I remember staring at FBs when I was a kid. It was just so sporty. The FC vert is most beautiful convertible I have EVER seen, and tastefully modded coupes are stunning. The FD is equally as beautiful, if not more but it a different way with curves. Tasteful mods will push this car into anothe stratosphere looks wise. It is timeless.
I'll be stationed in japan for a few years. One of the first things I'm going to do is find an FD and buy the hell out of it. They've been my dream car ever since I knew what it was.
So there’s this rx-7 on my street it is un-claimed and I see it every day and some day I will be the owner of it Edit two years later. It has disappeared. Someone might have bought it or they scrapped it. Im at a loss.
@@chowmeowching159 Uncultured and not wanting to learn the rotary. It was in pretty bad shape exteriorly with paint and cosmetics. the subframe was very intact and the like. Its a shame I do however know where there is another FC nearby
Because I already have an rx7, and rebuilds have gotten expensive in the past 10 years. That's why. I can do an LS swap for about 3/4 the cost of a properly rebuilt 13b. Why am I going to go buy a whole new car when I like my 7 for what it is? How about mind your own business and not worry about what other people do with their property?
LS’s are actually very light, especially for their general size, but specifically light for their displacement. That and just because they’re a pushrod V8, does not mean they are outdated..
Daily my RX-7 FC turbo II S5, even though it's winter here now. So far so good. The cold seems to have knocked out the central unlocking for the passenger door. Has to be unlocked from that side or from the inside, but locks with the driver side fine. At the end of the day it's still way more reliable than the FD which isn't built to handle the heat going on in front. People talking about off the bat reliability mods one should do for an FD to make it last. That was a big reason I got an FC over the FD. Price, looks and Initial D other.
I like these videos ESPECIALLY this one. My dad used to have an RX-7 he said he’d give it to me but he sold it after his ex’s dad beat the crap out of it so now he had to sell it... It was a great FC o remember riding in it when I was younger... Good times...
Ventilation Boy 69 It's GREAT unless it upsets the weight balance of the car and a lot of people don't care about that. "Hurr durr it goez FAST" is what I hate. I like race cars, not strip machines.
I love my dear FC. I’ve built pretty much the whole thing myself. No turbo (yet) but she’s still tons of fun up in the mountains. Are you familiar with Lookout Mtn Road?
My 13b is currently being repaired so I remount the engine mounts an slapped a 2jz so worth the swap the 13b is about to be a 3 rotor instead of 2 I own a 91 FC
I used to daily an RX7 FC for one year. It is very expensive and needs a lot of love to own and daily an RX7. Earlier this year, I sold it and got an MX5 ND. I am missing the rotary noise every day since. I am looking to swap a 3 rotors into the MX5, but right now I am focusing in save up a supercharger.
I understand your point. When I used to own the RX7, I bought a Civic as a daily right after purchasing the RX7. I ended up driving the RX7 way more often than the Civic and ended up selling the Civic soon after. I just love the experiences that the RX7 offered every time I drive it and so I chose to just drive the RX7 all the time. Well, I think any car can be daily driven. There was a youtuber did a video on a daily driven Lexus LFA. Also, there are plenty of videos of people who drive classic cars daily. Even now, the MX5 still couldn't make me smile like how the RX7 did.
MrMeoow91 damn. I think I could have the same problem. I currently own a 1998 Daewoo Espero. Not a bad car. Reliable and economic. And here, where I live there is no choice. Only old Daewoo models or new GM models, like Cobalt, Malibu, Orlando etc. And when I am moving to States I could really have the same problem that you had. But at least S chassis isn't that whiny about oil and other stuff. Probably would stick with only the 240 and not mod it to make it an unreliable trackday machine.
Keisuke Takahashi so true man hence why my dad sold his Fc Rx7 which he regrets selling and he said if he had the money and the storage he would of kept it lol
Technically the SA22C was the first RX-7. The "FB" was from 83-85, and was only called the FB in the USA because of the USA-only VIN change. Everywhere else, they were known as the SA22C. Excellent video though! :D
The first generation Rx-7 was know as the SA starting form 1979-83 and the first turbo wankle motor was the 13b turbo II in the fc rx7 not the 12 out of the fb or sa rx7 also the fd rx7 was offered in a n/a 13b model it just wasn't as popular. Great video keep it up!
You forgot the SA22C (the FB chassis code didn't exist in 78-80 and only a few regions even got the FB, the rest of the world uses the SA22C chassis code through all years for the 1st gen)
LS swap is only needed when you want a RX-7 that’s easy to live with (or you want a Japanese Corvette) but then again, it’s doesn’t make sense if you buy an Rx-7 to live a easy life. It’s the different taste that make the car culture so colorful
Rx-7 has been my favorite car. You can not hate this thing. It is the best drift car in NFS Heat as well but you would have to put an LS SWAPPED McLaren V8 in it sadly :(

Great videos, but you should have did a bit more homework when trying to trash the LS. They don't weigh that much, my LS-FD weighs 2700 lbs. The iron block of the rotary with all of it's turbo components add up, and they're not as light as they seem. Also, it's not difficult to maintain 50/50 with an LS. They're more reliable, make more power with way less money, and can handle just the same. Can't just listen to what you've heard lol. You know what's more fun than light weight low power? Light weight big power. That's not to say Rotarys don't have their place, I personally love them, it just irks me when people spout misinformation about the LS. But I say that to say keep up the videos, the recent Honda Fit episode was excellent.

FC is one of the most beautiful car i have ever seen
only superseded by the FD :)

I'm a fc fanboy but fd and fb are nice ngl

@@arone6298 call me a heathen but I already owned a Ford Taurus, I don’t need an FD. Still pretty rad though. (Just not for me, I’m an FC kinda guy)
"You can hear the rotaries." Respect the D, nice work
As a miata owner i kindly decline the LS swap
Agree, but I won't decline a S85 swap.
The best engine for a miata is a rotary!
Swapping is sacreligious
As a Fiero owner i'll happily take any LS you get offered lol
I'd love a 13B turbo or even a renisis in an NA miata. Should really have been a factory option.
Stop LS Swapping All The JDM Icons
Takumi_Fujiwara it's a *DEADLY* sin to LS swap a rx7, challenger, or mustang.
Takumi_Fujiwara Then tell Japan to make better engines lol
Andrei Fratian get tf out
🙏🏽
Stop 2JZ Swapping All The USDM Icons
You look at this, and tell me there isn't a god
Ian H God created gasoline for cars.
God created rubber for car.
God didn't created electricity for cars.
God also created fire for engines.

You show me a field of sponteneous cars.
How stupid someone has to be to ls swap a Mazda Rx7?
Sometimes they need to swap in non wankel rotary engines because they buy an rx7 shell.
Not very considering its a much better engine....
Keisuke Takahashi If you had to swap an engine into your car its because you let takumi drive it and he blew the engine.
Andrei Fratian are you talking about Ls engines?
did you consider that maybe an rx7 engine fits into an rx7 shell?
RX8 is underrated as Hell. I've been loving the car since I was 6-7.
It's an unreliable piece of shit with its fucking plethora of issues. Has a nice body design though.
TheMaverickCannon I'm stating facts
NIBBA I know. But I’m just disappointed it’s less powerful than its predecessor
TheMaverickCannon yeah I like the rx7 but I don't like the rx8
TheMaverickCannon to me the rx8 is like the weird brother
God, I love the FC styling
I love these type of videos. Keep on making them :)
Apex seals, that’s what they are so great.
Wut?
is this supposed to be sarcasm?
yup pencil leads>piston rings
why rotary is so great.
- lower thermal efficiency
- lower compression ratios
- wrose fuel economy
-DOUBLE power to weight ratio
-High power to size ratio
-Modern apex seals
-Just swap the fucking seals every few years
Fc3s is like my favorite right next to the skyline r32

I'll be stationed in japan for a few years. One of the first things I'm going to do is find an FD and buy the hell out of it. They've been my dream car ever since I knew what it was.
Ben Krause
Good luck finding, if ever, a stock one. A RX8 is easier to find stock, but an RX7 FD (Efini) will give you some trouble to find.
idk about stock ones but theres plenty of rx7s for sale and for a goddamn good ass price too. they arent overpriced like here in the US.
So there’s this rx-7 on my street it is un-claimed and I see it every day and some day I will be the owner of it
Edit two years later. It has disappeared. Someone might have bought it or they scrapped it. Im at a loss.
No way anyone would scrap an rx-7

oh how i love that you put in the clips of mount panorama here in australia, giving us a little credit for shit we didnt do
Thx for this video and showing that the rotary is a top contender in the racing world.
really hope the channel blows up for the solid quality videos you put out.
Rotaries are so misunderstood and they're making a major comeback!
You definitely need to concentrate on making as many videos in this series as you can
Once again, another great video with awesome music choice! Loooove it! I hope you find fun in doing this, since I for sure enjoy watching them :)
Well said that compliment coming from FD 1993 TwinTurbo R1 owner...anybody tell me about an engine swap I don’t even talk to them anymore
I'm sorry but if you wanted a freaking LS engine why the crap did you buy an rx7 buy the stupid car it came in
Thank you!
Agreed, just go buy a Corvette shell or something instead

LS swap ruins the car.
wrong my dude
ls swap ruins the FD
not the fc (my personal favorite) and the FB
@@biggiemac1997 no it ruins all. ruins fd at most.
Why would you buy a 30 years old car for 40000$ for LS swap it?
Those rolling shots are bomb man, loved the perfectly timed flame
I miss my 89 Rx7 FC I daily drove for a few years 10 years ago
I miss mine too, wish I didn't sell it. Might have to get another one, one day.
ROTARY SWAP USDM CARS!

how would they feel if we fucking swapped a 13b into a c5 corvette
i dont think they would like it
