I'm a pretty simple guy..I see a clean, boosted rx7...I hit like.
Nothing more natural than that!
Brandon G except a peripheral ported four rotar.
...they're all boosted though...
Anyone know if this stuff is twin turbo or single turbo?
@@akenohimejima1126 For an FD to make 650hp they are usually doing it on a single turbo
Great video guys! the FD has got to be one of the greatest driving experiences!
That car is toast now. Go on ig @15stingray
This channel is so underrated.... Nice review man keep em' going !
true
+S-chassis Very true, I just subscribed
that is SUCH AN UNDERSTATEMENT. THIS CHANNEL IS CRAZY! I BARELY KNOW ANY CHANNELS THAT WERE THIS PRO WHEN THEY STARTED! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
I agree bro
at 3:20 you can see the awesome wood spacer under the wing mount , love it .
Ha ha i noticed that too and went to the comments to see if anyone else did......did you also notice the color matched piece of tape covering a hole just to the left of the wing bracket lol
Hey guys! Hope you enjoyed this episode. Remember NEW videos every Tuesday and Thursday from now on :D Don't forget to give us a like on Facebook and follow us on Instagram! See you soon!
can you do a 240sx next?
You have some serious filming and editing skills! Great video!
yes! that is one sick FD for sure. that car is set up properly, perfect amount of pull and everything. win!
+Roads Untraveled lets see his friend's soarer when its ready
+Lachlan1662 Motor is assembled he needs to rebuild the trans and get a push pull conversion kit for his clutch then to put it all back in the car and a tune. Maybe by the summer time his car will be ready
One of the best videos on CZcams for the audio alone.
abracing199 I totally agree
Bro you make some quality videos.
+BTroxTV Thanks! Grayson and I started with music videos (our most popular has 920,000 views) and now we're doing this! It's a lot of fun.
- Marcus
+Roads Untraveled It shows. You really know what you're doing with filming. Are you using both a steady cam and slider dolly for the shots around the car?
+BTroxTV Yepp, we use both.
+Roads Untraveled Can you link the music video?
+Evan G czcams.com/video/A6B0ioncISA/video.html
These were such a timeless look as well. They looked great back then and they still do today.
That MCM chopped fingers sticker on the back window is great!
those chopped fingers in the back window! MCM!
Chopped!! Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!!
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaad
Maaaaaaaadddddddddd
your videos are so good you guys deserve way more attention, great quality
+Sour Dsul thanks!
0:43 and when the song says listen, got goosbumps down my arms. Awesome editing.. Only channel i watch in full-screen. Keep it up
Great production quality and car selection. I'm surprised I have not seen this channel before. SUBSCRIBED!
I am digging the color! Nicely done review fellas, I like hearing from the owner as well as your opinion.
+moostang09 Thanks for the feedback man!
Whatever you're doing with your sound for these videos, keep doing it! The engine and exhaust sounds always come through so much clearer than any of the other other CZcams car review channels for some reason. Awesome when I want to live vicariously through someone else driving great cars!
Just found this channel from the turbo 940 video and I gotta say this is one of my new favorite channels & totally underrated. Keep it up guys, I love your work!
Just noticed he has the MCM chopped sticker on the back, love it!
Wow, amazing video as always. The FD has such a timeless look, Mazda won't ever make anything that beautiful again.
man the filming is next level on this good job. deserves so many more subscribers
Honestly probably one of if not my favourite review on CZcams, killer work roads untraveled keep it up!
Hey Look guys! you can actually modify an RX-7 without an LS swap! So stop swapping LS junk into a Iconic Car.
ls junk? you mean that ls that weights as little as v6 makes more power then rotary ever will the one that is more reliable and cheaper?
+nawzy202 considering a 2 rotor can make more power than a v8? weighs 3x less? has like a quarter of the displacement? that's what I though
+Strength OD which v8 though? which rotary makes more power we are talking about extreme power here let me see 2000hp rotary and il show u 2500hp ls. Rotary is a failed engine its a two stroke design burns more oil then my semi truck
+nawzy202 k show me your 2500 hp ls that isn't even practical can't run on regular fuel(isopropyl probably) and needs 3million sprays of nos, not only that but every 2 runs it needs a new build because the stress that is endures makes no more sense than semi truck uphill racing. Show me a practical ls v8 that can out do a practical rotary. O
+Strength OD you kidding right practical rotary? there is no such think even stock its a 100k milage engine if you lucky. how much do u know about rotary and the problems it has? it burns more fuel ten ls engine per liter. its more expensive to rebuilt the power output is weak how about difference is temperatures on the rotary sides resulting in poor sealing and low compression. take 650hp practical not only will ls make those power easy it will last a lot longer and be cheaper to build.
If you can find a badass RX-3 you should check one of those out! Much love for rotary :D
One of the best reviews EVER. Quality is on point..Great editing..Great reviewing skills and that 3rd Gen Rx7 đ sooooo sick.
i seriously cannot get over how great this car sounds, its amazing
second song is Dropout- Hollywood Horror
Love the "chopped" sticker!!!! MCM fan for sure!!!
how I havnt found you sooner.. wtf your on point, you sound confident you drive with a fearless confidence. commentary is A+. happy to be a new subby chur the bros keep it up
The shots in this video were awesome. Thank you guys for another amazing video.
a very well done rx7
ONly 52k subs? :| You deserve more. LOve the videos. Hopefully when my STi is done you can come to California for some fun!!
Funny how you write "done" like a tuned car owned by a car guy could be "done". :D
Tac Junior I know. They're never done..
first time on this channel tonight but u deffo got a new sub love how u tell about the car while driving and hearing the owners story! keep up the good work man :)
The camera work is just beautiful , and I couldn't believe how well the done the work was . The final result is overall satisfying and just amazing quality work.
What happen to the air filter lolz . Pressure too much haha .
Thank god it doesnât have a LS engine in it
its about to be parted out
Brook Taylor-Richards what do you mean
RotaryKidVideos I'm parting out the car lol.
Brook Taylor-Richards oh okay
rx7boy had to sign a court order to not drive it for 3 years and want to pay off debt and it also has a vehicle inspection notice on it. Which makes it not road legal. And it currently has 5000km on it as it's been parked for the last 7 months in a government seizure yard.
Amazing video man, quality is great on them all! I love that he kept the rotary in this build, see lots of swaps..
This is one of the most beautifully shot car video i think ive ever seen. A+
BRAP BRAP BRAP BRAP BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
I love RX-7s and I would own one but I don't have the knowledge it takes to own one of these. It would probably take years of studying the rotary to be able to make that power and maintain it as a street car. For example an MX-5 is probably one of the most basic engines out there and is really easy to maintain and make power. It is one of those cars that I really love but would sadly never own. :(
www.rx7club.com is by far the best forum ever
Rotary engines are really simple to pick up actually... I guarantee you'd get it if you tried. BUT they have terrible gas mileage no joke -__-
Leave it stock and you'll be fine. Trust me. Modify the shit out of it and expect problems, 'cause you asked for it!
LSs are not cheaper i can say that lol
If you're picking one from a junkyard okay but it's not that cheap to buy it brand new
Hi from Byron Bay Australia, really enjoying your videos, keep it up, you're gunna be huge one day soon! My father bought a brand new series 2 RX 7 back in the day, I've loved rotaries ever since. I agree, the FD is one of the best looking Japanese cars ever, this one looked so cool in green.
Dude, you guys are very professional and I love watching you guys. Keep doing what you'er doing and you'll get to a million subs in no time. All your shots are great, the camera work is top-notch and I can see you have a real passion for the cars the way you talk about them. I get just as giddy when driving.
is that plywood under the base at 3:20?
Paused to look at that too. Maybe it's some sort of cork-gasket to stop leaks into the trunk. I just cut some custom shapes out of black rubber for that purpose for my MX-5.
same at 1:32 under the wing
Love me some rotisserie engines
Really nice review of these awesome cars. Nice camera work. Thanks for eliminating the music so we could hear how the car sounds while driving and accelerating and for giving the owner a chance to talk about his car. As a long time rotary enthusiast, I also appreciate you helping to dispel the myths about reliability. Yeah, you have to take care of them, but why wouldn't someone take care of a $35K car.
Video quality is special man.
Thanks!
Bautiful car! I wish RX-7s were cheaper in Europe...
+Sofair the FB/SA22 are pretty cheap, the FD's are 10-20k
+Sofair They are cheap in Europe. Especially in the uk. Go look on Pistonheads!
+The Real Santa Claus Yeah, sadly FDs are
+Justinus van Linden That's true, but pretty much all of them are RHD, which isn't very practical in mainland Europe
+Sofair - Mainland Europe as opposed to?
BRAP BRAP BRAP BRAP!!!!
amazing edit. I have to re-watch the intro over and over again.
Your videos are crisp! Always on point !
Also love how you downshift every 2 minutes :D
..that red tint tho.
R34 done Supra done Rx-7 done. Wheres the NSX?
Check the channel again! You must've missed our feature on 6 NSX's :p
Besides the colors on this car everything is perfect. The noises this thing makes are unreal.
Man you really are steping in the game, hope there is lots of videos like this to come
Ship Wrek & Zookeepers - Ark incase anyone cares.
Thanks!
+Plantbased David â thank you mate!
It sounded so familiar to me but I just didn't have a name haha xD
Also thanks mate!
Thank you!
Red tinted windows ? Dafaq?
Its a trend from japan in the 90's in drifting culture. Im sorry if my spelling is bad im not from the us
i don't often subscribe to car channel here, but I just subscribed to this one because of this car!
I enjoyed a lot, it felt you all have sense of exhaust, rotray engine, car symmetry and all of above you guyz are passionate about car, feel it and loves to drive. Keep it up hoping for more videos like this. Well i m new to this channel.
when the LS1 swappers argue that their swap gives more power, lol they forget that they fuck up the near perfect weight distribution of 50/50 lol the Rex 7 was meant to have a rotary!
Another one lol. Im all for rotaries but go read about this bedore you start chatting shit on here.
Abhir Malhotra um the car was engineered around the rotary engine, by placing another engine of course you offset the original engineered design of the cars center of gravity, weight distribution and various other things, its not to the exaggerated point you may have taken it as, but enough to disrupt the design in which the RX7 was originally made. Maybe you should learn more about the physics of a car and what effects it rather than simply relying on what you feel or think is better. its cool man i was just poking fun at the LS1 swappers but of course we get dudes like you who take a literal serious notion on a comment like mine :)
+Katsu Wolf actually the ls1 doesnt cause all the many problems you might think it would. Everybody thinks that.
Abhir Malhotra it disrupts its original engineered balance. any modification will effect a vehicle in some way or another, its not a problem, I never said it was. I simply stated it creates an unbalance, the LS1 is a massive engine compared to the rotary. it is heavier than the rotary. this is a disruption and imbalance of the original design. do you have the years of experienc and credentials like the engineers behind the FDs design? no, while yes engine swapping works. it doesnt mean its perfectly balanced. or perfectly tuned. as cars are designed around a one specific engine that fits its purpose.
+Katsu Wolf what you are saying is absolutely right. A car is designed for an engine and changing that will disrupt balance. However with the ls swaps the imbalance is so less that its no problem at all. And yes the rotary is lighter provided its NA. With a turbocharger and all associated plimbing the weight difference is probably single digits. So its never a problem and not enough the change the car feels driving through a canyon. Isnt that what matters? Technically however you are absolutely right. You are right if ones follow the book. Peace. đđ»đđ»
28 ppl don't like the sound of maaad engineering!! haha get back to your prius or v8 hehe....
just because of this gorgeous RX7, had to subscribe and hit that like button. just perfection!!keep it up man..
Beautiful RX7! Subbed because of this and your R32 video! Did take my fd3s type rz single turbo out yesterday for the first time in 6 months, and boy how much fun it is to drive! Cant wait for summer!
87 hell cat fans disliked this video lol
chopped sticker at the back? :)
maaaaaad
CHOPPED!
Why you don't have more subs is a mystery to me, great edits, great shots, and great commentary in a very likeable way. Keep up the good work!
Amazing job as always, really love your videos and I've been following all big youtubers since forever and you are right up there with them. Top work, very humble, informative and enthusiastic, very easy person to like. Keep doing what you do! I got recently into the JDM scene as I just got a full stock 1994 R32 GT-R V-Spec II so I really enjoy these videos. Cheers.
do you need engine rebuild every 5000 miles?
+Chinaman Champ If you hate is your problem, but dont lie.
its a question. If it is really reliable I would buy one.
is not as reliable as a "normal" engine, but if you keep it with good oil it will run pretty hard for quite a lot of time, obviously way more than just some 5000 miles, maybe you should look for a local owner and check for comments in rx forums.
+Chinaman Champ 120,000 miles on my 13b rew before i had to swap out my apex seals, total cost for a rebuild $1,200. The engines are better then piston engines, there are less then 10 moving parts in the engine which means less to break. Keep in mind the rotary originally is an airplane engine so it's only natural that it's reliable. Only those who don't know anything about Automobiles claim the rotary is unreliable. those are usually the same idiots who high rev a non high rev engined vehicle and expect it not to shoot a rod, which the rotary never do because no rods. The car was designed for racing first, economy second.
i love how it says it puts out 650 for click bate but in reality 550
Nope. 650 HP = 550 WHP
so 650 at the crank?
lol bud, every OEM used that trick, BHP is different from WHP
This kid
I still would have clicked the video even if it was only 550 hp....
Videos keeps getting better and better. so awesome to see
amazing production skills man! new fav channel
Title says 650 horsepower. Description says 546whp. Why not just be super transparent and put the whp figure everywhere? That's what tuner culture goes by anyways. Number inflation is a cancer in car culture, and very annoying.
+Numinous A lot of people that aren't as nerdy about cars only know #'s like the Hellcat's 707hp, Corvette's 650hp, or a Porsche 911 that has 500hp. This RX7 has 650hp, plain and simple. I'm sorry you find crank hp figures annoying!
Roads Untraveled What you call nerdy others call honest. And apparently you don't know too much about car culture. The only major group that discuss bhp (i.e., crankshaft horsepower) is auto manufacturers, LOL. Engine builders do too, obviously, but that's because they hook up the engines they build to engine dynos, not chassis dynos.
Any respectable tuner never talks about bhp. Power at the crank is irrelevant to performance enthusiasts. It's what you put down to the ground that matters.
Number inflation, pure and simple. And even the 540+ was smoke and mirrors because he kept talking about it being on a 500whp tune throughout the vid. Call a duck a duck, simple as that. It MADE 540+. It is MAKING 500whp. One day he HOPES TO MAKE 650whp.
Rich Samuelson I'll just call a liar a liar. Or, to give the benefit of the doubt, semantics semantics. But let's be clear: there was NO 650whp car in this vid, period. As someone who has tuned Mazdas, I can't stand number inflators.
Well your point in your last comments were how little people talk about HP at the crank. In my experience people talk about whatever they like. Either one of us cannot say exactly how folk behave everywhere in the world. But yeah, I agree with the click bait figures..
Rich Samuelson Agreed. And that's my point. It's a form of click bait, leaving the number-inflation "issue" that's prevalent in car culture aside.
is it 650 or 500 or 540 or 546 or 550? stop changing it
Roughly 650 HP at the crank which = 546 whp that it was recently dynoed at. In the video it's at 500whp. I said all of this in the video.
+Eli George Stop changing it? Seems like you couldn't pay attention and understand.
Your content is top notch, the editing is spot on I see you having a lot of subscribers as soon as more see your channel good luck mate!
IMO this is the best channel for stuff like this.
this is sad in a way because we all know this motor is gonna blow in no time
Lol nice joke!, you should become a comedian
Rotary engines don't blow.. they're made to be revved high and hard. The rotor heads will wear out after 60,000 miles, which even for an average daily driver is 6 years away..
+Shona I put 18,000 km on one of my motors in less than a year lol
+Brook Taylor-Richards Which is around 11,000 miles. The average mileage per annum for a day driver is 10k - 12k miles. You're not special princess.
+Shona It was about 8 months of driving the car. and was just saying for driving a car that is built you dont see many driving that much.
Why put 650hp in the title..? No need to lie
It's only 50hp off what it was making in this video. Why bitch about it?
+Tommy
With 540 WHP, 650 is a pretty good estimate of what the engine puts out before drivetrain losses. It is a number that can be used to compare to the hp numbers that manufacturers put out.
+PacificCoastAuto hey my boy Derek watches roads untravelled too?!
+PacificCoastAuto I understand but 650hp was never mentioned by the owner or recorded on the dyno tests. No big deal, just saying Roads Untravelled should put the actual numbers not a 'pretty good estimate' to attract viewers. Still an amazing car and great vid.
+Tommy pretty much all tuned cars are CZcams are listed by their estimated crank hp rather than their recorded whp. This is nothing new.
Yes, I am an FD3 fan and I enjoyed the video, thanks! I owned one a few years ago and everything you said about living with one is true, mine was a DD. Special car it is.
gorgeous car and great review. keep em coming!
way to lie about the hp
+DannyH Hey! So basically there's two kinds of HP. HP measured once it reaches the ground, and HP at the crank in the engine, generally about 15% is lost through the drivetrain. So the new Challenger Hellcat has 707HP as Dodge advertises it, but if you were to put it on a dyno it would read somewhere around 600HP at the wheels. Same story here. This car has around 650HP at the crank, which equals out 546 HP at the wheels which is what the dyno graph read. Thanks for watching!
+Roads Untraveled I get that but putting a false number on the title is misleading just say the whp of the cars or in the title or specify that it's crank horsepower.
+DannyH We're just trying to appeal to the widest audience possible, and by putting "WHP" in the title, it will confuse a LOT of people who don't know what WHP is. Same if we put "650 HP (At the crank)" in the title, people will be just as confused. The car has 650HP as I just explained, no false numbers! Drive channel, Motor Trend, EVO, and a bunch of other channels do the same thing, using the HP metric that manufacturers use is just easier and everyone gets it.
Roads Untraveled why donât u just put 546HP in the title. Problem solved...
it's so ugly though
+zum Personal preference i guess =)
the fd rx7 is gorgeous, I just hate that color
+JustKyzuuh i love it! matter of taste
+lelegume1635 for sure! it's his car, if he loves it then that's what matters! that green is definitely unique though!
I reckon you drive a Prius or some similar shit...
You guys always have the most amazing camera work.
Awesomeness all in this video, what great production!
Brook-Taylor; I love the car man, so beautiful!!!
congrats to both of you. very good work as always
After I watched this video, i want to buy an FD RX7 so bad. love the exhaust note, and the turbo spool.
First of all, your videos are top notch. Extremely well put together with awesome cars. Second, I love the MCM CHOPPED! fingers on the right side of the rear window. I have them on my STI on the same side of the window. Always enjoy seeing the MCM love!
Man this is the Best video on the channel.love this Rotary
This video made me a new subscriber, loving the vehicle choices, keep up the great vids and i'll hit that bell for ya and pass on the word
Love the editing man! And the Zelda touch in the beginning ;)
Duuuuude I followed you since your Underdog video or a little earlier, and you've only gotten better! Good shit man! Dunno if you'll recall my main issue was I loved your music choices but they weren't balanced with people talking.... You hammered it out reasonably now. Good work dude.
that green seriously works with that rx7..a beauty. thanks for sharing, aloha from hawaii!
As usual, great video man! Absolutely love that Rx7.. Except for the red window tint lol
man that lake looks so amazing too! I would love to fish that lake. that's a beautiful RX7 too.
Good video! Always loved this car, so thanx!!
Just came across this channel. GREAT video, amazing quality...gonna go really far.
+FideTheProducer Thanks!
Very well made, props dude.
Awesome quality man! Got yourself a new sub.
What a cool video. Very well done sir! The music choice, camera angles, landscape and road choice all come together magnificently! I think it's very strange in a good way how the exhaust honestly sounds kinda fart can like when cruising at low rams, but when you rev it out all the way it sounds like its going to rip the doors off! Really cool car no doubt about it
Woot! Another Forcefed tuned car! They tuned my FD and my old turbo FC. Marco is the man!
Absolutely beautiful video! Rotary is life.
the editing in the intro is a real work of art in this video
Glad I found your channel show casing nice cars in Beautiful British Columbia! Even better in the lower mainland
Damn. . Really great Car !
Roads Untraveled, it's always a pleasure to see your video !
1.3 full of angry bees !
BRAP from Switzerland !
