Fallen in love with this channel. Always chill vibes and genuinely stunning cars. I live in Wales UK so this feels like a secret back door into the Japanese scene. Thanks so much for hard work editing and sharing this! Peace man!
I remember the RX7 from Need For Speed: Most Wanted, back in 2005. 2023, I am revisiting it now playing the game again, love the RX7. The way it looks it is just, so eloquent. And, the way it sounds is music to ears.
@morericeplease8450 I live in Canada and used to import cars from Japan back in the mid 2000. When I stopped at 2010 I've asked my guy in Japan to look something for me to keep. He found me a chase white 94 FD3S type R a former demo car from RE-Sanai rotary shop. I've paid 10K Canadian for it back in the day.
Never cant get enough of Rotary.....life goal! Will Mazda ever bring it back? They should have something like Omari Factory special projects and bring back Rotary! I see you put the top down on your Bmer...looking clean with that BBS!
Less is more in my opinion, especially when a car is beautifully designed to begin with (as is the case with the FD RX7). When the FD was first released here in the States, one of the neighbors in my apartment complex had one of these cars that was about as simple as it got, with no rear wing of any sort. All the better to show off the lines of the and the perfect integration of the awesome tail light design in my opinion. That will always remain the ultimate FD RX7 look for me personally. I'm relatively new to your channel and really enjoying your content. Also, I'm curious to know what magazines you used to shoot for. P.S. You son looks like such a happy little guy - great to see.
Yep simple is always best and so many owners are going back to this now. I shot for a lot of mags, if you’re in the US you would have seen my stuff in Turbo, Import Tuner, Super Street, Modified, Modified L&E, D Sport, AutoWeek, Road & Track. Haha yeah Gaio was enjoying the evening 😂
@16:40 MADDOG Arrives!!!! Whats even wilder about this car was that it used to be Bright Orange and built in the USDM Import Tuner Style and already looked amazing, he's done such a killer job with it
Great insight into 7s day! Speaking about rotaries, have you ever seen one of the rotary minibuses made by Mazda? I saw a couple of pictures of them, they look pretty interesting.
@@dino_dc tried several times to hare a link here, but I couldn't. That Mazda minibus was called Parkway 26 and had a 13B engine. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Really enjoyed that, seeing all of the cars at the meeting including some other cars that weren't rotary powered. I am nearly ashamed to say I've never heard of 7's Day before, despite being into the JDM scene and culture for a long time now. Delighted that your son got to sit into the Knight Rider equivalent of RX7's, seemed to be a very cool owner there. He has great patience, far more mature beyond his young years and he is getting a great start into the car scene 😉
Happy to hear that, and yes Gaio was so happy to have sat in the FD and even got to actuate the hydraulic suspension! Big shout out to the owner of the car that has helped make that love of cars stronger for a happy 7 year old! Need to get him a black tomica FD lol
uhh thats nice this is nice Rotory heaven.. great video man keep up the great work yea the Rx7 FD and Rx8 has a lot of aftermarket parts and bodykits the Mazda Rx8 is my fav car Holy shhhhhhhhh that triple Black FD look soooo good my man ... thats evil
The Wankel rotary is the perfect candidate for some form of hybridization. There’s got to be some way to get those emissions down with electric assist.
I bet you're tired of hearing it, but thought I'd give a tip on telling the difference between the SA and the FB. The SA has its plates between the taillight, the FB has it on the bumper down low. Learned this from Alexi, who's first car was an SA. Gotta say though, I'm really jealous. This is a bucketlist item for me, because the FD is (IMO) the best looking car from the '90s, and one of the best of all time. And I love rotaries. I love how their mechanical simplicity makes them infinitely more difficult to perfect than it's 4-stroke rival.
...and here, the TE37 fits pefectly, much better than any CE38 on any FD3. Although I have mine FD3 in Gran Turismo game in spec for driving Nurb and it has Advans RG ;-)
0:43 That S2 SA. I've seen cars identified this way with the rear plate both above and below the bumper. What was the standard placement for a JDM S2 and S3?
@@dino_dc 11:54 There's another S2 SA with the sub-bumper rear plate. UK and AUS models seem to keep the above-bumper location. But Nihon appears to have moved on to the below-bumper position like the US FB, and just kept RHD. Maybe Nihon imported some AUS S2 SA cars back? That would explain the mixture on the plates. And then of course some Yankee FBs could be in the mix too. Like you say in the video about the show, it takes all kinds!
Other people -Nice white FC RX7 Me - Ryosuke Takahashi 10:46 That AC..Subarashi The Cleanest FC in Japan is LEVEL ONE FC. Link to video - (ruclips.net/video/yQZYvuL61G8/видео.html&ab_channel=JPSTREET) The most important thing is Japanese knows how to park. They are the BEST.
is that your son following you the whole time lol , ... great content bro , im always daydreaming about owning some of the cars you always feature on your channel
Crazy how Japanese police treats car enthusiasts so badly in Japan. They're really trying to brush off their rep which is kinda weird but w/e Also, as an EG sedan owner its finally nice to see a Ferio in one your videos, even if its just in a short cameo! 10:20
ive been looking into buying an fc project, and its funny that you say the convertible is rare there. Where i live i cant find one that isnt a convertible hahaha
hello dino, impeccable work as always since I discovered you in speedhunters. A question that is bothering me: which models do they replace or have they added to the fanaticism of the people? maybe I got lost but I don't see the same variety from the beginning of 2005 to 2015 more or less... I think there is a bump in models, I don't know if the 86 is still growing, Honda dropped it except with the 660, Subaru continued with the WRX but it touches the transition, mazda only miata... However, I see more strength in the more classic models.
Thanks 🙏🏻 first of all! I think the 86 has done really well and actually surprising how many GR86 I see all of a sudden. Sure there are more new Civics in the mix but the highest bump in imports like BMWs and stuff like Minis & Golfs
@@dino_dc Thanks for replying Dina. Perhaps Akio knew how to see this, if the Japanese themselves go to European brands then Japanese brands will lose fans of their models. Is it perceived that the same enthusiasm is generated in new models or only in the same ones? subaru comes to mind that he already mentioned that he would not continue with wrx, honda maybe he will be able to resume with type R and so on
After 10 years of looking, I found a mint condition '84 RX7 GSL-SE, dark grey on maroon int. Then a drunk tweaker hit me at 50mph in a four door diesel truck while stopped at a light, put the trunk on my back and got to break my neck. My only RX7 story 😅
About the first car, the SA..."not the cleanest car', not very cool to say, no matter what you said about driving them. Not everyone has million dollar "dope" builds, cars only driven ones of miles for photo shoots, stuck in collections, etc. Cars driven, actually used for real, should get THEE most attention❗️
I think you may have misunderstood the context. I meant that it obviously gets used and to me that’s always a better thing to see than a super clean car that sits parked most of the time
@dino_dc right, right but you made a point to say "not the cleanest car", that was said straight away and in general your channel focus' on high end builds, maybe stick to that and forget about the regular guy out there😋🙄😉
Japan is just another planet, what a wonderful opportunity you guys have to witness their culture and sample the automotive culture ❤
It’s awesome you should come bro, I recommend use capsule hotels there and airbnb
“Do you want to get it”
“Yeah”
“Get working dude”
😂😂😂😂
Great video as always Dino!
Thanks! 😁
Appreciate all the content you've been putting up. Thank you 🙏
My pleasure!
Agreed...Great content - video n informative 🙂
That seafoam S13 in the background looked nice! Awesome RX7s!
Fallen in love with this channel. Always chill vibes and genuinely stunning cars. I live in Wales UK so this feels like a secret back door into the Japanese scene. Thanks so much for hard work editing and sharing this! Peace man!
Happy to hear! Thanks for the feedback!

Oh the black FD is just stunning!
Thank you for showing some FC's love your videos
Thanks for watching!
@@dino_dc I love seeing the different styles that make them, I find it impossible to find new cool FC styles on the internet.
i've only just discovered your channel but already love it! , keep it up
Welcome aboard!
very cool episode ! love the 7's. braap braaap
QUALITY as Always. 👍👌
Grazie Dino
Prego!!
As an FD owner, I always look forward to your coverage of 7's day in Japan. Thanks alot Dino!!!
around how much did yours cost?
@morericeplease8450

I was able to see the 7s day at FSW in 2019 and it was an incredible experience. Thanks for bringing the 2023 experience to us!
Here it is! Thanks for the coverage Dino, the best coverage.. Keeps me motivated to get the FC and FD back on the road!
Thank you and good luck!
Thank you so much for all the great content you've been doing lately! Really appreciate it!
Thank you!
Very enjoyable.
Alternate endings was a bonus😂
Never cant get enough of Rotary.....life goal!
Will Mazda ever bring it back? They should have something like Omari Factory special projects and bring back Rotary!
I see you put the top down on your Bmer...looking clean with that BBS!
Can only hope they bring it back in some way or form. Thank you!

@@dino_dc Big fan! Love your vids!
I 100% agree about the clean specs!
Thanks for the DC2 moment
No problem 👍
That red fc at the end of the video is mint ❤
Looked like a fun event, didn’t know anything about 7’s day. Never owned a rotary but any time I drove one it was a lot of fun.
I really appreciate this content, more meetings please! Thank you so much ❤
@16:40 MADDOG Arrives!!!!
Whats even wilder about this car was that it used to be Bright Orange and built in the USDM Import Tuner Style and already looked amazing, he's done such a killer job with it
Glad that t shirt I sent you fits. Keep up the good work buddy 😊
Sure does!! Thanks again!
@@dino_dcvery welcome 😊
Awesome coverage. The 3 FC's at the end of the video are pretty epic. Pretty sure I've seen the middle one put down a sub 1 minute times at Tsukuba.
Thanks! Possibly…
Oh man what a meet . Some stunning cars !
Great insight into 7s day! Speaking about rotaries, have you ever seen one of the rotary minibuses made by Mazda? I saw a couple of pictures of them, they look pretty interesting.

Fc or FD will always be a battle in my mind!!! Thankyou for the video
My pleasure!
Another killer vid man, my heart is in a RX7 one day…
Your videos are awesome! Keep up the great work
Thank you!
Awesome Dino, thanks man.
My Dad's friend growing up had a red '88 cab with tan leather and gold w/polish lip BBS meshies, still the only one I've ever seen.
Thanks for the rotary education !
Great content again Dino 👏
Plus the meme of the day too
Do like it? Yes!
Do you want it? Yes!!
Well get to working 😅😂
Priceless 👍👌
Ha ha thanks
No way... I know Marko since aaaaaaaaaaaaages ago back when we were doing pixelcars... CONGRATS DUDE!
Really enjoyed that, seeing all of the cars at the meeting including some
other cars that weren't rotary powered.

Recently found your channel - I’m really enjoying your videos! Keep up the good work 👍
Welcome aboard!
uhh thats nice this is nice Rotory heaven.. great video man keep up the great work
yea the Rx7 FD and Rx8 has a lot of aftermarket parts and bodykits
the Mazda Rx8 is my fav car
Holy shhhhhhhhh that triple Black FD look soooo good my man ... thats evil
Thanks! Will do!
In matter of RX-7, FC and FD are surely among the nicest designs from their eras. All very nice street cars.
Good meet up 👍
The Wankel rotary is the perfect candidate for some form of hybridization. There’s got to be some way to get those emissions down with electric assist.
0:56 That FD2 at the back
cant wait to go back to japan and visit DAIKOKU
That black FD is probably something you'd spot Vader driving on his day off serving the empire
Thanks
The red FD is a URAS kit 👍🏼
URAS (Monkey Magic) GT aero
🔥 OG Stencil. I regret not getting one 😭
I bet you're tired of hearing it, but thought I'd give a tip on telling the difference between the SA and the FB. The SA has its plates between the taillight, the FB has it on the bumper down low. Learned this from Alexi, who's first car was an SA.
Gotta say though, I'm really jealous. This is a bucketlist item for me, because the FD is (IMO) the best looking car from the '90s, and one of the best of all time. And I love rotaries. I love how their mechanical simplicity makes them infinitely more difficult to perfect than it's 4-stroke rival.
Sa and fb have totally different bumpers and taillights.
the rotary is back on sale today...unfortunately only as a range extender
“you want to get it?”
“yeah”
“get working dude”
Could you share where and/or how you hear about these meets? Like the second you mentioned that got arranged months ahead.
Thanks for sharing this
My pleasure
Love your channel!!!
Thank you so much!!
...and here, the TE37 fits pefectly, much better than any CE38 on any FD3. Although I have mine FD3 in Gran Turismo game in spec for driving Nurb and it has Advans RG ;-)
0:43 That S2 SA. I've seen cars identified this way with the rear plate both above and below the bumper. What was the standard placement for a JDM S2 and S3?
Not really sure, some are also imported & LHD so can be confusing
@@dino_dc 11:54 There's another S2 SA with the sub-bumper rear plate.
UK and AUS models seem to keep the above-bumper location. But Nihon appears to have moved on to the below-bumper position like the US FB, and just kept RHD.
Maybe Nihon imported some AUS S2 SA cars back? That would explain the mixture on the plates. And then of course some Yankee FBs could be in the mix too.
Like you say in the video about the show, it takes all kinds!
need a current vid on Aki's R33 i own one and his blog gave me so much inspiration and great information
Coming soon!
Other people -Nice white FC RX7
Me - Ryosuke Takahashi
10:46 That AC..Subarashi
The Cleanest FC in Japan is LEVEL ONE FC.

The most important thing is Japanese knows how to park. They are the BEST.
Hahaha “Brap Brap” at the end
Really cool bro
This my favorit car RX 7 fd
is that your son following you the whole time lol , ... great content bro , im always daydreaming about owning some of the cars you always feature on your channel
Thank you and yes, one of them lol
Looks like URAS GT on that red FD at 11:14

Also, as an EG sedan owner its finally nice to see a Ferio in one your videos, even if its just in a short cameo! 10:20
They are passive for the most part, they just don’t like it when it gets taken over so blatantly like that and people start parking in the truck spots
@@dino_dc I see! I didn't know that. Thanks for the info :)
I really need to go back to Japan.
i am drawn mostly to stock looking FD
without any aftermarket bodykit, spoiler, etc.
so bummed to be out of the country, thanks Dino for sharing video of this event!
🤣 let little man get in the vids he’s not ruining it for us 😂😂
is that the same slant/flat nose porsche from your older video in this same car park? still looks so good!
It is! He brings it out to most events!
that red fd looks like a Uras GT kit? at least it looks similar to the R34 and PS13 kits!
Seeing you hold your son back out of the shot in the reflection of a Spirit R you're trying to show us 😂
Haha 😂
Would you do a video with Sammit and Yashio factory in the future?!
Sure why not
@@dino_dc thanks Dino! Great video, my favorite RX7 was that black one. So aggressive
I just noticed.. your camera is doing some great work! In the opening shot, what are you using?
iPhone 😂
@@dino_dc LOL, how have phone cameras gotten so good?
love this content ty bro
Glad you enjoy it!
came to australia, U son got the mullet already like me kkk now we’re talking 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 all the best and thx for this video ❤️❤️❤️
Haha he sure does! It’s way past a refresh now, he’s got the right length at the back now though 😂
More info on the black one please 🙏

Thank you! iPhone 13 Pro Max
14:45 Wao!
I hope to come and visit Japan and make a video of it as well Inshallah 🙏 Great video 👍
I’m traveling to Osaka late September how can I find a car meet when I’m there?
Maybe ask around, not too clued up what happens down there
Fun fact, we have way more convertibles than coupes in germany so they are way cheaper to buy
Anyone else getting Knight Rider vibes from that murdered out RX7?
And the evo 5
After 10 years of looking, I found a mint condition '84 RX7 GSL-SE, dark grey on maroon int. Then a drunk tweaker hit me at 50mph in a four door diesel truck while stopped at a light, put the trunk on my back and got to break my neck. My only RX7 story 😅
Oh man that sucks 😞
Pretty quiff guv'na 💪
My FD RX-7 was the last one sold in Australia. I also own the Aurora blue RX-8 GT that was used in the 'Which Car' Review where it came last....
Gayo is the MAN!
Lol 😆
13:22 clean Fc with watanabe
Sammit was vloging at the same time at both location
I like it
Im going to japan today lol
Cant believe its been a month..
We went to daikoku and more places that has cars lol
7 day is pretty much Mazda day 😂
Kind of lol
19:42 ,haha
bruh every time i see saito's fc ................
The sweet smell of burning oil and symphony of the Wankel Rotary
Those FDs could do without those obnoxious large rear wings! It just disrupts the flow design of the car. Get rid of those bleachers!
