I appreciate the real approach to videos. Not scripted or anything, it just feels like hanging out talking about cars. I can't believe you found a 10AE for that price! I'm looking forward to seeing your progression on the build. Also, welcome to RX7Club!
As a fellow 10AE owner, it's good to see that someone is gonna take the time to keep it on the road. These cars are often overlooked as just another T2 and no one nowadays seems to understand what these cars are. There are a few that know and appreciate their history and their significance.
i have a spare hatch i was thinking about using on it as the one on it has a bit of rust but then i remembered it has the special bronze tint that only came on this model. so cool
Jeez, fresh engine, haltec ECU, racing beat parts and a tune? Your build is already done lol, you just have aesthetics left haha! Love seeing a nice FC, its a dream car of mine and I think I might finally be getting one this year!
I just bought my gxl fc yesterday from a guy in New Hampshire and trailered back to Maine it had a rebuild and has been ported it needs a full interior and an ecu tune but I love the thing congrats on yours bro I will be watching everyone of your vids on your fc
I've been keeping my eye out for an FC for a while now, although it's going to be a bit before I can put the cash towards one. Really excited to see how this series will turn out and will probably end up coming back at some point as a reference for my FC when I finally get one.
I wouldn't go Tien Flex Z on it. Not rebuild-able for spring rates here in the states when you want to upgrade later. If you are going sub $1300, Fortune Auto or Feal would even be much better options to support your every need down the road. Rebuildable within the states.
@@jimfitzpatrickstuff i just got my first RX-7, same year as that with the motor from an FD, ported, it's such a blast it definitely won't be my only haha
God fucking damnit! 2300 bucks for this? I've been looking a Z31 with digital dash all over for months! And they're all over 12 grand here in Europe. This shit is so unfair.
i'm looking into getting an FC3S (probably not a turbo II), i found a rolling shell (blown engine) with no interior and I'm not sure if the transmission is completely intact. I know it's pretty vague but for a ballpark estimate, how much would it cost to restore to a decent degree? (new paint/wrap, rebuild engine or new 13b, and new interior)
I’m in Reno, BTW. I had no idea the rx8 eshaft was lighter. Drive ability does depend on injectors. I bet you have the rcengineering’s 750cc like I do on my t2. Stock brakes are booshy. No worries. Don’t you have an air fuel ratio gauge? You be rich your whole life but there’s only one chance to go lean. Bypass tein on the 7. There are better, pm me I’m excited to see you bring this to life and breathing fire!!!
@@FacesintheStone thanks man. i'm excited too! i picked up the haltech wideband from nelson at the same time i got the ecu so my hope is that i can run the haltech app on a tablet for all the gauges.
@@jimfitzpatrickstuff right on but a two gauge pillar is made for the left. I have a boost gauge and my afrs in that so I can see it at all times. Those are your bread and butter when it comes to our cars.
Hi nice car and video. I own also a turbo II. Mine is a S5 Turbo. I am planning to remap it. Using a FD fuel pump and standard fuel rails and Intercooler. I like to change the secondary injectors for bigger 1000cc. May I ask how big your secondary injectors are? I am aiming from 250-260 HP. Is this possible with standard Intercooler?
I believe I have 1,000cc secondaries. I was making an estimated 300 horsepower to the flywheel with the stock turbo and stock intercooler so you should be fine. just be careful of heat soak.
keep in mind there are other mods you may want to do like upgraded fuel pressure regulator. I would recommend posting questions on the RX7 forums. people on there are super helpful and way more knowledgeable than me
@@jimfitzpatrickstuff Heat soak, you mean the engine will produce more heat because of the extra HP? Or the intercooler is on the small size to cool the incoming air? Yes, thank you for the advice much appreciated. My S5 is original and has also a brand new engine. I like to keep things stock looking. On the forums they say stock FC fuel rails are good for Max 500 HP. 300 HP would be very nice with some little modifications. FC's are 30 years old cars but they are still very fast. Do you have more video's of your RX-7?
the stock intercooler is fine, especially if you have the rubber boot that seals the hood to the intercooler, but you may get heat soak on hotter track days where you are pushing it lap after lap. when you free up the exhaust and intake to achieve the extra horsepower you may be running more boost than stock which can create more heat.
too much lol. it was all gunked up from the last person who had rebuilt it so there was a lot of labor and then the addition of the aviation apex seals, rx8 shaft, and rb flywheel all added up.
This was cringe af. First, 300whp my a**. That s4 turbo can't. So much fluff and nonsense talking about the running down of an old classic rotary. You should sell it to me or someone who might save it.

thanks. yeah I always loved one take style videos.
I did some iRacing videos in a similar style if you like sim racing.

Can't wait to see more of this car. I've always wanted to get an FC. Music and style is really dope too!
same here, it’s been my dream car for quite some time
Those are goals for my future rx7 fc. Road trip and sleeping in it

Muscle cars in the 90s were a fail

better than a netflix series !
LET’S GOOOO I’m buying my fc next month, super excited and gonna follow along with you
How's It been with the car?
Awesome, can't wait to see another 10% finished FC!!
I have nearly the same fc, :) cant wait to see what this becomes
Hopped over from the fc classifieds fb group, can’t wait to see where you take this build!
Jeez, fresh engine, haltec ECU, racing beat parts and a tune? Your build is already done lol, you just have aesthetics left haha!
Love seeing a nice FC, its a dream car of mine and I think I might finally be getting one this year!
ty buddy!

Underrated era of cars

My friend is highschool got one rebuilt it now it has over 200 thousand miles shooting flames everyday
I'm buying a 1988 FC tomorrow, super keen. It's only an NA Auto, but nothing some ebay and elbow grease can't fix.
nice! add me on insta so i can follow your build @no_0ne
seen this video 3 times now. love the fc and the video, can't wait for part 2!
cant wait to see what you do with this thing. i too am in the middle of building my FC
NICE. I HAD A RED 1990 TURBO2 WHEN I WAS 18.

Hmmm cool!
Can't wait for the rest of the episodes. And how you will build the FC.
Great video, i can't wait to see more on this car!
WOW, left and right directional wheels, worth alot.
i curb rashed one of them the day i picked it up. it felt so bad lol
Great find for your TII FC!
Literally one of my dream cars
More of the RX7 I need a startup !

Just subbed looking forward to seeing your progress with this project but please for the love of god change the tail lights
Your doors swapped
good eye.
ya gotta get some s5 tails

Nice, good music too
God fucking damnit! 2300 bucks for this?
I've been looking a Z31 with digital dash all over for months! And they're all over 12 grand here in Europe.
This shit is so unfair.
haha I picked this up a few years ago, now the prices are pretty high. good luck with your z! I love those things
2,300??? isn’t that a 10th Anniversary?
it is!
Wow 😳🤯 I bought my tenth ae for 2500 but that was 7 years ago... My other tenth ae yes I have 2 is a project and paid 2k 3 years ago..
PIZZA DELIVERY FC!!
i'm looking into getting an FC3S (probably not a turbo II), i found a rolling shell (blown engine) with no interior and I'm not sure if the transmission is completely intact. I know it's pretty vague but for a ballpark estimate, how much would it cost to restore to a decent degree? (new paint/wrap, rebuild engine or new 13b, and new interior)
not sure if you could piece together a complete interior but an engine rebuild and paint could be done between $3-5k
part 2 ??
Good stuff man, Hollar at me I have the same cars.

I found a Ford Pinto swapped FC for 800 thats been siiting for 6 years do you think its worth reviving
if the chassis is good it could be worth a lot even with no motor.
Where’s episode 2?
part 2 coming soon. need to film one more piece for it.
Maaaan i really want a rx7 fd so bad

Episode 2 when? :(
soon I hope :)
what happened to the car ? there's no video about it that'll release ?
yeah it is still in the works
Ooh where is part 2
coming soon hopefully
Update on this car plz
where and how to buy an Fc rx7??
they are getting harder and harder to find. you just have to keep looking.
Still have the car??
yep. can't wait for the first drive 🙂
@@jimfitzpatrickstuff same same. Currently have my block taken apart, should be getting assembled this month hopefully 🙏🏻
I hope you balanced the rotors since you swapped e shaft and flywheel... That's kinda a big no no...
Would you ever sell her 👀
possibly. i also have a 86 gtu shell i should probably part ways with
@@jimfitzpatrickstuff got any pics I would love to check it out 💯
@@isaacuribe47 not sure if i have any recent pics. i'll add some to my insta: @no_0ne

2300 bucksss?????
1986
how much you pay for the rebuild??
too much lol. it was all gunked up from the last person who had rebuilt it so there was a lot of labor and then the addition of the aviation apex seals, rx8 shaft, and rb flywheel all added up.
@@jimfitzpatrickstuff 10K?
Which mega man stage is this song? lol
lol
2,300 or 23,000
where da update
coming soon. need to film one more piece for part 2
Wait....all this and you didn't even turn it on for a soundclip? Ehh.
soon 😉
@@jimfitzpatrickstuff lost me already man. Gotta really entertain people off the bat. If you're going to show exhaust and motor etc...
1j swap
Good vid. I could do without the back music
Do not ruin that car! it must be painted white again and you must redo those seats! No tom foolery
haha redoing the seats will be $$$$$$$ but I'm definitely keeping them. same with the matching white s4 tails
Omg you just keep going... those are 750 secondaries. I'm pretty sure you are just trying to regurgitate what some scammer sold you in his story.
please visit chanel pengepul mobil , he also build this car
This was cringe af.
First, 300whp my a**. That s4 turbo can't.
So much fluff and nonsense talking about the running down of an old classic rotary.
You should sell it to me or someone who might save it.
