1. The rattling can be remedied. That was priority for me when I got my FC. I have no more rattle in mine. One of the biggest culprit was the deep end of the dash. I remedied it by 3d printing a nice Mazdaspeed wedge that holds it nice and tight while adding style points. 2. The trunk not closing/opening right. Mine did this as well - Simply open the hatch and look at the two latches that the door latches to. The screws on mine was literally half off. A simple tightening of these fixed it 100%. 3. Yes, backseats on the 2+2 are pointless for passengers - personally, I keep mine up for 2 reasons. If I need to quickly put something away while somebody is in my passenger seat, I just put it in the back seat and it's easy to pick back up. and two, It helps groceries in the back stay nice and snug so they aren't rolling around with the extra space (and it also makes for a nice snug hug for my subwoofer. (Fun fact, I too kept a cup holder in my back seat before I designed and 3D printed some cup holders haha) 4. The steering wheel - yeah, mine does that too... It was terrible when I first got the car, but I later forgot about it as I never really drive with my hands on the top. With that said, I am getting a new wheel soon, but I've been looking for something without a dish, a similar radius and stock looking which is hard to find without spending a lot of money. Yes, the steering wheel issue sucks.
i miss my S5 FC. To be fair, that car is 30+ years old. There are items you have to lubricate, adjust or replace. i had to do those repairs on a newer car 15 years ago. The rear seats were for insurance classification (four-seaters have lower insurance)
I wish mine looked that sweet sam! I really need to get on and sort mine as she has been slowly rotting away outside now for years and definitely needs some tlc!! Lol
The back seats being up actually helped cut drone for me and served as a divider for storing stuff. TOTALLY about the plastics. That whole steering wheel surround is just trash. S4 steering wheels were def the worst
I really regret getting rid of my 87 rx7 it was modded amd i had interior mods but i miss my rx7 i had a straight pipped with magnaflows and it was perfect sounding
I store my racehelmet and suit in the backseats (I thought all US spec FC had bins actually) JDM spec front lenses are parklights (sealed with bulbs) and not flash to pass like US spec.
Sam Sreca i just started working at a rotary shop and I understand your frustration on the fc my biggest problems are the turbo 2 model there is barely enough room to get your oil filter out or I’m just a noob either way I love the community behind rotary guys/girls and I love how unappreciated these engines are it makes you feel like a underdog probably because you are
I own one and a. My steering wheel is hard as a fucking rock. The leather has shrunk and the seams are starting to tear apart b. Mine has a windshield wiper on the rear hatch, and that makes it easier to lift it up c. mine is the non 2+2 model, and the rear seats are replaced with these two storage bins that are quite small I cant really think of anything I hate about it, and the interior is better than my daily, an 08 focus, which has a much uglier interior imo
what's up budddddy
Moistboys holy shit! What’s up boys!

The back seat is for groceries or coats, umbrella, dog, kids, etc.
clean af FC, wish mine had such a nice interior
Those back seats are known as insurance seats.

I'm fine with the hatch and dumb rear seats, but what about the interior and wheel? Any solutions for those?

I liked it just because of the LS joke
Tiarnan Cleary thank you thank you 😂😂
FC is my dream car! Going to look at picking up a white one hopefully this week!
Do it!!
How much do they usually go for ?
@@Iams-001 depends. I'm from california so everything is overpriced, even cars from the 80's
so did you get one?
@@axemyt8539 nope lol. I'll get one someday though, always looking. Decided to go doe more of a seat time drift car
Ahhaha awesome video man, the rx7 is almost impossible to hate tho😂 do you have any social media’s that I can follow you on?
Paul Callum thank you so much man! You can follow me on Instagram @rx7sam !! 🤘🏼
Engine floods and then you have to take the fuel pump fuse out and turn it over for 10 seconds. Then the dash gauges trip when you start it back up.
Time for rebuilt injectors
I really regret getting rid of my 87 rx7 it was modded amd i had interior mods but i miss my rx7 i had a straight pipped with magnaflows and it was perfect sounding
straight pipe and perfect sounding don’t go together

Mechanics hate this one secret trick... backseat delete?! LETS GOOO
Do you daily your rx 7 ?

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!! I LOVE MINE TOO AND I TOTALLY AGREE!!!
you don't know how jealous i am of those back seats they're so stupid but i want them so bad
Assassin Derpy trade me for bins 😂
Seriously? My fd back seats are exactly the same they are pointless might as well be a 2 seater. I'd take them out but compliance becomes a issue
Lmao! Fun to see the features of this car up close, and well designed video!
James Christiano thank you so much! Glad you liked it 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Number 1 reminds me of my sisters da9 integra. Sooooooo much plastic in the interior. And everything breaks.
And i had the rare cargo bins in the back instead of the seats
Nice car :) i have mazda rx8 :D
Carlos Gonçalves thanks man! Rotary squad!!
Why do so many people hate on the rotary engines ?? I’m new to car scene and I’m getting a fc why da tho
Dylan Holmes because they have never owned one, it’s just “cool” for kids on Instagram to say rotaries are unreliable. It really makes me angry tbh
@@SamSreca I live in Portugal and see your videos: D

I should make this video on the sol haha. Leaks, leaks, leaks, leaks, and oh leaks!!
SOLCIETY DEL SOLS do it 😂😂 that would be great
First one sounds like my 2002 focus zx3, I too roll down the windows for that reason
Thanks
Look clean fc I got a fb
That shit is so clean tho forreal lol he is very lucky to have such a clean fc
Got a like just for 5:28
I just bought a 86 in the same colour
You need more braps to forget the rattle.
Do you wanna LS swap an rx7? LS swap a Miata instead!
classic287 back seat is for groceries? Then why does it have a huge seat belt smart guy. Kids don't fit either if u have midget kids maybe.
Sub achieved
I own one and
a. My steering wheel is hard as a fucking rock. The leather has shrunk and the seams are starting to tear apart
b. Mine has a windshield wiper on the rear hatch, and that makes it easier to lift it up
c. mine is the non 2+2 model, and the rear seats are replaced with these two storage bins that are quite small
I cant really think of anything I hate about it, and the interior is better than my daily, an 08 focus, which has a much uglier interior imo
Yeah the wheel is a fucking stone, and my leather on my seats has taken a beating
Would u sell it.
How much you tryna spend for one

Aristotle Zografos 😂😂😂
