Yes, you are absolutely correct. It is always a great practice to get the engine to operating temperatures before turning off. Failure of doing this can lead to your engine being flooded or eventually fouling plugs. I will be making another video soon with more do not do items.

Indy 500 another great race. It is a bucket list item for me.

Yes. The front wheels are 18 inch 255/35 on a 9.5-inch wide wheel and an offset of 38. The rears are 18 inch 285/30 10inch wide wheel 35 offset.

@@arrivendrive6831 Thanks, love the way the car sits

Thank you.

Thank you!!

Thank you. Being a good father is extremely important to me and he has earned the trust to drive the RX7. It was a very enjoyable moment for both of us.

Thank you, Damien. This it what drives me to create videos. Some are for entertainment, but I also like to give back to the car community with educational videos.

Thank you. I am going to make some more videos to help th car community.

The differential was just fine. I removed the old worn-out bushings in the differential and replaced them with super pro bushings. It was a great upgrade.

Both setups are great. I really like my rotary extreme vmount, but my one complaint is that it is hard to find a way to feed cold air into my k&n filter. If I had to do it all over again, I would buy the Greddy. I really like how Greddy did the tank pipe, and it leaves room for a ram air intake. The rotary extreme does have a larger intercooler for higher power cars. If you are not going over 600rwhp, the greedy should be more than sufficient. Thank you for your comment, and I hope I was able to help.

90c is good. My hardest run on the mountain I was at about 81c, but on a hot Florida stuck in traffic, I can see temps of 92c. The vmount intercooler really helps.

@@arrivendrive6831 which v mount set up you running ? Thank you

@@manuelmesa6405 I am running the Rotary Extreme Large vmount setup. The system was engineered by the team that ran the Falken Rx7 drift car. I really like the system.

All for a worthy cause

Pushing the engine into the ketchup is very important. The rotary engine basically needs to be treated like a race engine every once in a while to keep it healthy

Thank you. It was the best road I ever driven in my life.

@@arrivendrive6831 in your honest opinion do you think a fully studded/built billet turbo Rotary could live past 100,000 miles? With proper care?

There is absolutely no reason why a rotary engine does not last at least 100,000 miles. My engine lasted 110,000 miles until I dropped it off for paint. I left the car at the shop with very little fuel and the painter got into boost on a joy ride and popped my engine. The current engine has about 20k on it and runs super strong. Never run a rotary car hard on less than a quarter tank. The hard acceleration will slosh the fuel away from the fuel pick up line and cause the engine to starve of fuel and die. The key is a good engine builder, good tuner and good maintenance. If you are interested in more information I will post a video if you like. My viewers are very important to me.

@@arrivendrive6831 thanks for the information 👍🔥🔥

I driven two cars on mountain roads. A 2012 chally 392 and the rx7 Fd. I can tell you the RX7 runs circles around the chally. Driving the FD feels as though the engineers at Mazda engineered the rx7 specifically for mountain roads. It is a very good car and underrated, in my opinion. I drove it hard for multiple runs on the mountain, and it is still running on its motor that got freshed up in 2016.

I totally agree with you and I bought a GOPRO 12. WE ARE GOING 4K. I have some new videos in 1080p. I also purchased a 4k SD card for video in 4k

The Dragons Tail. 318 turns in 11.9 miles

Thank you so much.

@@arrivendrive6831 The

It's definitely important in the RX8. A red line a day keeps the rebuilds away.

It was my first time and I totally loved it. Thank you, and I will remember this for the deals gap rotary rally in 2025.

Thank you so much for your comment. We enjoy bringing the sounds and sights of the car to you and others. Thank you for watching.

For red line cleaning, check out my video of my 16 year old revving it into the redline. The video title is RX7 16 yr old revs/redline I fall.

because he didn't need to

I was blow away on how great the road was and how well the Fd performed. My speech was impaired from the joy this meet brought me and my son.

Kyle, we have to get out there together, man.

I apologize for the unstable video. I am very knowledgeable about this car but working on my video skills. I hope that you may have gained some knowledge about the RX7 FD.

@@arrivendrive6831 I had to stop watching the video but appreciate that you put it out there for others who got something from it. Please work on steadying the camera. I believe some people think it's artistic to have the camera unstable. I'm here to tell you that's not true. It's a massive distraction. Separately, I owned a 1988 RX-7 SE. Bought it used when it was only a couple years old. Loved the car. Learned to drive stick in that car. Later realized that if you can smoothly shift that generation of RX-7, you can drive any other manual very well. What I mean by that is that the 3rd gen RX-7 shifted smoothy into 1st gear only if gas was applied at almost the moment the engine would stall. If gas was applied a little too early, the engine/transmission would be jittery on initial acceleration. Fast forward to today and I have been driving my 2004 VW GTI, 2.8jL normally aspirated V6, 6-speed manual for 20 years this November. I'm the original owner and only driver. The car has 170K miles and the original clutch. Mostly highway driven, but still, I take care of the clutch, and I attribute this to the way I learned to drive my manual RX-7. I've always been interested to know how the FD RX-7 shifts. Back in the mid-90s the FD was an aspirational car for me. Now I feel it's too late to buy something that old after it's like changed hands a lot of times, and probably been modded poorly. Regardless, I still like to look of all three generations of the RX-7. All a're rare. Autotrader shows one particular 1995 RX-7 that looks like it's been very well kept, but I can't see myself buying it for $65K. If I owned the car in the 90s and was able to hang onto it all these years, I would never sell it, but to buy it used at this point, I can't justify the money and likely maintenance headaches without fully knowing the car's history. I any case, I share your love for the FD RX-7. I also liked the 1991 anniversary RX-7. Here'sthe one that's for sale that I mentioned: www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicle/698208983?allListingType=all-cars&city=Anaheim&makeCode=MAZDA&modelCode=RX7&newSearch=false&referrer=%2Fcars-for-sale%2Fall-cars%2Fmazda%2Frx-7%2Fanaheim-ca%3FnewSearch%3Dtrue%26searchRadius%3D0%26startYear%3D1993%26zip%3D92807&searchRadius=0&startYear=1993&state=CA&zip=92807&clickType=listing

I could not help but laugh also. I always have a great time in the Fd.

Thank you

I sold my Rx7 FB years ago on its original motor and it had 153,000 miles. The engine still had great compression. My last engine in my Fd blew at 85k after the person painting my car took it for a joy ride with high boost and low fuel level. I personally have never blown a rotary engine. When my new engine was built, the engine builder told me there is no reason why the engine should not last at least 100k. I have heard of good stories and bad rotary stories. The one above is mine.

I drove the car daily from 1998 to 2005. In 2006 it became a second car andI usually drive it once to twice a week. I drove it today. I love driving the car, and I sometimes make a video and share it with my viewers.

Thank you so much.

Thank you man. It would be super cool to go and hang out with our cars.

I can tell for sure you are an experienced FD owner based on that recommendation. Yes, I definitely agree, and it is on my to do list. I will be going to a bigger brake setup soon. I see a lot of people doing the 929 brake master cylinder.

Thank you, Peach. I am glad you like the cars. I enjoy driving them and sharing my videos for all to see.

Sorry about the crappy video. I just got there when the race started and pulled my phone out in a hurry to try to get the forst lap. I am going to edit it to see if I can make it better.

@arrivendrive6831 it's OK I'm joking. I really suck as a cameramen

Really? How many other circuits over 6km can run prototypes on? Or hold that many cars/races over a week? My only racing experience is sim-racing and in that, Sebring is a damn great circuit. T1 and T17 are both real tests of skill.

​@@leeday2265so you've never driven Sebring then. Sim racing doesn't come close to how bumpy this place is.

Still better than silverstone, every tilkedrome, and 95% of the boring circuits in europe.

​@@MrJohansen😑....you got to be kidding right. You think the home of roadracing has boring circuits? I'll admit most modern circuits are. But Silverstone is far more interesting and challenging to drive than Sebring ever was. Perfect example of the grass is always greener where you don't live syndrome

I really enjoy myself at Seebring but maybe your experience was different. Is your experience as a spectator or driver?

Sorry, I will edit to make it easier to watch and I will be ordering a new camera this week.

I have heard rumors but I have no good or bad experiences with those engines.

It is a great feeling when someone enjoys one of my videos and takes the time to let me know. Thank you, for I have a great time sharing these videos to all my viewers.

It's beem a while since I have been to a Nascar race but I can tell you these cars are faster.

@@arrivendrive6831 yeah imagine those flatout around daytona

Go pedal down to the floor until you see God, then brake
