To a group that did Ac kits for Mazda cars. Well it was delivered to my shop. And before I got to it another engineer drove up to me in it. I hate being a passenger in a fast car. Well the crazy man want to see where the speed limiter was at. We hit something like 160. The euro spec did not get a speed limiter.
Idk wut some of y'all r on about but I happen to rly like all like the custom lighting. I do enjoy the pop up headlights on an RX7 but at the same time, it's fun to see someone that has the means and the money to personalize it however they want. And that's the thing at the end of the day. It's not ur car or ur insurance so stop whining about ur fanboy/fangirl-ism and just appreciate a build for wut's gone into it.
The lighting on this car is cringey as hell. The wiring isn't that much different from a usdm car with a few exceptions. Hope you don't plan on using your standard 2 stroke oil or omp with e85. You will destroy that engine. The sakebomb frame rail mount for ign coils is nice and easy to service. All you did mounting them under the intake manifold is heat soak them. I know the jdm rx7s pretty well if you need more info on them.
WAAAAAIIIIITTT wooh wooh, did you just say america didnt get the RX-7 in the 90s really, we got em in Canada in the 90's , but then again we got a lot in canada that the states didnt get certian brands of cars and even motorcycles and that why I started my youtube after my accident and becoming disabled is to show crazy the car scene is here, hell I just met richard hammond and mate rimac went for a ride in a straight piped Enzo last year that was in a Drake video and made friends with Drakes drivers and on occasion chat with Drake, but anyway NO FLEX just saying Canada has ana amazing car culture I just realized I have footage of an autzam in the wild I have used

What’s your favorite failed brand of all time?
Saab.
DSMs probably
Scion
Definitely Saab, because it was a good brand abandoned by the stingy fucks at GM 😒
Pontiac
Those tail lights are wild. I love them.
Also a note on Autozam: most of their cars were either rebadged Lancias, or rebadged Suzukis, with a couple of Mazdas in there, as would be expected by a sub-brand of, well, Mazda
Autozam AZ-1 is basically a Suzuki underneath with some changes too, styling is the thing that is done by Mazda wholly.
And the good old Mazda/Ford collabs
Amati is the US luxury brand intended name. Mazda got the Millenia out of it.
i clicked on the video fully expecting it to be about Amati tbh
Yesssir! Amati was the brand that never happened the 626, millennia, and 929 were all flagship models for the brand. But it never came to fruition.
Probably the best looking set of lights I’ve ever seen! Well done!
What ones? LOL.
I feel like this is an example of when lighting mods go too far 😅
Yea im with you on this😂

I love infinity mirror lights! Such a cool addition to an RX-7. Great geometry in the tail lights for an interesting effect.

Regamaster EVO and SW388 are the best wheels. Clean five spokes are so pretty.

Change the LED color to something static and leave the headlights white, it can be tasteful.
