Why's everyone hating on a 23 year old with a clean rx7 😐 seems a genuine lad who's into his motors to me. Proper car aswell unlike most 23 year olds with a Fiesta St pop and wank map on finance. Gorgeous looking car mate ✌️
He’s either a named driver on his mums policy (probably a bit of a hard sell with the underwriters: ‘yeah, she’s always been mad about her modified rotaries my mum’), or he’s paying like £3-4000 insurance.
Johnathan Doe I am not on my mums insurance policy. I am the registered and only driver on my insurance. I pay £700 a year with 5 years no claims.. please don’t make assumptions before you know facts
Sam Wardle nice man, what companies that? I’m 27 with 6 years no claims and mines still £900 on an a4 b5 2.4 stock (my postcodes really bad though, and that’s with business use to multiple locations).
@Air Mate you make no sense. This guy come on the channel to show off hes pride and joy and let ricky drive it and you jealous people just trying to make him feel rubbish.
Ive noticed there are a lot of haters who arent happy a w3 year old can afford an RX7 and talking rubbish in the comments. If you dont like an owner you dont have to watch the vids just click off and watch anither video or something. Hes put a lot of graft into this RX7 and it shows Hes got a beautiful and rapid RX7. Well done on that mate.
This RX7 is from the best era of motoring, I look back with nostalgia when cars brands had different characteristics and strong brand identity. Keep the old school cars coming Ricky!
That's a special car!! Really refreshing to see such a young guy with in depth knowledge and maturity. Great variety of content lately Ricky. Spot on.👍👍
umar thomas and not jumping through buildings in mid air etc , fast furious 1 , 2 and tokyo drift and at a push the one where they rob the vault !! They where the proper fast and furious its just gone stupid now and its not any good
@@louisd2326 Thing is, the producers know that the fans are not happy with how the franchise has turned out. No one is, but, they still make millions within the first week of it being shown in the cinemas that they don't care what people say. As long as Universal Pictures continue to make bank, they don't give a damn about the fans feedback.
Gorgeous FD. Just picked up a 1985 FB rx7 myself lovely motor the fact that she starts first time everytime is a testimony that rotarys can be reliable
Damn, I wish when I was 23 I had whatever job he's doing to afford that! :D Love that car! He's definitely built a real weapon that's exciting to just sit and watch. Gotta say it's much more fun to watch a 400-odd bhp 80's/90's car than it is to watch a 700-odd bhp modern German car!
For me, one of the best things about rotaries is the sound, nothing like it. The video really captures it well, the in cabin noise is just like that. It's so unique.
The handling is what stands out about the RX7 - the adjustability on/near the limit. A nicely boosted rotary is fun and sounds cool in a straight line but it's just a novelty compared to how the car feels when cornering properly. That's why it's called a drivers car, and why it's still king/maou of the touge (downhill) in Japan. (Check out 'RX7 best motoring touge' on RUclips). Ricky to really experience this car or cars like this you need to find a decent stretch of winding hillside or open country road. You'd love it. Anyway great video, keep it up!
love these in white. building a half bridge for mine now which as soon as the weather gets a little nicer i can finish up. nice clean build without all the fluff👍
I’d deff agree w when he said that FD’s are a “driver’s car.” That sums up the rx7 experience well. It’s like a go cart on the road. The way the twin turbos are set up is funny since there isn’t any power until around 3k rpm...then it builds and hits hard around 4.5k and takes off. The classic jdm turbo whine and spool makes it even more dramatic and pronounced, and a blast to drive! The contrast between low rpm to mid level once the turbos spool gives the car its soul, plus the tight handling and super low driving position isn’t comparable to much else. If u can’t tell, I miss mine...
Used to have a single turbo drift fd, wicked car. odd map this one has, not only does it stop revving at 8k instead of 9 or even 10, but it's got a limiter. just had the buzzer in our one. once the next level of tune is on this car it's going to be amazing! already it looks the part, really nicely done. stop all the hate for young drivers, me and our mates all had fast 90's turbo cars by 23 and one of our group had an fd. good luck to him, hope he is enjoying it. I don't miss the fuel bills!
I miss my fd 3. I swore I would never get rid of her but even with 3mm seals i would only get 30 to 40 k miles out of it i changed my oil every 1500 miles ran pro tech in the fuel. I would say it was pretty reliable considering i really drove it hard can't complain it really is one of the most beautiful cars ever built.
I'm 39 and still dreaming of having an fd, I went in an rx2 sedan when I was 12-13 years old and that was it, rotaries are like nothing else, smooth high revs, the sound, the smell, everything about them. I want another one. Glad you got to experience an RX7 mate, I bet you'll end up with one, the look on you face was priceless, cheeky smile haha fuckn sick, awesome looking fd also mate, well done, hahaha
i never clicked a video this fast! Loving the variety of cars and i knew one day ricky that you would review a RX7. Now all you need to review is a r34 gtr... Keep up with the awesome content!!
Very nice FD! Not too dissimilar to mine in overall setup, I've got the T04R rather than the T51R but I'm riding on BCs too! I love the drama as the boost hits above 5K RPM and the screamer pipe starts screaming :D
I love your style my guy it seems real and not script let the drivers them self talk about there car you just film ask questions and take us for a drive plz don’t change your style loving it and had to sub after your recent golf vid keep it up 💪🏾❤️🔥
This shape has really stood the test of time! Amazing design, and amazing build! Mazda should re-release this shape (like Chev with Camaro, Dodge with Challenger etc etc) with a Skyactiv motor, put in modern day safety equipment, of course do away with pop up headlights (Not by choice, personally I would keep it if I could) tune it to around 350hp at the crank. Price it just under the new Supra and you will have a winner!
Why don't you make a channel like that in the US? Only trouble I can think of is trying to find people with tuned cars unless you already have connections. Would be cool seeing American tuned cars especially dodge
That tiny little rotary sits well back in the engine bay... makes the RX7’s & RX8’s change direction like few other front engined cars. These 7’s were pretty cheap about 10-15 years ago, I’d put money on them becoming very valuable in the future £££
I absolutely love this car and always have. What's surprising is you don't see ANY of these on the road anymore in the USA that is Baddass! Yes. I used to drive this to death in Need 4 Speed. Lol
Nice man, I love these wankel rotary engines. I had an rx8 years ago, revved up to 10k like a beast. Only 15mpg on average for 250bhp though and constant topping up of oil. Every 3 tanks of fuel it needed an oil top up. So much work to get these up on bhp as not many specialise in them. But they handle beautifully, so well balanced, light and easy to drift. I'm tempted to pick up another cheap rx8. Also, although it's a 1.3 wankel rotary my insurance had it down as a 2.6 as that's the equivalent power and it wasn't recognized. Quite hard to insure if you are looking and road tax is same as a lambo. £480 a year when I had mine 5 years back. Great video
I love how much power these engines give for the size of it. It's the stuff you mentioned which puts a lot of people off especially how insurers list a bigger engine size. I take it road tax now is around £570 for this. This government likes to take our money.
These cars are so narrow.i love them, but having pretty broad shoulders, i couldn’t shut the door without pulling my shoulder in, when i sat in one and couldn’t get comfortable. A lot of people take the door cards out and get custom flat ones made, which helps. Beautiful car, starting to go up in value now, for a good one.I think a low mileage type RS is around 30 to 35k.
A friend of mine had one of these, both of us are tall blokes, with the way the roll cage was fitted it had no room in it, none. It also went pop after two months of ownership.

Dan Hughes Haven’t seen one person hating
Pop and wank map lmaoo 😂😂😂
Jealousy
Nice looking cars , terrible on fuel standard so must guzzle
Dan Hughes I know which I’d rather have and that’s 1000000% the RX-7
one of the best looking cars ever made in my opinion
fun fact, the supra look was copied from the rx7.
Agreed
Absolutely. That side profile is up there with any exotic machinery. The styling on this one is perfect too, kudos to the owner.
Amazing looking car. They look even better without the spoiler IMO
@fuckwad totally agree it still looks modern
23 and owns a clean rx7, crist.
He’s either a named driver on his mums policy (probably a bit of a hard sell with the underwriters: ‘yeah, she’s always been mad about her modified rotaries my mum’), or he’s paying like £3-4000 insurance.
What's with it with more and more young lads coming on these car channels with these types of cars 😂. It's cool and all but jealousy is a bad disease

I dont understand how people Can be mad at something doing something purely because the person isn’t 48 years old
@@ValentineC137 I'll give you some words. Envy, jealousy, bitter, haters for no reason. People are fucked.
Sware to god...Thought he was like 38...
My man said 23?? Wtf lol wish i had that car at 23... fair play mate 👍🙌
Jake RS hell of a paper round mate uphill and into the wind
The car older than owner
shahzree shah the car is 20yrs old bro watch the video
I’m 29 watching this like wtf..
I should’ve saved up my whole life
You must be blind bro 😭
I like the natural interview style of the channel. Great man.
This RX7 is from the best era of motoring, I look back with nostalgia when cars brands had different characteristics and strong brand identity. Keep the old school cars coming Ricky!
Maybe my fav so far, humble owner very knowledgeable and knows where he's going with his build. Can't wait to see the finished project....
its about time you uploaded a proper JDM WHIP! shout out to all jdm owners and ricky🙏💯💪🔥

Owner... So its a WANKEL engine...
Ricky... what you just call me? 😋
27years old timeless look really nice👌
Blacky82 it looks good but deffo not timeless😂
@@reflexfusion9830 it's a opinion 😂
20 years old pal he clearly said it’s a 1999 model
@@reeslodge24 yup I wrote this before watching that part. Tell Ricky as well pal
@@reeslodge24 it's only a facelift model so technically they still look the same dont they.
"That sounds militant!" 😂
Creasing at that comment from Rick.
Sick FD tastefully done, and owner seems a nice lad.
Top man. Keep working hard (legit) and fair play. Loving the RX7 FDS. It's always been beautiful. A car that will always be treasured in my eyes. 😍
What's it like on fuel.... SHIT 🤣🤣🤣 great car lol

RX7 is such a timeless design. Nice curves all over + pop ups.
Ricky is banging these videos out 👊🏼 top of the game righty now
One of the best sounding cars you’ve had on the channel. Sounds very mechanical and not superficial . Good video Ricky 👍🏼
That is a very clean FD3, props to the owner. Cheers mate, keep up the good vids!
Out of all the Car’s you’ve reviewed Ricky this one is 👌🏻
Love the sound of a rotary too
The more descriptive you are about the driving feel and experience the better Ricky.... Master driver!
Love the look of the fd one of my top 3 dream cars
I miss my fd 3. I swore I would never get rid of her but even with 3mm seals i would only get 30 to 40 k miles out of it i changed my oil every 1500 miles ran pro tech in the fuel.

What a beast, love it. Looks and sounds superb !
“What’s it like on fuel? “
“Shit ! “
Cracked me up 😂
Love this channel 👊🏻
Can't wait to see what comes out of this beast in the future. I hope you get in touch with each other again, so we can see how the car has improved.
Still looks modern to this day with the lights down, such nice clean lines.. beautiful cars. Sound incredible too!

Those front wings are surely a knightmare for stonechips? Stunning car!
This Channel keeps on getting better day by day!!
Is no one mentioning the clean shots and editing in this one? Unreal
It just looks so good with stock body. No need to aftermarket body kit. Thinking about getting 99 spec front bumper and taillights on mine
Wow, just love that body kit on her, ver clean FD. Would love to see more of her!
Japanese cars age so damn well, the jdm 90s heroes ftw.
Rotangklan! a 400bhp FD is a ripper of a street car. Sick video Rickyyyy

You've gotta love these cars for how different they are. Look so sick

Thankfully they are UK. Much more variety in the cars over there.

Dude you got Doug Demuro and LegitStreetCars. They're good guys.
Liked the owner - no bs and knows what he likes
Richard Baker thanks bro
The rotary sound is sooo intoxicating 😍😍😍

27 years old but still looks modern. These cars are something else.
20 are ya mutton jeff 😂
channel is great man !!!
I knew you would love this car, i loved my rx8. The sound of the rotary when your ringing it out is sick. I'll get myself a boosted rx7 at some point.
This rx7 looks beautiful credit to the owner👌
Perfect build, perfect power
This is exactly my dream build for the Rx7, just got to finish my s2000 first haha
