Yellow is the fastest color.
i thought it was red
That's why it's called "Race Yellow". Now it all makes sense
I hope so too 😎
Nope its the person
@@rotaryhill4826 yellow person is the fastest?
“Across country in a Rotary RX7 and a K-Swapped RX7”
"What could go wrong?" 😅
@HANGTIME 7190 V.2 In theory yes, although the K was a full swap. So as much as I trust Andy, there's still a chance for stuff to go wrong lol
@@TheIggyTech You can follow the road trip on their Insta. The K Swapped Rx7 has already needed minor fixes twice... Meanwhile the rotary has been reliable lol
@@hipster_tacos indeed I've been watching it! And I'm not trying to say rotary or K swap is better, it's just that any modified or swapped car is gonna have greater reliability risk on a road trip.
@@hipster_tacos Sort of the opposite of what we've been led to believe.
Those Advan GTs look so good on the 7. They should be on there permanently haha
I definitely don't hate them.
@@GearsandGasoline They make the car look like the MAOU Feed RX7 from Hot Version haha, not necessarily a bad thing I suppose
@@GearsandGasoline please use them! They’re so sick
@@sunnylam2284 exactly what I was going to say
Almost 200 ppl agree haha
I seriously got so much excited when he said we're taking out RX7s on a road trip.
If you have an instagram give their page a follow, they have been posting a lot of behind the scenes on the roadtrip on their stories
@@liamlyda2116 yeah I saw their post on Instagram it will be all 50 states i think
Same, can’t wait for it!
@@alialobaidi8393 48 states, but it's still crazy that they're covering the entire country
That Tochigi prefecture number plate, where Project D's expedition started.. Fitting for the car..
I see your a man of culture.
Even though he was complete shit on the track
@@tabryis At least he has rx7 :/
@@link-kun5974 who tf cares about an obscelecent dorito? I dont
Those last few minutes on the mountain road must be like achieving nirvana. So jealous of your amazing car.
personally i like climbing more than downhilling, but reaching the peak and the view and sounds is so amazing
u know which road is that?
@@beastmaster645 looks like skyline drive, but I'm not sure
@@beastmaster645 He’s driving rt 501 between Snowden and Glasgow Va.
@Gears and Gasoline - Can we just have that montage of the mountain road rip by itself as an A/V clip?
"What is the best color in FD and why is that color yellow?" -noriyaro
Yellow,red and white
Easy... Its yellow. Why. Ryosuke Takahashi. Do I need to say more?
@@FreakyCaptainGenius You mean Keisuke RIght?
The yellow looks good
@@vintage-genes yellow and red dope
Yes!!! I’ve been waiting for this!
Ben & Ben, miss you two studs and can’t wait for you two to meet the twins!
I can't wait to be an uncle!
Gears and Gasoline once your an uncle you can make Uncle Bens Asian Rice 😋
Your twins or the cars?
I closed my eyes during my second viewing of the mountain run. Music to my ears, yes that what an RX7 should sound like. I highly appreciate people keeping the rotary legacy alive, RX7's should always have a rotary as its beating heart.
hands down one of the best rx7 i’ve seen - “simple and clean”
Emmm...great color! It reminds me of Keisuke and his FD from Initial D.
These guys are ballsy, looking UP and cleaning the undercarriage w/ no safety glasses
fr, just dropped rust in my eye the other day XD
A proper mask would be wise too
I don't know about ballsy. Is there a not-so-mean word you can use instead of "stupid"?
LoL yolo, that’s why you safety squint duh. LoL
Just want to say that I love these videos. The camera angles/editing are excellent, and you're well spoken and not trying to act cool on camera so it's a pleasure watching and listening to you talk about your car. She looks beautiful so far!
Ben, you’ve made a masterpiece of a car. The license plate, the wrap, the wheels, the spoiler, the exhaust, everything. That drive at the end of the video gave me goosebumps. Great work!
Good to see that there is one RX-7 that’s being kept a rotary
Thats a cool pfp you got there, not only because the new supra but also because its Ghost MF
MF Ghost :)
God it sounds so damn nice when you’re cruising on those mountain roads 🤤
Hope you make an update of what the undercarriage looks like after this winter, heard lots of conflicting stories on the dependability of rubberized undercoatings. Love the build!
Yeah it will be interesting. The danger is trapping moisture beneath the rubber coating, that's worse than leaving it exposed. That's why we were aggressive about drying off the surfaces we were about to coat.
@@GearsandGasoline unless you plan on never driving on wet/snowy roads, moisture will get under it.
@@GearsandGasoline If it doesn’t hold up, I recommend trying POR15, I applied it to my Ram last year and the underside still looks as if it rolled off the assembly line. Would make a good video too if the need for it arises. Hope for the best
@@GearsandGasoline Temporary spray coatings like fluid film work better in my opinion, they create a moisture barrier that water cannot pass through. They eventually wash off, but they usually last a whole winter.
Absolutely loving the transformation on the FD!
Love the pure sound at the end. Breath taking. The flames are pretty spicy, too.
I only watch this video several times a day for the pure drive at 15:18 . No music, no voice over, just engine, turbos and exhaust and some tyre squeel.
Holy crap that’s the cleanest CD I have ever seen and it sounds so good
16:00 Do you also see the wrap coming off? 😂
Normal people looking at Ben's FD : Oh look, its a bumblebee!
Anybody with any braincell left should know Americans dont give cars that kind of curviature or reliability or mod potential.
I still love the 2008-2012 model Camaro SS
Be careful ben... Ruberrized undercoatings when they get scratched up accumulate debris and moisture between the metal and the coating which accelerates rusting. Some cars here don't look like it but are actually rusty as all hell underneath what looks like a pristine undercoating
Man this thing is unreal 😍 that exhaust is perfect for that car, exactly my cup of tea, sounds amazing especially with that turbo spool 🥴🥴
i was finishing my design but got stuck on idea. got on youtube and there's new G&G video, perfect timing!
Considering Thorn/other Ben K-swaps everything we shall in return we K-swap his name.
so your opinions are ether K-en or K-orn
Discuss bellow
On the brink of crying while watching one of my dream cars rip through the vacant mountain roads. The content G&G creates is amazing. It`s captivating on a whole separate level.
That ending driving montage was glorious. Long live the rotary.
Love this build. Thanks for leaving it a Rotary.
Random idea for next road trip: classic cars. I’d say anything non fuel injection goes.
510 vs celica
you know, i usually do the trick when you skip the video until the end, and then replay it so i dont have to watch any ads. but for you guys? i'll watch every single ads for you :) KEEP MAKIN A GREAT CONTENT !!
next time you decide to undercoat one of your gems. may i suggest fluid film. its what i use in Pa on all my VA bought vehicles. props to your state for not using salt!

Y’all are hands down the best automotive content producers. I can’t wait to see y’all hit 1 million subscribers! We can’t wait to see the next video 👍👍
Not a JDM fan but I am enjoying this series...👍
The one day I get up on time for the best part of Saturday morning, amazing!
Problem with the rubber-stuff (and why it's usually not that good a choice): One scratch, one forgotten spot, and you might just as well not have it.
Also, it loves clogging up drainage holes.
Not just, might as well not have done it, it’ll be worse on the car than not doing it.
Fluid film!
Love what you have done so far the the RX7. But honestly you guys could drive anything and modify it and I would still watch the videos. Looking forward to the road trip video coming out again. The previous ones were a blast to watch. Keep up the good work!
So satisfying to see that FD rolling by on the mountains with just the sounds and the looks!
Ayyy im early
Quarantine is not boring with gears and gasoline videos
The roadtrip videos are probably one of the best TH-cam car video series ever. Can't Wait!
I know that mountain! It’s a nice drive. If you want a great straight test spot that’s nearby in Glasgow, google earth Lonejack Rd Glasgow, Va. It’s next to an open field, and railroad. Next to a rock quarry and no one drives it. Great spot for testing launches or just kick it. Freshly paved too!
The main issues with using synthetic in a rotary are as you said, it doesn't burn as well and leads to excessive carbon build up which is likely why the rotors in my sub 19,000 mile renesis 13B had so much carbon on the rotor faces when I pulled it apart for a 9 year storage refresh. The other issue is that if the engine has always been run on conventional oil since break in and then you switch to synthetic it can have a negative effect on the bearings which is why racing beat recommends breaking in on conventional and then switching to synthetic, if you choose, from there, but of course this assumes you don't plan to retain the OMP or it's already blocked off. On the large streetport 13B I built for my 1980 SA22C I removed the entire OMP shaft assembly and tapped & plugged the OMP port on the iron as I never intend to run an OMP on it, but I still choose to run castrol GTX conventional oil in it and same as my RX-8 as the oil analysis test i've done using 10W40 in the winter and 20W50 in the summer showed 1/2 the average bearing wear (on the RX-8) and is more than sufficient for a daily driven rotary as it's cheap, readily available on local shelves and works very well.
The thumbnail and video......is soo beautiful you guys got some insane video skills
I order parts from advance auto as much as i can simply because they sponsor your videos. I cant get enough of these vids specifically because of the shots of the mountain shake down which was A1
I used to own an Rx7 FC and that rotary engine sounded so good! Yes its a pain to have to premix, but its worth it.
Add more driving clips! It does look like you are enjoying it, don't lose that. Enjoying the channel keep it up.
Love the amount of detail you guys put in your video. the clips at the atout parts store to the sound of water dripen off the rx7
Thank you somebody who puts and underbody color this is so important
The flame shots from the exhaust were awesome!
Highly recommend getting some dedicated premix from Rotary Bum and pouring it with the gas. Since you still have the omp, you only need to run .5 oz per gallon. Also, please let the engine idle and cool down for a few mins after a run. Love the FD!
It feels like forever since your last upload
Short Ben hasn’t been posting
Replaced Saturday morning cartoons with gears and gasoline. Love the build.
Great video especially the drive at the end. Seeing the FD with the Japanese license plates felt like I had been transported to Mt Akina. I was hoping that a certain panda Trueno would show up and overtake you. Love the build, looking forward to your next adventure cross-country!
I love your channel. Truly your own thing. It is like no other on TH-cam or TV! Can’t wait till you guys hit a mil!
@11:35 “Once I switched to synthetic, I dont lose oil from the oil injection”.. 🤔 I hope that thing isnt failing! I would HAVE to premix, its not hard and as long as you’re responsible, I think it will far out perform the metering pump.
yeah seems wierd to me too. It should not be different for the oil measuring pump if the oil is synth. or mineral. It should matter only for apex seals. Better check it regulary and add more premix if necessary.
idk how someone could dislike this video, so well edited, so well filmed, on a awesome car.
So excited for the road trip series, I had a feeling that’s what was coming and excited to hear that it’s confirmed. The car is looking beautiful and I have a strong feeling it will perform well. Glad your enjoying the rotary life mate!
I would love to see another road trip. U guys nail them with ur skills. I have already watched ur all 3 road trips like 4 times each
Been watching you guys for years and the production of the videos still amazes me. You have an incredible future ahead, that's for sure!
You mad men with the quick editing before the trip!
Is it just me or is that wrap starting to peel in a lot of places? Awesome vid, Ben. Can't wait for the next cross-country journey!
Brilliant! Well done, Sir. Looking forward to seeing what Thorne has in store to finish his. Road trip sounds awesome too!
That's officially my favorite series. Besides the one when you and short Ben took the miata and the civic on a road trip.
I’m learning so many things about FDs from this series ... really interesting so far!
Excited for tour of the rx7😁keep it up gears and gasoline
When you pulled out with the GTs on. i was like oh myyyyy. They def belong there!
That turbo rotary sound amazing. lucky not live in California, all these are out the windows. Great content... keep up.
Dont use rubberized under seal, it will trap the water and eventually fail. Use a type of oil or film that is applied wet (lanolin oil etc)
I LOVE the yellow wrap, car shop glow tails and rotary motor in this thing
You guys need to come to NYC for 7’s day. NEED TO
The rubberized coating is good but you have to prep it absolutely mistake free and also maintain it or it can actually trap moisture and just make rust worse. Just a heads up!
This thing looks absolutely awesome!! Good luck on your future build with it! Cant wait to see more updates on it for next year!
Love how laid back this series is as opposed to other build series
Looks absolutely gorgeous great job Ben. I’ve owned a rx8 never again because I want the Rx7
Gears and gasoline is my adult version of Saturday morning cartoons. Awesome videos like always, love the yellow!
Yessss cross country road trip again!!!
didn’t know how i felt about that wing in the first but boy i sure like it now
Pretty neat running into you in Idaho and finding out about this channel. Love the cars and love series that go on adventures. Both cars were dirty as hell and absolutely beautiful.
Rubberized undercoating causes rust by trapping moisture. Something like FluidFilm works much better for protection and it can easily be washed off if need be
Just needs some side skirt extensions and would be perfect. I like the winter wheel set up better than the summer lol
OMG that plate reminds me. I haven't watch Archer in a while. Archer: Lana!...LANA!!!.................LAANAAAAAAAA!!!!! Lana: What?!?!?! XD
You really need skinnier wheel/tires for snow... 255’s are just going to float
Only if he’s going through fresh snow which I really hope he ain’t gonna do in a rwd rx7
I had a 97 civic with 185 snows on, was basically a wrc car. Everyone gets so upset because they are stuck doing 5mph because of their bald tires.
Not gonna lie seeing the rx7 go down that road gave me some initial d vibes with that big wing on it too. Ooof looking amazing
Can't wait to see more rx7 content,rotary or not! I have always loved the road trip vids,please keep them coming
I was just getting more into RX7s this week and this vid comes out
The FD RX-7 is my #1 dream car along with the R32 GTR in #2 and the EVO 6 in #3
id definitely go for a slightly shinier set wheels, but dark still, sort of to both accentuate the pop and shine, and contrast with the brightness at the same time.

TLL BEN. That mountain drive was amazing.
the subtle turbo whistle makes it perfect
Looking forward to your next road trip..lets see which Rx7 is better this will be a good comparison..
Yes another long long road trip.. goodluck guys.. and safe trip.. more power gears and gasoline.. 🇵🇭
watched this build series AFTER you guys took the rx-7's on the road trip and let me say i lost it when i saw you ask about the guy's blonde hair lol
Hell yes! Another road trip... Those were why I subbed!
Omg the dress up bolts are 🔥 Can’t wait to see the final product of both of the rx7!
Omg that rotary sounds angelic as always! Kinda wish you’d go with the old fashion AZN on the plate. 😄
I should have started making videos back in 2006 when I bought my FD RX7. I started vlogging in 2013 when I bought my R33 GTR Vspec.
I was checking thia channel daily, waiting for the update...and finally
This channel has been an awesome entertainment for me who cannot afford any of these cars on this channel
