I think there is only one choice, drive the built one and enjoy it whilst you spend a bit of time building and perfecting the low milage one as yoy want your forever car to be spot on. Once you've got it perfect, sell the built one and recoup some of your investment. Fingers crossed its value goes up in the meantime!
One of them I guarantee is going to be a give away car. Rotaries are like riding 4 stroke bikes your whole life then getting a taste of a proper two stroke.
He's gonna sell all of his cars and quit RUclips
💯
@@vangattanwait what?
@@nathensantiago3785nah he just did an rx7 giveaway. Let one of em go to an rx7 enthusiast
Keep the low mile one, give it a full respray and keep it mint. The other one can be enjoyed
Easy
Keep both, repaint and restore the clean low mileage one, and go all out and have a fun street fc with the modified one
Or combine the best parts. He doesn't need to sell one anyway.
I'd keep the low miles one. We need a compound lap in it and I also think you could make the lap times into a cool t-shirt idea??
Can we just for a normal lzmfg shirt with not a crazy logo on it lol
You really want a shirt with a bunch of lap times written on it? 😂
Keep the low mileage stock and restore the bodywork and paint, keep it sat as an investment/museum piece (sounds like you got it at a decent price and OE conditions ones are only going to get rarer and more valuable). Then keep the other 1 as your driver car and modify to your hearts content
I think it depends on your goal with the car .
If your thinking OEM plus fast road going car then I’d pick the low miler and respray it factory red .
If your considering cages, different arches, lock kits etc then I’d just use the 80k mile one as you’ll be replacing everything anyway
I think both would follow same approach for giveaway car , low milers just getting some love n TLC , then the faster one getting some racey bits on it and a lip kit 👌🏼
As an ex 2x FD RX7 owner, I am loving the rotary content. Please keep some rotary content in your regular weekly output!
You have learned alot about diagnosis Adam. It is good to see your growth all these years with cars. You are starting to teach me now!
Kinda half joking about billing him for your time was funny af! 😂
Welcome to the FC club! 🤝
Respray the low mileage Turbo ii, keep it simple, especially since good FC interior pieces are hard to come by nowadays.
Second FC, just go crazy with it, or possible next giveaway car.
As a fellow owner of a 1988 FC Turbo II in red, they are both nice! The 30k car though seems like it will need some money thrown at it to make it perfect. You gotta ask yourself if you will enjoy the car in stock form. They are pretty slow with stock turbo and all. I vote for keeping the 80k mile car as you won't feel too bad about making it your own build. My FC is mostly stock under the hood besides a fresh rebuild, studded keg, and upgraded fuel system. I want to put a bigger turbo on it and HKS cast manifold I have laying around, but I'm on the fence!
Buying a lot of cars is a understatement you literally have something new every month
with how hard interior is I'd go with the stock one, as others have said you can fix the body and both probably need at least some paint and the stock one is just a better untouched play ground to start in, especially with the interior (the other one looked slightly yellowed on top of the light wear)
I'd say the 30k car. The body repair and respray you guys can easily do inhouse, and the rest is near perfect. Other thing: it doesn't have a sunroof that will leak.
A stock FC is such a joy to drive. I've got an original '87 TII and I can drive it 9/10ths and not worry about getting too crazy. Keeping the restraint to keep it stock is SO difficult. But I've enjoyed my stockish FC TII.
Fastest car I've ever had, 1988 RX-7 Turbo II, I had the same car but it had black leather seats. Amazing Cars! You have two of them...Truly Amazing!
Damn adam is becoming a puertorican as the days go by welcome to the fam hermanito
Like some others have said, it depends on your goals for the car. If you are going for the oem+ vibe, then definitely the low mileage one. If you are gonna do a full refresh and turn it into a drift car (because you did drift it so i assume that you are planning on turning it into a drift car), then the high mileage one. The low mileage one should sell for more too since it is so good both on the inside and outside.
Adam I’d say keep the lower milage one. Both are clean and cool though. Either way we all know you’ll make it your own. LZ
I think your gonna like the one that looks brand new on the inside more then the one that’s already had other touches done to it by someone previously!
Sean and his smoke devices. Also his Gucci Flip Flops 😂
bringing Chelsea into an LZ video is an instant bump to any video
Watching this clip brought back alot of memories for me alot of them good and some sad as a previous fc owner it made me happy to hear and see one but after spending 18 years searching for one but realizing the prices were way to high made me sad maybe one day I'll find one and fix it up to share with my son when he is of age. Thank you for taking me back to memory lane brought me to tears sharing my love of the fx rx7 with my best friend
The commentary around the smoke tester smelling cracks me up every time. “That stinks man” 😂
Adam is turning into a good mechanic/fabricator!!
Ultimately they're both going to need bodywork and although the engine in one has some upgrades, they're questionable, so both are going to require engine work. I'd keep the low mileage one as it's not been messed with yet.
We use those push air fittings at work for solenoids and what not. The biggest issue for us it the fittings get brittle and leak. Havnt had a line go bad yet 🤙
Love the fact you are getting into an fc. Can't wait to see it finished.
keep the stock motor one stock, thats a gem that deserves to stay the way it is forever.
You and the old lady need to do a budget build off and keep both for you guys my idea though up to you guys. or do a race at the end and for the winner, do a giveaway maybe
You can buy high temp hose that won't melt for those push lock air hoses. Years ago, when I had air suspension, I was melting lines a lot, till I stopped at a ParkerStore and found the high temp alternative. Also, with everything you do to cars you keep, I say keep the modified one, and "sell" the low mileage one to Collette. lol
When using push lock festo fittings always use the thicker clear high heat line. Works perfectly. I always use festo fittings an line. It's kinda high but well worth it. I have pushed the lines an fittings to over 20bar.
Definitely the low mileage one
Always lower mileage
Plus he’s gotta fix body and at least some paint regardless of car so he might as well go with a fresher build.
@@dekabwerks😊😊😊
Drive the 400 hp while building the and respraying the 30k miles one... No brainier dude.. ✌️👍🇬🇧
Adam just is literally just buying every single jdm car and don't stop
for sure the stock one! no doubt
Not the FC nothing is safe
I love the t2 rx7 prob my fave car
Adam slow down😂 save some cars for the rest us😂😂 stay blessed bro
I like the driver car, the built one, its already a fun machine and we can se a little serie putting suspension, wheels and tyres, and all that fun things we had back in the day!, miss those videos but we know things have changed!
Keep the first one. Build the engine to look stock but make a butt load more.
How does it feel to know that TJ hunt has a better R34?
Hater 💀🤣
Black wheels don't hit
Look underneath TJ's car then fix your comment
Different (objective)
Rule #1 of the internet, almost no one cares about your opinion.
That all comes to preference since both are virtually the same power, many people dont like the ztune kit, and personally i find adams purple better tjs is a little too dark. I like the oem+ nature of tjs but you have to admit fabrication is much cooler and its shows much more time and effort was put into the build rather than just bolt ons. Both are sick builds but I wouldnt call one better than the other
Fc is my dream car
Keep both! Fc’s are underrated. I can’t wait to get mine back on the road
Go crazy on the built one and make it drift ready with 400-450 hp seat time all time fun car. Do the bodywork on the clean one and turn it into a clean show car and then display both of them side by side on events, would be so cool to look at.
The stock turbo 2 is the one you should keep. Clean and no sun roof…….
Colettes probly super happy that Adams been on such a rotary kick lately cus she gets to cherry pick any parts she wants from them lmao but its just cool to see the insane collection adams accumulating
I never thought I'd say this but DAMN those polished stock wheels actually look gorgeous outside in the sun.
You already know what will happen Adam, if you pick the survivor you’ll never want to take it apart (at least not the engine) and it will just sit forever in the corner of the shop. Go for the pre-modded one, you won’t regret changing it as much. Maybe do a giveaway with the all original one too 😁
Definitely have to take the best parts of both cars and put it onto one and sell the other
vargaz might as well set up shop at the Rotary Compound xD
Gotta set up an office for him and call him Secretary of Rotary Affairs
Tough call both are worthy of being kept. But the original one in my opinion is the 💎. Looking forward to seeing what you do with these.
Wish I still had my old 88 turbo2 ...took forever to sell it n finally let it go for 2000 ..it was a fun car.. when it ran ..lol
Nooo ElZed shaved the mutton chops 🥩 very unAustralian of you!
Man it would be rad to see an fb build
You can always build an engine so I'd certainly pick whichever has the least rust, best body and interior.
my grandpa had that car in black it brings so much memories thanks for bringing it to my mind that i should get one to
You should keep the stock rx7 and re paint it and just keep the engine completely stock
I'm calling it, you're gonna see more FC builds now that LZ is doing one. Wait for it.
I'm not mad about it, though, 'cause I love FC's so much
If you stay with the moded one that already runs it means that the Datsun gets to full drag mode faster!! 😄
You should 100 percent keep the stock one and keep it stock. I doubt there's many driving around untouched. Do the over the top Adam build in the one that's already messed with
It depends what you plan to do with it. If you want to have OEM look under the hood I'd take mostly stock one, but if your planning on making it a lil weekend ripper I'd take the street car and call it a day
I remember back in like 2016-2017 you came out to lone star drift here in houston. I was 16-17 at the time and met you. Then you put my fc in the video showing off its interior sayin its the cleanest youve ever seen. Been watching since the “game of bike” says this is dope to see
It was the first time driving with a 2jz video
*Smokes out the whole shop*
Adam: Maybe I should do that outside 😂
Will be nice to see both on the dyno for a stock vs mod FC numbers
You answered yourself! Keep the low mile to restore it. Meanwhile, have some fun with the build one!!
There's no way I just watched Adam fill the holes in a iacv with gasket maker 😂😂😂😂
Asking us which one to keep knowing full well you’re going to keep both😂
I would pick the one with the low miles no doubt.
I think new paint for ray on the low mileage one will be worth it, built one looks good but having a fresh start with an OEM from 87' is a whole experience
Keep both!!! One drift/drag car and the other one fully restoration and build it up!!!!
Love the problem. I have a similar problem 😂 all the special Japanese cars are the passion and how can you choose just one. 🥵 The bone stock girl would make a great street car and the mildly tuned car would make a great track car. Red is the jam. We know you’ll give them both the ocd treatment so it’s a good place for both to start from. You have the room. Put the stock girl in the corner and have fun with the “driver track car” you can continue to abuse it and have fun with it, knowing you have the old stock girl for a rainy day.
Keep the built one. You’ll be way more willing to build and drive it than the low miles one.
The modified one clean up, new tune and use for a give away. Keep the lower mileage stock one and build completely with a full respray
I day switch interiors and the red spoiler and some of the engine room stuff like the a/c and keep the modded one. It will be a fun driver and looks better than than the lower mileage one.
How do we lose our voice from the lack of sleep? 😂😂😂
I use to have a 10AE and if it where me, I’d want it stock as can be. You already have heaps of fast and fun cars. It’s nice to time travel every once in a while.
def keep the lower mileage one. interior means a lot, and im sure you know that
Keeep both! The mint stock one build it oem+ and the other one make it a grassroots style drift car for fun!!
Keep the built one and swap parts to piece together the best possible interior
I guess it depends on what type of build you're going for. I think for a good restomod/oem+, the one with the bone stock engine would be the best choice. If you're gonna do a crazy fast as balls build, the other one would be the choice. 🤷🏻♂️
You’d be surprised how common it is to find said clean fc lol. Any rotary meet you’ll see lime 15 of them all being driven but 60-75 year old dudes 🤘🏻 still a clean find, cool beans 🫘
Keep the low mileage one, and while you're taking your time and doing all the upgrades and restoration, enjoy the higher mileage one.
Id keep both😍 the oem everything looks sooo good with those red beauties. The boost sounds so good after you fixed it on the left one.
Keep them both enjoy the built one and museum the low mileage one with once one while cruise
Should make some 3 piece wheels with those stock faces. That look is so timeless,would be badass
I love turbo 2’s. My favorite generation FC. I hope to own a white anniversary one. Love them both!
I probably would do the low mile one, but thats just me. But hey, his and her's sounds good too.
Keep the 30000 miler. Both need a repaint with the mismstch door om the one the interior rocks and you know thats the hardest to deal with. You know vargas will build engines he cant find interiors or rear window fins. You could cruise it now and the ac works. Its not gonna rip but its the perfect starting place. I dont trust most rotary builders. They all say im an expert and more than half build junk that doesnt last. Vargas is good with his builds.
Keep both , keep the stock one for a daily fun drive with abit of a fix up and then turn the built one into a drift/track car
Keep both use the stock one for just cruising around in and the modified one as a fun drifter to rip around in or turn it into track car/ time attack
You want a driver so keep the built one. Christmas is coming up and I bet Collette would love that low mile car. 😊
The bodywork car is the one to keep, but i'd take the built one.
Yes there are alot of things done but not the "right" stuff, it has turbo, IC, but id have most of the things from the 13B REW of the FD except the twin turbos.
I would put like a BW 7670(the 8374 is a nice chocie for more power tho), and enough injector for about 600whp on E85(the turbo won't supply enough air for it, but it's nice to have some headroom and not be on the limit)
topmounts are cool but id stick with V mount setup on the FC and when it comes to the engine i'd just make sure it's in good shape, probably have it rebuilt.
And sell the existing one as a built and good working engine :)
Ofc then there is all the planning, but it already have a fuel system that can supply the fuel but knowing me i would still tear into that shit.
Hmm, now when i think about it, why not spend the whole wallet doing the stock one completely to my own taste, i mean, when everything is gone over anyway? Then you don't have another persons project and shortcommings to deal with :D
Keep the low mileage one its got the better looking 10 spoke wheels and the rare louvers. Needs the correct taillights though. Should swap steering wheels to the 88 style from the other car
on camera car 2 has yellowing in the interior but it's minor and they are both soo good.
I would build/paint the first one, and meanwhile drive the second one.... the second one it's kind of a Pandora's box...a lot of owners messing with it...plus the first one has some cool bits !
Keep them both. Refresh the paint on the low mileage one. Mod and build the second one.
Keeper is the built, get a haltech 1500 I have one in my FC and it is amazing. I also have the turblown twin gate manifold and it sounds very similar to yours but I can hold 10 psi no problem
Yeah I’d agree it looks like the pillar was definitely resprayed
Keep the low mileage. especially of you have a vision of what you want. Stock you can start on your vision and not worry about someone else's vision and what they did
Dude just casually has two of my dream car just hiding away. Adam is goat in car game.
