    Can we all take a second to appreciate how well Jimmy put together his crew. They all seem to be good friends, get their shit done and all pretty good on camera. Especially Austin, he came in and assimilated to the group almost immediately. Props Papa Jim😂

    Just returned from japan. Here are some tips:
    if you are going to be using the train system while you are there, especially if you are using the bullet trains; you need to get the JR rail pass.
    take mostly cash with you, as many places only accept cash. and especially any rural areas, cash only.
    use a small backpack, and always carry with you a gallon sized ziploc, as trashcans are not common....unless you use one at a convenience store.
    Dont sleep on the food at the convenience stores, it is cheap and really good.
    take insoles in your shoes if you are going to be walking around a lot. its not uncommong to do 25k-40k steps a day.
    make sure to take the yamanote line (green train) to akihabara and just explore all the buildings.
    have fun. and be polite. dont talk on the trains. and be respectful.

    I had just subbed to you yesterday. And I saw episodes of you and your crew working on this car. I was searching all over for some pretty knowledgeable stuff because I took interest into the fc rx-7s. I myself is planning to get one myself so I've been at it with a lot of vids all about this specific vehicle. And so far I never thought I'd get so hooked into seeing how much of a progress you all made with this vehicle. Sadly I had just got into the car game. But I've learned a lot and hopefully I get to own this Dream Car.

      If you plan on drifting one, be sure to study the rear end in FCs. They aren't setup the best and have a weird progressive toe in, kind of like a budget 4WS setup that needs to be addressed to make them controllable while drifting

    Sweet v mount, loving the rod bracket combo! Maybe moving the inlet/outlet on the radiator to the end (would be sticking straight up out the top if you imagined the rad in standard upright fitment) might make the hose routing and air bleeding a bit smoother than having them facing downward off what is now the bottom face of the rad?

    That low of an angle fir the radiator I think the intercooler is going to take priority when you want the radiator to take priority (especially with rotary) that's part of the reason why almost all Rx7's the intercooler is basically mounted horizontal.
