We tried really hard to get the EVO 9 wagon onto the dyno this week but due to scheduling issues it didn’t happen so enjoy this video which is one of our favourite builds and we will be back next week with the conclusion of the Evo 9
We appreciate your guys' hard work. I'm sure you all would have release the Evo video if you could have! Thanks for giving the audience something to hold us over until the next update!
This car was awesome
Awesome transformation...question...can you get the rear inner panels for the Fd that came with the rear seats? I'm having a hell of a time trying to source some as they were never offered here in the states
Easily one of the nicest looking RX7’s out there, love that blue colour.
Awww man FD is one of the greatest looking cars of all time!
First off, Happy Fathers Day to Dave and Peter and every Dad in this chat. 2nd, thx for this vid! My dream JDM car being built back to life and in the Blue Mica paint as well! FLAWLESS guys!
FD RX7 and the S2000...... the two most beautiful cars to come out of Japan design studios in the (more or less) modern era. Let's face it, you're never going to outshine the lines of old Datsuns or that 1st gen Celica 😉
NSX is pretty nice too. But yeah I love my fd more.
Super-satisfying video for a legendary JDM beauty! Small detail, don't forget to duck the audio during your narration, as it was a bit hard to hear what Dave was saying. You guys are the best!
Beautiful! That sound is amazing!
The look of RX 7 is timeless and with a blue color...man it looks so great...even though I'm not a big fan of Rotary engines I wish I could have RX 7 in my garage in the future...
Pretty close to my ideal FD street build. These wheels are magnificent and I'll have to pick up a set one day
I wish I could get college credit from this Academy
😂
I love RX7 FD... But it's sad that you didn't make the most of it... they sold so quickly!!!
That blue color! Models RS 1998-2000 were the best looking FDs and one of the best ever sport car designs. Also, what a good taste in wheel design you have!
this is the blueprint for a perfect FD... sold my FC and FD back in 2006... one day i'll replace them and this will be the recipe.
Ah man I'm leaving a comment for no other reason than to help your video performance cause I respect what you've built over the years!
What a colour. Love these build guys. Keep it up and thanks.
remember to dip the music when narrating
One of my favourite cars you guys have built over the years. Absolutely gorgeous car!
That custom adapter harness is sooo satisfying
I've ridden in an fd with similar power and response. It is wild! You really don't need a ton of power in those things to have a blast and stain some shorts 😂😂 awesome build! Sadly with cars, you have to move some on once they've been revived to make room for others
Damn that’s a beautiful car. Excellent work by everyone.
Great choice for a replay and I’m looking forward to the EVO update.
Definitely one of my favourite builds that you guys have done, shame that you had to let it go, but I know you guys will find another rotary one day!
Still love it. Love the build. Love the people involved. Thanks for the rerun boys
I would love y’all to do a ReRun on the Honda ASS2000 videos and make a highlights video 😂
Still my fav car you guys have built
love how the hood just closed on its own during that dyno
its like the car just said “alright that’s enough” lol
Damn, that car is undeniably beautiful!
Still sad this and the S15 did not go on track, I love track videos !
Dangerous move pulling the trans drain plug before the fill… I had to pull the trans on my Mazda because the fill plugged was super seized. Car looks fantastic.
I loved this build, great job guys!
It's like saturday morning cartoons I loved as a kid!!! Nice!
Congrats on getting it all together. Looks great!
She is a beaut! Great job, lads
That color really does it for me!
perfect wheel choice
ITS PERFECT!!!
Great Job Guys!!!
Nice car. Definitely a dream ride now.
Lmao, I tried getting my gtr tuned by Radek and the dude just ghosted me.
The “dyno stand” looked a little dodgy tbh. Maybe it’s a good thing he ghosted you.
@@TML34 he’s a good tuner don’t get me wrong, I just don’t know why he suddenly stopped responding to me. I asked to kindly setup a Dyno day etc and how much his rates were. I wasn’t being pushy, and he was actually being helpful! oh well…
if he’s a good tuner then he wouldn’t ghost his customers 😂
Dam no videos from gears and gasoline or speed academy on the same day
Minus we’ll get those calipers done now!!!😎🤙
Hell yea! Brap brap brap
Wow looks amazing, I love this color
It’d be cool to see this and @smeedia RX7 together! Both awesome RX7 restorations!
Beautiful combo! Love it!
Love the color and great build.
These cars age so well
I wanted to see rpm on the dyno chart... I hope the owner is enjoying that beaut of an rx7
Lovely build
My dream build !!
Absolute work of art 😍👌
The design is timeless. Why can't they do this now? Everything looks angry
Righttt, the cars that companies took a risk with turned out to be some of their most iconic. Like the Porsche 928, it was quirky, went off course from their usual design style and who knew it would have such a cult following. It’s definitely one of the most beautiful cars ever in my opinion. It was aggressive but still balanced that aggressiveness with those soft body lines that flowed towards the rear end. Just perfection.
Because of regulations which requires cars to have a certain height to minimize risk of death when someone got rammed by the car.
Very nice love the stance
And offset 👍
I wish I could afford another daily car so that I could fully strip my RX-8 down and get it fully redone and prepared for when I can afford to 3-Rotor swap it
Anyone else miss Ken’s RX7 after watching this.
How about the celica at the back , great video 👍
Another banger guys!!
BEAUTIFUL !!!
17:32 "If you can do better than 180K, they can't catch you"
Dave still losing sleep over those front calipers.
Was hoping for 4g63 content but this will do
Did you connect the OEM dashboard wire harness to the Haltech ECU? If so, how did you achieve this?
Fully custom or using an off the shelf adapter harness?
Love me a 99 spec rx7 😮
so do we hate working on rotaries or not...getting mixed messages lol
Once you're used to it, working on a rotary isn't that bad. There's not a lot to them, and the size allows easy access to accessories etc. On my FC RX7 the bay is arranged so it's very easy to pull/install/service the motor, but the FD may be similar to my friend's RX8 which has the motor so far back and down that it's frustrating to work on.
i used to sell cars in the late 90s and early 2000 s and a solder here in tn traded one of these in freshly rebuilt with a twin turbo set up of course i called a friend and we went on a test drive coming around a corner at about 90 degrees boost creep comes in and sling shots us into a sign and a farmers fence and land . luckily a friend with a truck was able to pull us out there was damage to the rear so we went to my friends house and put some work in finally i get it back to the dealer and he asks did you sell it ...i said no and went into my office wondering if the minor damage was going to be noticeable luckily it was not and it sold 5 days later .
Could you guys do a d series build?
Sadly, it looks like the tune didn't fix the mid range response. Did you manage to figure out the issue?
Did I hear Brampton let’s gooooooo 🙏
Hey guys just wondering what that protective wrap is called? I’m about to get my project back from paint and still have some engine work to do any help appreciated!
It's weird to see an FD not lowered
What plugs are/ were you using?
WOW !!
Love it!
She rips
Just curious, when you V mount the radiator and intercooler, fans are not necessary?
Fans are present and mounted on the back side of the radiator
Dream car!
No catalytic convertor on this one?
How do I get one of your hats?!? Huge fan here
Wait, is this Mighty Car Mods RX-7, or my eyes are deceiving me? XD
Great build! If I may though - the edit for this vid felt too rushed with Pete getting dimmed off mid sentence which felt somewhat wrong....
Sale price?
Guys forgot to add "cheap" or "budget" build to the title.
My dream car and it's in blue 😢
Lets get tou guys to 1 million subscribers!!!!!! Hit that subscriber button
If I remember correctly, you guys sold the car.
don’t let rob watch this
what hood is that?
Marty from mightycarmods?
🤔 did it go to Mighty Car Mods?
Sad to her go!
Music name from 0:10?
Building another one? Or reposting the old video🤔🤔🤔

😍
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That music is too loud
Turn down the music during a voice over, shit was rough listening.
Shameful short cut on the brakes how disappointing
It's not pronounced hall tec just like the name al with a h in front haltec
Please give me that car...🥺
