What it's Really Like to Import an FD RX-7 From Japan.

- Welcome back! We went for a quick drive in Will's imported FD RX-7 before he heads off to the dyno for a quick tune with his freshly rebuilt turbo and APEXi Power FC. Nothing crazy with this one, just what seems to be a "colorful" history of driving back in Japan prior to its new life here in Canada. Perhaps we'll revisit this one in the future! Enjoy.

Either your jaw drops when you see the clean canvas of a bone stock, low mileage FD... or you spot 10 gauges inside an ex-drift car and think "I like where this owner's head was at." Let's build on this.
What would Keisuke say? Haha ;) I've seen many examples of RX7's like this one in Japan for sale. Most of the mods are what you'd expect save for the big single being more rare and a nice bonus. I can picture those white TE's on my white S2K ;)
His engine seems to be running well but as we all know Rotary's are notorious for having some serious issues. Hopefully he's ironed those out or at least stays on top of maintenance.
7:38 it's an automatic RX7 diff I believe. It was quite the hassle to fit too, since the manual front half shaft had to mate with an automatic rear half shaft, separated at the U joint.
Oh really?! Ok, maybe we'll bring you out next time as our parts advisor haha. It seemed an RX-8 diff would be odd, not even sure the auto came with an LSD.
Sounds AMAZING!
As usual, fantastic video and quality, Marcus! This channel deserves WAY MORE subs. Take care man
I enjoyed the format/layout of this video 👍🏼 good job
7:15 that brake light plunger needs to be looked at
Yeah, this drive/video served as a good diagnosis haha
This example does appear to have some sought after authentic mazdaspeed parts. The hood alone is going for top dollar (provided its real of course..). Same goes with the front bumper. Is that a real GTC front end? Even the wheels. TE37's on anything are not cheap. These ones even look like the more reasonable 17's as opposed to the more common blingy 18's.
For the most part, she looks pretty intact. Sure, there's some rough spots. It wouldn't take much to bring it back to tip top shape though. Lots of good bones there.
Congrats to Will!
I love it, the car has "soul"
It's the second RU video this steering wheel has starred in.... It's exactly the same steering wheel from the AE86 you filmed years ago....with a horn replaced.
2023 is the year of fun car reviews again
I don't know what this means but I think you might be right.
Ejecto seato, cuz!
Send the cluster to Gagne in Montreal. He re builds them. No excuse here. Lose the external tach.
what wing is that exactly on it?
Yo stop putting ideas in my head
What roads do you film your videos in the lower mainland?
Google maps + squiggly lines.
So where is the info about the import process? I've watched tons of videos but I expected an explanation how this car got in and registered etc.
No such thing as too many gauges! ✊😤
This is fucking situation !!! Drive fucking TESLA !!!
