Let me know what you thought of this video!
The fc as a semi nice street missle with tasteful interior to drive on the streets would be the best thing for that car
Might not have a title. Be a lot easier to buy a car that was street n then track upgrade it, plus AC I'm betting he wants
Taylor's such a goofball lmao. Love his attitude.
You're damn right
Straight facts. Mad props to Taylor, he had a lot of mishaps and he never gets angry. I can’t figure something out I get hecka frustrated. Love you Taylor❤️
When you pull the motor, before you swap to the Miata’s old 5.3, you should get the car painted the same green as your old drift vette
Taylor has legitimately my favorite channel on RUclips. Cool, interesting projects, super informative and entertaining, and insanely motivating for me to get out and get after it on my own projects. Keep kicking ass, Taylor!
Totally agree
Hey I remember seeing your 914 project, glad to see you're posting videos again
It's so easy to make it look good
I still vote that the old LS miata's 5.3 gets put into this ! 👍
I think that's the idea.
That is his exact plan! Mentioned it in the miata 5.3-6.2 series
Gotta blow up the one that's in it now 1st, maybe toss an e-bay turbo on it to expedite that process?
@@Danger-Dave yeah screw the truck, turbo ls the fc
Agreed
"Is it possible?" Hert: "BET."
Charles Donley For sure, I gotta agree about it being a little too out there/blingy, but at the same time I also understand in drifting it's pretty common to wanna turn heads. Either way though, for sure reckon Taylor is gonna be able to make this thing look mint. Love fc's even if they do have a unique look lmao
@@justaguy9776 go drift a car without power steering, oh wow so hard to figure out.
I’d love to see a street/drift project... just after the Silverado build 🙏🏻
I love the drift missile. Perfect for good seat time
Not going to lie I love the FC, I want one so bad just don't have the place or time to work on one.
I like it more with the kit now

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 7 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!
Maybe experiment with a cheap maaco paint job? I'd be curious to see that
Or wrap it himself for cheap!
@@Danger-Dave Wrap job would look 10x better than Maaco for less cost too. Hell, rattle cans and brush-on plastidip look better than Maaco lol
@@Sun-ut9gr it's def not cheaper to get a car wrapped over a $300 maaco paint job. Plus wrap would look terrible with the body damage not fixed
Maaco won't work. These PU bumper kits aren't the easiest to paint, chances are, the Maaco special will simply peel off after a short while...
@@clutchkickpj693 ~$300 for the Maaco job and $1200+ to fix their fuck-ups. Pretty sure that's more expensive than a quick wrap, but then I'm just going off personal experience.
Fuck Maaco. Color the car with paint markers and you're already ahead of their QA 😂
I love the FC would be great to see it with some paint etc
Give this thing to bodevision let him fix the bodywork 🤷♂️🤣
Its a beater missile....
I was thinking the same thing, polish it and throw a one stage paint on it.
Tell bodevision to give a quicky paint job, scuff and shoot some el cheapo paint
Maybe an half cage from the seats back and full interior. Greets from italy sorry for the bad English
Slap a REDSUNS sticker on it and call it a day! Looks good!
We’ve grown fond of the FC, especially because at some point we didn’t believe it would ever get built. Whether you decide to keep it or build something else as long as your motivated by the project we’ll notice and keep watching! If you’re not as motivated in spending time/money in the FC don’t keep doing it just to please us, we’ll watch whatever you want to build & drive!
Hey, all the tools you need are some wood and a hammer to knock out dents :)
I would weld a stick and pull
The FC rx-7 is the best looking car ever for me, If I had one, I would take my time tô make look the best I can.
I missed the FC content even if it doesn’t have a Dorito in it
The fuel rail being a little loose and popping an o ring is exactly why mine caught on fire. Wish I noticed before like you did!
17:53 when elliot rolls up on E.T in the forest
@Cliff P 😁
6:45 pour hott water on the fender and pop it out, I’ve done it for 3 fender benders
Since this is a DIY/Budget build, you should rattle can the car yourself. To make it all one color
I was amazed that kbdbodykit actually had a front bumper for my Audi. Wish they had a whole kit but still.😲
I love te zombie look of the FC put a wang on it blast pipes exhaust spray paint your done mate!
"whats the point of having the car, if you dont drive it?"
Adam LZ - "AM I A JOKE TO YOU?"
I kinda got the hint that the FC is too far gone to be the street car he'd like. I wonder if that'll be the cefiro, or a new platform. Cefiro would be hard to fix in case of a crash, and is pretty rare. But i'm keen to see content on that!
By far my favorite channel! I'm digging the FC. I'd love to see you spend more time to make the FC better, then do a give away with it.
Should paint the lower section of the door black, get that AE86 vibe
I kinda dig the white and black, should get like a big police sticker for each door and then tandem with Cleetus in Neighbor 🔥
That fc has a chance to be a scary good looking car man. A fantastic practice or backup car. I like you down to earth look at things. Congrats for not being afraid to drill a hole without second quessing yourself.
Looks so much better Taylor! Just need to tape off a line on the bottom of the doors where the side skirts end's from the front to the back fender, then spray paint the bottom part of the doors flat black so it flows in one line, and it will hide all those holes some too!! Maybe a rear spoiler to top it off...she's transformed!
I feel like Taylor would be the nicest RUclipsr to meet in person
Don't know man. Everybody needs that one project that you have very little $ in. It works well enough and you don't care if it gets a bullet hole in it !!! Just great back up. That "don't care" stuff is part of a good life. At least I think so. It can sit a year, still starts, and cures something else that you never expected.
Love how you just toss the car around effortlessly!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bro the best part about this video was you driving around your yard through the treasure trove of cars. YOU HAVE SO MUCH CARS
Taylor: this is my cheat car
Me: (looks at my car) (starts crying) lol
Damn. Drifting footage at the compound is smooth as butter. You should be pro 🙌
I love how raw and unedited your videos are
You should totally paint the kit white. Would be so clean and so much more aggressive. Having the black kit almost understates it comparative to the body color. Such a cool car regardless!
It never hurts to have a backup and I love both the builds was waiting on the old miata engine to go in and really wake the FC up
The dirt track wheel is honestly my favorite thing on the car
I got a black one for my drag fox
19:19 Taylor: "making sure the kits not falling off, you know?"
Me: mate it sounds like that's the least of your concerns when it comes to worrying about things falling off 🤣 she's a true missile 👌
For your dented fender panel, and your passenger door, drill a small hole in the middle of the dent, insert a small bolt or screw with a washer from the inside, and use it to pull the dent out with a pair of pliers... Even if it's a cheap car, you should try to work out a deal with BodeVision to get it painted over... His work is amazing, and I have to think he doesn't charge that much, especially for a fellow RUclipsr...
Wouldn't be a taylor ray video without hearing a rooster in the background lol
I missed this car man! i always liked your FC. Same with the Cefiro!
The poor sefiro in the background like a orange headed step child. 😢 I'd love to give it some attention.
You should definitely build a street/drift FC!
Yeeooooo I have never seen bumpers and side skirts made of such a bendy material
@TaylorRay
The jdm RHD car in the front yard. Please show it some love or give us a update on it if possible.? If I remember right got it for a trade with the Chevy truck you had...
So happy to see this car getting some love
23:40 variety is good too. There’s a point of diminishing returns where driving something different will increase your skill in your miata
However nobody knows where that line is. Maybe you still need a lot more time behind the miata’s wheel before you hit diminishing returns relative to other cars
You need to build the cefiro (El Cefa) so you can tandem with Adams chaser! I miss that car!
That's the project I'd love to see. Right-hand drive would give Taylor a different challenge and could be his show-off car.
Man, I need to take lessons on your attitude, I have no patience. You are a great inspiration, love the vids!
i would love to see you make a massive chassis mount wing for the FC. i feel like it would look great and you could have some fun doing a project
See if ole Jimmy Jackstand would be interested. Heard him say he needed to drift.
A street drift car with full interior and AC sounds like a great idea. Maybe even a big body 4 door?
Funny thing is he has one already. Lol
Paint from the body trim line down matte black to cover some ” character “ and give it a panda look? And get a little dove tail spoiler
a street build aiming at most of what us viewers would own would be a cool build series
I think Taylor invested in Nutriboom. Boom Boom
I love that thing! you could paint the bottom of the doors and the trim places satin black... that would look Rad.
Ooh that looks SOOO much better. I always wanted you to keep up the RX7, and Im so glad to see it getting some more attention!
The two tone panda style suits the LS-FC. thanks for the fun video. yeah to function over form - although if u can have form too! all the better!
I think if you’re not using the cefiro or the fc maybe time to move them on, maybe even the green truck if you want a street drift car maybe do a turbo Ls in whatever vehicle that maybe, corvette?
I really liked that you still working on this fc...
dude, you already own a perfect "street style drift car", the cefiro. it's basically an rb swapped s13. throw a little angle & some more power at it, & you have a car you can drive to the track, spare tires in the backseat, AC on, and still have a totally competent drift car that is unique & not many other people will have.
I’ve got a plan for that car to be my street drift car. Except no rb or ls. Something cooler engine ease.
Takes like a week to fully cure. But you could check out refrigerator epoxy paint. Lays down really good for spray paint and its super durable once cured.
I believe you should keep the RX7 and have your fun with it (building it like you said) and get a street drift car because why not have more cars? You have the space for it.
You should totally get another FC and LS swap it with all the creature comforts like AC and full interior! Make a whole series on it and also do a guide on how to make AC lines because I'm sure there are guys out there who want to learn and run AC in their drift or street cars!
I don’t know why but I always get hyped up when you upload a video.
The panda kit. Reminds me of the Corolla AE86 a lil.
Love this thing man, nothing better than an ol’ reliable beater! Owes you nothing and gives you nothing but smiles 👌🏻 yeah you gotta work on it a little but it’s worth it ahah, love the fc Taylor 🔥
Commenting before watching but im so stoked for this build to get some love
The footage of you ripping around the Compound looks like so much fun!
You should rattle can the whole car black so it hides tires marks, dirt, etc....Edit: If you decide to sell the car, you should hit up Colette. It'd be a perfect practice car for her!
Want her to have a heart attack lol? Remember that Birdbox parody of hers?
Adam LZ needs these body kits !
taylor ive been lurking for a long time and im finally subscribing. my buddy bought BC coilovers a few years ago and talked to you on the phone while you were working there. small world. keep up the good work man peace and love
Florida is basically just a populated wasteland! And I love it!
I love the hackery mentality with this car.
I'd love to see what you come up with for a street drift car. Something real Fast Furious, or Underground 2.
we all would love to see a semi restoration of the FC! You have a street drift car already! show us some some content on your JZX! i think selling or raffling the FC makes the most sense, especially if it was a bit cleaned up.
I like the panda look. You could roller paint it with coach paint to clean it up a bit more on the cheap. I don't know if it's worth it to you to have two competition capable cars; so that if the miata is out of action you could still make an event? Then you still more or less have the problem of being out of practice on one of them though. Unless you build a clone car. Alternatively you could build it for some wheel to wheel racing say. Seeing as it has the cage and is a bit rough to become a street car again without a chunk of work. A street drift car would be a neat build but then I imagine that would be a car that you would only be comfortable driving it so hard.
KBD. Make C5 and C6 flared fronts and bumper bits. The looming Corvette Driftpocalypse is coming, please be ready.
This fc is gonna be on point keep on building trust me... itll be you're fav at the end
You are making the RX-7 FC great again😂👍
A street drift car, sounds like it would be fun to watch you put this together.
Dammm Taylor was ripping in that clip at the end man !!!!!!!
I say keep the FC until you have a next-level pro car like a Corvette. Then you can put the Miata on full thrash duty. Until then, you have two working drift cars. That's no small deal if you don't have a team of mechanics making sure you're always ready for the next event. When you get something more hardcore than the Miata, then the FC has served its purpose and you can move on. Ditch the Cefiro and build a driftable street car like a 2JZ IS300 or even get yourself a JZX and do Ebisu level mods to it. Eventually I see you taking the drivetrain from the green truck after you turbo it and putting it in some kind of classic car, kind of like your version of Cleetus' Cummins Galaxy. Then you would have a 4 seat cruiser that goes hilariously fast and you'll probably want ditch the drift taxi anyway.
It is a real improvement I know it is your beater / seat time car and you are not going to throw buckets full of cash at it but the kit has made it look as though you do care about it.
Looks much better with the kit. It’d be cool if u got the litlle trim for around the sides of the car. Also think the bay is a raw diamond. Just needs a clean up
tbh, to fix those fenders and the door, to pop out those dents, get a heat gun and a plunger, and pull them out, it will look better, and possibly fit better w/out those dents
I love this car, full of character
maybe try to get the trim peices where the front bumper has that yikes spot between it on the fender on the sides
Looks so much better 👌🏼needs a spoiler now
a street-friendly drift build would be cool to see!
A G37 would make for a good Daily Drifter! Plenty of creature comforts, and slides nice too.
I vote that you let a local artist paint the back 2/3 of the car, and leave the front a matte black. Have your peers and fans sign it with a silver sharpie at casual meets or in the pits. That'll add some personal meaning & value to the car.
Keep it I think you get more angle and you look more smother in transition and not so fidgety on the wheel take a look your self you look so calm in the fc. Don't get me wrong I love the Mazda mini ls monster lol
Oh and building a k24 turbo engine and getting your engine weight with in the wheel base to use as a track day or time attack car would be cool.
Rx7 build with previous Miata's engine + cleaning up the body then do a giveaway. The cash you make off Rx7 sweepstakes goes to Corvette build. By selling stickers and or shirts like the no turbo no problem design.
Looking way awesome now!
