I'd take the FD anyday but hell i would never diss the FC
We were strictly talking about the looks. The FD looks undeniably better to us
there was also the FB/SA Rx-7, which had a nifty look of its own, FD's look good as a reasonably modern look, but very 90's bubbly style here and there, which does date it a bit.. personally I prefer the FC looks wise (and the dash cluster on a S4 is much more interesting than the FDs tbh), though it is undoubtedly 80's, inside and out.
though, fun fact, the FC headlight action is incredibly nifty, it's a slightly more complicated mechanism than the FD/FB and NA miata/Mx-5, but it keeps the headlight always pointed forward, but it moves so quick you'd never notice, hence I guess they went back to the basic tilting pop-up on the FD.
The '86~'91 2nd gen FC3S was designed to be a Porsche 924 fighter and Mazda succeeded (you can notice the similar silhouette). I happen to think for its time it looks very handsome and classy both inside and out. The after minor change version is especially the SEX!
When you guys said the prior was ugly my heart broke. FC3S is my dream
Ha! Y’all are rad, thanks for the shout out. 🙏🙏 But frankly, that EE guy is clueless.
Yes, yes and not to mention that grey hair that no one seems to notice or talk about.
Spinning Doritos. Got it!
hahah you are too nice. Love your videos
Fabian Herrmann stop hating on the salt n pepper
back in the day rx7 were rated higher than supras due to there low centre of gravity, perfect weight distribution, light weight but america seems to only drag japanese cars, when they were actually designed for hills and city cornering! Avoiding tax and Hence the low displacement

Also, please do more of these. A lot of us car guys on a budget will appreciate them 😁
If u hv a budget for a car, u dun even think about rotary cars
This car is worth 20k at least
If you're on a budget, get a Miata.
MrPostmancat These arent budget cars at all 25-30k+
@@josephandreuccetti8043 yeah but they aren't anywhere near the cost of foreigns and new model sports cars. Not yet anyway
One more thing to add. NO FAKE VENTS!!! Love that you're adding some older cars. This is great
i agree hehe
Damn this is the first audio I've ever heard that captures the sound of the engine well
That turbo whistle though
Where? Can you give me the time please?
Funny, cuz I've never noticed my FD making that much turbo noise when stock. But then again it only stayed in stock form for a very short period of time so perhaps my memory is a bit murky lol
Japanrocks - they totally could have mounted the microphone in a place which you can't hear from the inside of the car too.

"an uglier rx7 before"
*sad Ryosuke noises*
Is the RX-7 good after 25 years?
Answer: *hell yes*
If it still runs
Its the sexist car ever built😍😍😍😍
@Michael Pullins no you learn a good deal about your engine and timely service it
Mine have been (4 of them)... can't say that about my Porsches, Bentleys or German cars... but maybe that's just me.😁
I really miss driving my ‘94.. it was a fun car but gave lots of headaches. I loved the jet engine sound it made.
i had an 86 single turbo version..variable boost and HKS exhaust, what a beauty,and soo fast
@allstarshinobi99 fast is relative. If that's the only sports car he's ever driven, then I'm sure it felt fast to him. Don't knock it.
Smoked out tail lights were a very 90s trend and it was very very cool. The styling has aged extremely well and it's still a gorgeous car. You look at what Japan was putting out in the early to mid 90s. Most everything was pretty damn sexy. Really nice shapes and curves. I look at the styling of Japanese cars now and I'm like "What 25yr old gamer is styling these things?"
This and the NSX are so so good looking.
I like them more than a Ferrari/ Lamborghini/ Porsche from the 90s.
They look even better now ... One day I'll have a NSX and RX7 FD
I'm drawing a blank here but I don't recall any other 90's car that had smoked out taillights. IIIRC the Tauros had a black outline but the taillights were not blacked out.
I know the latest Civic is a great car but it looks like something out of Transformers to me. And they're for adults?

The most timeless design that has ever come out of Japan. Absolutely gorgeous. I’ve always wanted one!

@@TheStraightPipes This is not the Best RX7 just because It's Twin Turbos! The TYPE RZ is making 285 HP while this version only 255 HP ! And the Best RX7 is known as the Spirit R to be simple!
More of these used car reviews please. That's the first time I've watched a review about the rotary engine. I remember the rotary engine being mazdas unique selling point. Might not have worked out but at least it was innovative.
Sounds a bit like the whine of a super charger.
I'm not certain "innovative" is the word you want. Definitely different, but several manufacturers tried to do something with the Wankels, everyone else just decided it wasn't a good idea. Mazda kind of went "in a penny in a pound" and ran with them for a while until the overwhelming suck finally overcame their momentum. Emissions too. Emissions and suck. The rx7 was a real neat little car though, I'd kill for one with an inline 6, so it'd be a prettier Mazda made Z car, which would rock.
The 1st Gen RX-7 and even Second Gen had decent power for the size. Also the motor was able to sit low and behind the front axle for better weight distribution.
The negative is. The motor is hot, and a lot of that heat transfers into the cabin. My right leg would often sweat from the heat.
@@Kraziken0 Hot. Also horrendously inefficient. Also no torque. Also terrible emissions what with the whole "let's inject oil into the combustion area" thing. Also the whole reliability thing. Basically they're a cool idea but a bad motor.
@@padrescout The non turbo second gen and first gen cars were more reliable. Had a coworker that had over 200k on his second gen. Unfortunately the 3rd gen had a a lot of problems with the complex vacuum system for the twin turbo. And in general not enough cooling from the factory.
@@Kraziken0 My buddy Aarons mom got a second gen. It had electrical gremlins for the 5 years I knew about her having it. This is ..entitled housewife's fun toy she bought brand new and only had serviced at the dealership. .. Also I think we have different standards of reliable. Reliable is not a word I would ever associate with a wankel. It's fine if you like them, aint nobody says you can't. I think they're neat - not sure I'ds use the word like, but I find them interesting - but if you want a weird-as car power-plant thats spinny and out of the ordinary .. but good. Put a Pratt and Whitney in something. They're small, dead reliable, make a different sound. ... melt the road with exhaust :D The kids will love them.
Everything was good until...you called theFC ugly. End of video now!
lol agreed
Facts, they have the uglier one in the video
Yea that dude is a moron as usual
@@jacobrusso3392 are you stoopid
Damn shut up fanboy
the FC is gorgeous too man :'(
I have a 1985 Rx7 (First gen). Best car ever. If you're ever in chicago come review it!

you selling it by any chance? 👀
Nice car man, 13b swap videos were great.
He’s not going to sell It everyone who has old me they had one has said they regret selling theirs that I should keep It that’s why I won’t sell my 1980 7. And some of those people may o happen to own a legit pantera

My dad had a black on black R1 when I was really young. I still see it in my dreams. Really need to get one of these things.
we meet again
Got a 94 black on black R2
What's an R1?
Imagine sitting in a Keisuke yellow RX-7 and failing to mention Initial D even once.
Maybe they didn't watch anime

You can really feel Jakub's excitement and enthusiasm for the RX-7. You can hear it from the way he speaks.

This is your most important review after the Nissan Micra.
Only 29k km! That's nearly new. Somebody has been looking after that.
Mazda Canada!
@@TheStraightPipes no way!! That's so legit. Straight from the source. Please send The Straight Pipes pink t-shirt, K thanks.
I was surprised when I saw the odometer...and it's in km! And the car looks like it's in pristine condition w/ original paint. I salute the owner. You just don't see bone stock FD in such condition and such low mileage it's like spotting an unicorn!
That Racing Mica Yellow paint is a bitch to maintain.....It's prone to fade under extreme sun and heat
I would have been nervous to drive that car. It's basically irreplaceable.
Such a gorgeous car, but it's nearly impossible to find them in stock form now.
I got a stock one, other than a downpipe and exhaust.
So..... it's not stock.
Not really, 2 on BAT now and good history but you need to be willing to travel depending on where you live- but this is always the case. bringatrailer.com/listing/1994-mazda-rx-7-17/
Better than stock. Downpipe removes the precat and a ton of heat from the engine bay. Also easy to replace with stock if you want.
Fcking ricers.... they ruin everything ;-;
I smile for days after a 20 minute drive in my 93 rx7. love it...
Oh and half of my rpm range is not turbo lag, it comes on very very early.
Enjoyed this video! I appreciate your enthusiasm for older, unique and classic imports. I'm partial to Mazda and would love to see retro reviews on MX3, MX6 and Protege5. Keep up the good work. 😀
That turbo whistle is insane!
FYI- that's not normal. Sounds like a boost leak.
Yeah that's not normal. I had one of these and it didn't sound like that.
Super bad boost leak
Adrian Michalski , naaa the whistle is wrong, I have a stock fd, sounds nothing like this one

Loved it! Thank you both for the rotary review.
I had a '94 R2 back in the day, my favorite car I've ever owned. Selling it was a very sad day for me. I have an RX-8 now, which I also really like, but it's not quite the same as the FD. My absolute dream car of the 90s is the NSX though.

Love your channel guys. You do it in such a refreshing and different way which makes it funny and very informative. Please do more used car reviews as well. To be honest, any type of car review you guys do, is a great watch. Keep it going.
Love the used [classics] car reviews. Understanding that which came before, inspired current designers and which generated excitement years ago has value. The RX-7 had Godzilla status on US streets in the mid-nineties for all of the reasons laid out in your video. A co-worker had one in red at the time and it was pure joy to see that work of art in the parking lot on a daily basis. He loved it, too.
So glad I found this 2 years late, lol. I've wanted one of those ever since my best friend got one in high school! Such a cool classic car!
Interesting fact... the classic 70’s AMC Pacer actually incorporated the rotary (Wankel) engine into its design. It’s absence of that engine led to its demise. Well ... not just that alone.
Always have loved the RX-7’s. always will. Particularly these years. Great review Guys. Thanks
Now I know why I had a nice 4th of July. Even if I don't live in the US. Thanks guys.
I have a 93. I've owned it for 20 years. 173,000 miles on two engines. It's AWESOME. Stock except for some reliability upgrades. Aluminum air separation tank. Precat removal. Things like that.
I disagree about not wanting the Touring model. It softens the car just a bit and makes it more livable to drive all the time and on road trips. It still handles great, but just softens it a little.
I also disagree about the sunroof. It doesn't steal space, it adds a little it seems. Most importantly tipping it removes buffeting in the small cabin at moderate speeds with windows down and increases air flow in the cabin at highway speeds without making much noise.
I also prefer the look without a spoiler. Keeps it clean and perfect.
If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.
We have a 1992 M5 that still runs well. It’s at our home in Germany, so great to take it on the curves of the country roads with the top down. Good ole fashioned 90s driving.
I was born in the mid-80s. I maintain, this thing is one of the best looking cars that has been introduced in my lifetime. Favourite angle: 3:55.
This and original NSX....probably top two.
Yeah this is one of the best looking cars ever.
You guys have been my favorite RUclips show for a few months now. Truly hyped for each new video. The yuri-Jakub combo is the best!
And your reviews are inspirational!
This was the video that got me hooked on your Chanel almost 2 years now 🥺
Before I even watch this...YES! It is STILL great after 25 years!!!
I've had several older RX-7' from the 80's. Loved them all!!
What is this? Regular Car Reviews?
Kidding. Love it!
3:26 The RX-7 was not the first production car with sequential turbocharging. The first was the Porsche 959 which started production years prior. It was build in low numbers and sold for huge amounts of money, but still won awards for the worlds fastest street legal "production car", so it should count in my eyes. This is loosely based on my current knowledge from this very moment, so correct me if im wrong. Otherwise, great review. Love seeing old cars reviewed :) Both of you give so much live to this old format. Doesn't seem scripted.
I believe Skyline GT-Rs, at least the R32 generation, had sequential turbos and beat Mazda to production by a couple of years. Sequential turbos were a thing that companies did before turbos all went ball-bearing and had other modern improvements. A well chosen modern single turbo can give the fast spool up of the small turbo, but high CFM of the bigger turbo. As a result, many people who modify sequential dual turbo cars end up converting to a single turbo.
I believe the R32 was a twinturbo (non-sequential). The Toyota Supra MKIV is sequentially turbocharged, but entered production later than the 959 and RX-7.
959 was the first, but the sequential system didn't work as well as on the mazda, probably because it was made in the 80's
@@buubised I don't know how fair it is to compare the 959 to the RX-7. The 959 was produced solely for homologation rules, and less than 400 were ever produced. There were over 800,000 RX-7s produced. 959s weren't even street legal in the United States until 1999, 13 years after the car came out, and 7 years after they stopped production. RX-7s were street legal from the beginning of their production run, which was considerably longer than the 959 as well.
One of my favourite cars of all time! I'd love to see a classic JDM shootout from you guys: RX7, NSX, Skyline GTR, Supra, Evo and STI battle royale!
This is the quality content we've all been waiting for
You guys are really awesome. My new favorite automotive channel!
Your tracking shots are so beautiful. Would you guys do a behind the scenes video please?
Avishar Dutta I think yuri already did
This is so thoroughly entertaining for the duration of the video. Such a good job editing it to keep the rhythm up the whole time. I love it, and I love this car. So sad it has gone out of my price range in recent years.
Gorgeous car. Hope this gets the views it deserves so we can see more used/classic car reviews like this!
Man this car looks so good, especially the rear end and this angle 8:10. I can not get over it💛
Beautiful car! Great review, I'd enjoy watching you review other classics, perhaps even compare them to their modern counterparts
I used to have an RX7 convertible in Black. It was an 88. Not as racey as the last design but that car got me a lot of action!! It was the early to mid 2000s and the car was sexy as a runway model. By then no one knew whether it was some exotic car or a Beemer unless they were an enthusiast. I had to change everything but the engine and usually more than twice, but it was so beautiful and fun to drive on PCH with the top down that it made it all very worth the trouble. Thanks for the vids guys!
Classic car reviews are the way to goo!! (all your videos are great) Keep it up!!
I love that car. I would smear it with oil and rub my naked body over the entire surface. Nice car, nice review.
Yes please, ... more old car reviews.
Hm, same
Hans in tokyo drift was one of my favorite set ups.
I just found ya'lls page yesterday (KONA Review), freakin loved it and rifled through a good 5 more videos while at work, haha! Great work fellas, keep it up...and props to the Element =D
BTW, Jacob... totally feel ya on being tall and fitting into a small car. I'm 6'2" and used to own a Crossfire SRT6 (Great Car!) But I literally did not fit. Everyday I had speedbumps and would hit my head, and while living in Vegas I had a valet park my car. When I got it back, they had adjusted the seat, and it took me like an hour to get it back to Just Right, cause it was the ONLY position I would fit, hahaha! Totally Loved and miss that car... =,(
I have owned a Miata in the past, she was a metallic cherry red with an inlay of crimson. It was BEAUTIFUL, but I'm glad I got the drop top because I'm a little over 6F-5ins tall and the whole upper part of my head stuck out the roof. It was hilarious to drive around and a great little car to own. She met her end when a semi ran a red and I slammed into the back wheels of the trailer. That little car took the hit, protected me, and went out with dignity. God I miss that car.
I recently did a review on the FD RX-7 and MAN did I love it. Although I did barely fit in it...
Thanos owns a vehicle with 50/50 weight distribution.
perfectly balanced, as all things should be
Blueprinted engines in it too...
Does Tony own a 3000 GT then?
A Miata?
Perfect balance
I noticed at 9:22 where you guys we’re driving and I do the same every once in a while. It’s a great area for a cruise. Too bad I didn’t catch you guys filming haha. Love your vids. Nice to see in this area too 👍
Loved this classic car review
Hope you did this more often
This is still a great looking car 25 years later, especially in yellow. Its crazy that this is now a "classic". Doritos are the best!
harrismi7 ”great looking” 🙃
"looking great" 🤔
Looks great, that‘s for sure!
Yes! Thank you StraightPipes!
More used car videos pls! Also, cool song intro. I like how it was timed with the door closing. Wish the song could have played out a bit longer.
I’m glad you pointed out the door shape 👌🔥
Favorite car of all time. Great video
Shout out Engineering Explained! 😎
Just found this review! I sold my 1987 Fox body mustang last weekend and have been going through withdrawals. A buddy of mine turned me on to these and the Nissan R32 GTST’s.
But I’ve seen a few reviews of them LS swapped and it’s been hard to deny. I wanted to see what they were like stock, so score finding your review!
I’m also 6’1” so it was good seeing the ergonomics issues. (The Fox wasn’t much better).
Thanks for the review and the perspective!
Glad I stumbled across your guys channel. You guys are some cool dudes.
Okay...
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE FD RX7.
EVERYTHING
2:15 *Breathes in* ahhh, Classic Japanese racecar smell
I love seeing you guys review/ talk ab older cars

Awesome, you showed Mad Mike from NZ...huge rotary community here in New Zealand.
I think the first car with sequential turbo was the porsche 959 some years before rx-7.
Awesome! One quick note, both turbos are the same size HT21 turbines. Just divided and different Rpm engagement.
Yea, I was about to say the same thing. Except they are HT-12, not 21. Twin Hitachi HT-12 turbos w/51mm turbine & 57mm compressor.
This would have a spot in my dream garage.
The 1993 MKIV Supra TT had a true sequential turbo setup as well. It also had different sized turbos to reduce lag.
Okay.....I realize that I'm commenting on a 2 year old video, but I have two vehicles in the garage that I will never part with.....the
94' red RX-7 Turbo, and the 11' gray Lancer Evolution...... EVER!
Oh, and the 09' Yamaha R1!
Great video!!!!
❤️❤️
Great review. Do a jdm pulsar gti-r. Im intrested in purchasing one of these and would like to get ur take on it.
Ive never clicked off of another straight pipes video that fast before.
Oh and you guys should review a 1st gen acura tsx
Had one. Loved it. FD was also in "Licensed to Drive". Corey Haim drove it. Mine was a red 1994 touring edition....sooo much fun.
Fantastic review guys! More classic (or used) cars please!
I loooovvvvveeee old car review damn let's go boys
"There is no sport mode, THIS IS sport mode...." Ahhh yeah, I remember those times where city cars were city cars, and performance cars WERE performance cars.... for their time that is... because a 300hp car is barely impressing anyone today... xD
cheers!
It's so nice, I bought them twice! Both JDMs, a 1992 silver Type-X auto (similar to the US market 1993 Touring but with +2 rear seats), and a 1993 RZ (they only came in black and manual, with Recaro racing shells, Bilstein shocks , BBS wheels, and other interior goodies on top of the US R1/R2). Currently rebuilding both, hope to have them up and running soon.
Great review men. I passed on one of these new many years ago when they were in the early teens. Anyway I've had a lot of great cars since. Cheers🍻

Thank you, definitely more of these please.
Ha! I was selling these NEW back in the day and was even fortunate enough to have one as a demo. Pretty good gig for a 25 yo. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
That engine is a piece of art which deserves a place not in a museum, but in the Valhalla! It is not the most reliable or the most efficient, but maybe one of the most endearing.
That engine is a piece of shit which deserves a place in a junkyard. Prettiest car of the 90s. Ls swap it.
@@anthonyhodgson2934 Your bain dead if you think an LS swap is a good idea. The whole car was designed solely with the rotary in mind. Doing an engine swap will completely destroy the weight distribution and handling, not to mention it will most likely be slower aswell. If your too dumb to know how to handle a Rotary then just stay the hell away from the car altogether. Get a shitty C4 Corvette if you want an American V8 in a 90's coupe.
@@dirtyd9219 I don't have one lol. Swapping it makes it much much faster but it ruins the handling characteristics of it if you put in an LS since it's so much heavier than the Rotary. I suppose the correct thing to do would be to put something similar to the weight of the rotary into it so that the suspension still does what it was meant to do. I only said LS swap because that is common for these kinds of vehicles and there are many kits that you can get it done with. You are brain-dead if you think that it will be slower with a Corvette motor in it. But I will stay away even though these cars are gorgeous I don't think the shell is worth as much as they charge for it and the Rotary is a ticking Time Bomb so I'd never want a complete one. I will stick to my 90's Hondas Nissans and Ford's as I always have. By the way there was no need to insult me personally I never insulted anyone only the flawed engineering of the rotary motor.
@@dirtyd9219 Check it out. Turbo rotary vs LS2. ruclips.net/video/6Pay_-WMK_Y/видео.html
5:19 FC was ugly?!?!😲 Pretty sure the RX-8 was the only weird looker, but to each their own.😕
Richard Exactly.
RX8 can look really nice but it needs to be lowered a bit with some decent wheels to do it imo. The FD looks downright amazing bone stock though.
@@Saboda53 I have an RX-8 in black, not as fast as the RX-7 but I say a much friendlier handle and a smoother and comfortable ride in my opinion.
The 8 is an amazing design
I may be biased because I own a couple FC's but I think in comparison to the FD's modern classic look the FC's really scream period 80's. I think that makes them cool in there own rate but I think we can all agree they are underrated.
i have two rx7s-a 1984 12A fb that i daily and a 1993 touring fd that a drive a few times a month. they are both incredible, and modified only so much to keep their life support in tip-top shape. no cosmetic changes other than suspension and exhaust. the fd truly rules. it's pushing ~300hurspurrs to the wheels and is a blast to rip around in. after 25 years, it still looks great and throws people back in the seat when the second turbo's boost hits.
BEST. REVIEW. EVER. From you guys!
