      I have found and saved the rarest Mazda FC RX7 ever made! Now this car is rare. Really rare! Let me break this down really quick...
      Ever heard of the rare 100 GTUs rx7s? Only 40 have ever been claimed and only 11 are confirmed at the time of this posting! Here are the rarest rx7 FC3S models:
      1500 10AE Turbo models
      1400 infini
      1000 winning limited
      150 final edition convertible
      100 GTUs...
      out of that 100:
      83 red on black
      10 black on black
      7 white on blue
      There was only 100 GTUs models created between 1989 and 1991.
      If you own one of these rare models sign your car up to the registry list here on any of the rotary forums!
      There are rumors about a restamped GTUs model...
      The entire origins GTUs owners thread on the rx7club was modified, icemarks claims deleted, registry list changed to have a confirmed section and the mods agree there are not enough GTUs models to have the restamped.
      If you want the full story behind the restamped models:

    On the other hand, I'm happy I had my time with them. My '86 was my drift/rally car for years and years, I beat the snot out of it and it had over 300k when we parted ways, mostly because my knees were up against the dash and shifting was getting, err, complicated. Even with all that, it was stupid reliable with all 80-odd horsepower.

    What an awesome guy. Totally agree with his thoughts about buying parts right now, I can't believe how the cost of original parts has increased over 5 or so years

    The way he described the way you have to drive it reminds me of what was said about Takumi, "so the 86 isn't the monster, it's the driver".

    I think he killed it with that engine swap a V8 and from a Toyota I personally don't know much about the 1UZ engine but it looks like it came with that engine from the factory he did a great job with the swap I got to give him a big tums UP for using the 1UZ engine great idea.

      @One_LuvZ 4 года назад

      @@slamrahovart9024 It makes sense though when you compare the parts availability, support, ease of maintenance, and room in the engine bay does make it a desirable swap. This is coming from a guy who had an e36 with a damn fun engine to drive and learn from inline 6.

  • @neptuned4746
    @neptuned4746 3 года назад

    Sure I'll be hung for saying this but..
    Listening to the engine and watching how the car handles one thing came to mind immediately.. This car is "The Japanese Fox Body".
    I still have and just started working on a 91' GT Fox Body Mustang my dad bought when I was 3 years old in 1991 (Being spec'd out for grip to take on the TOUGE style mountain roads where I live now..), as well as a 93' Cobra (Vibrant Red) and a number of LX's I've had over the years (Been around these cars my entire life). If you've ever had a small block 302 5.0L with a legit set of one chamber Flowmasters just close your eyes and tell me you wouldn't think this guy was driving one. The minimal interior and exterior of the 86, plus the 2 cars are from the same exact era. if you went to the Japanese and showed them a Fox Body and told them "Make me a Japanese version of this for the track" This car is what would role out of there..
    And the engine sounds exactly the same as a 5.0 H.O. I dunno I just found this very funny and inspiring.
    Props to the builder for sure.
