Drift Review | FC RX7 LS Swapped!

- In this review we do Harrsions super simple, yet very effective LS Swapped FC RX7. It has no power steering so it was quite unique to drive. And I got to review it on a rad Kart Track!

Let me know what you thought of this video! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Aaron: wanna do a chase ca- oh...
Taylor: it’s me
Aaron sounded so confused for a second there😂😂
O actually like the manual steering. It forces you to try and link everything so the car steers for you. It's more handbrake than to initiate with a kick and try to keep sliding as much. I do kill tires faster and have the stuff to put power steer in but I've gotten used to it. I know I have less steer issues than I see power guys have. I don't eat the rods as fast as other cars like mine but power.
Love the videos taylor !! Keep it up
Dude, I subscribed for the build stuff, but now you got me really interested in these drift reviews. This shit is awesome!!! You are really good at this...
Thanks for the video, that rx7 is a monster. I'll definitely be checking out his videos.
Dude Harrison’s a bad mother, both his rx7 and Volvo 240 are plain Jane but he fucking shreds in them. I did a ride along with him a few years back and he’s nuts behind the wheel, he doesn’t look like someone who would even be into cars lmao
I think the problem is that with the manual steering you cant rely on the handbrake to extend into the next corner as doing both manual steering with one arm and the handbrake with the other while trying not to clutch kick hard is not easy.
Love all the handbraking it’s dope rippin the e brake
B roll, a nice addition to the editing :)
Perfect timinging just got off work an a new video from Taylor
Deangelo Lawson shit same here. Nice while to relax after work!
I’ve drifted with that Harrison drifted kid but it was on FM7 👌🏽pretty good lol
These reviews are getting better every episode Taylor. They're a perfect filler till the next project release
Harrisons Car Is hands down my Favorite Lone Star Drift Car, I'm also building an RX-7 FC that I'm converting into a truck & stuffing a 416ci LS/CD009 as well. Keep Up The Good Work Taylor & Shout Out From Dallas Tx
Sounds sick... Show us pics
Poor rx7 man, you are gonna destroy that structural rigidity
Don't worry fellas it's getting a 10 point chromoly cage soon
Love the vid
I miss my FC :( Worst decision of my life selling that car
I remember watching a video of Harrison practicing 100 mile entree and saw the men was driving without ps. I went outside and deleted my ps instead of fixing it and been drifting it like that since definitely different but I like it.
my 82 rx7 came factory with only power assist.
that car has soul man lmao seriously tight i love the fc.
sweet video
Nice video Taylor! Would've been a nice touch to add some in car footage of Harrison driving too so we could see the owners style compared to yours at that track :)
awesome. love me an FC. now can we please get back to building stuff?
FC no power steering life is not bad after the first week lol, his car is nice, but I really wish is was rotary still.
its his car so whatever lol! dope vid!
#savethebrap
Harrison's cool cause he daily's a sick NB mx5 :P
Are you going to be at gridlife this weekend?
oh boy, this is gonna be a good one
Makes me miss my 86 gxl lol
6:30 he has a minimap in the sunroof :P
I see LS Swapped, I click like.....
Ayyy Harrison 🤘
Come to see this video before I go for exams for a)See you drift b)to read the comments about how HIS car can't be called rx7 anymore!!Haha 😂
Thanks for being a real og and always commenting on and watching the videos!!
I know you didn't prefer the manual steering but I believe this is the first car you didn't say anything about the steering wheel position. Lol
Adam’s car idles so fricken loud with those cams
AK Media Only one cam in these motors. Push rods baby!
Russell Krue read the comment you reply to before you write your comment....
Marcus Brady Alright dude, good luck with your day
8:53 As Adam goes past lol. No hate tho Adam kills it
Your used to the easy 350z haha
Put the white and red striped sweater and beanie back on, so we'll know where Waldo is again,!!!! I guess this dude is the drift world Guru!!!!!!
What kind of aftermarket sunroof does he have in there?
Can you start ranking each car you review so we can see how they stack up at the end of each video?
What kinda roll cage is that where did he get it from or where did he get it fabricated please let me know i wanna get one for my fc drift build expect me in lone star drift 2020 if not 2021 😂😎
Saturn Vue steering columns are cheap and allow you to fit power steering in pretty much anything. Electric so no PS pump needed. Not that uncommon in the track car circle.
Anyone else notice Adam lz 240sx in the background 3:17
That’s cool man! I do think it’s a crime to drop a V8 in an RX7, but not cos of the whole rotary thing. Just cos I think if you choose a Japanese car then you should be choosing the Japanese turbo ways. But each to their own, I mean rotary is a pain to live with especially if you’re abusing it.
Is that a track map on Harrison's sunroof?
xxd0ntl00kawayxx harris hill raceway in San Marcos Texas👍🏻
3rd one😂😂
Don't say no to a free camera angle!
What do you think of the inline hand brake rather than dual caliper??
boostingsideways Harrison built the car for simplicity and reliability. Only doing what’s actually necessary for the events we drive.
Yeah. I’m asking Taylor what he thought of it because he’s mentioned in the past he doesn’t like inlines. And I’d have to imagine he was feeling the difference especially when left foot breaking.
boostingsideways my bad totally misread your comment.
What kind of ls?
Did he mean to flip everyone off at the end there?
I dont have PS while I drift....
In the words of Taylor... "...I aint no bitch"
Notification sqaud
Steer with the gas pedal homie
Nowadays you can easily add power steering without all the BS. Toyota Yaris, echos, corrollas have a good power assist steering. All you do is weld in the yaris steering assist in between your steering column and power wire it.
power assist is not real power steering just syaing.

Nice car and not tryna sound like a hater but I hate engine Swaps on rx7’s unless they bought the car without an engine there’s 4 rx7 hardbacks near me with no engine and one with a 302 in it that’s blown and rusted and 2 convertible’s with the motor still in it and the only hardback with the 13b has lambo doors and the interior mainly stripped which is alright for a race build but it’s just so hard to find a hardback under 9k with the motor in it buy an empty shell and build off that or just buy the car that has the motor
he won pro am? for less than 5 grand.
😛
Lol be funny af to see you drive same setup na rotary
Love his car tho even tho v8

5:46 Was that Adam?
Dillon Gallentine ye
What is an acu sump? At 2:14
Kyrie Anzalone Its a dry sump oil system. Look it up for more information, because I can't explain it without demonstration.
Its not a dry sump system it's a reservoir that holds pressurized oil for pre-oiling and to discharge during low oil pressure surges.
Was that not a sump for fuel?
Adam sent me

@tjhunt should take lessons from this guy
LSs use cast steel manifolds, not cast iron
Iron is steel🤣
bob de befkabouter steel has iron in it if that’s what you mean. They aren’t the same thing though.
bob de befkabouter ah, no, steel is not iron, but it is a ferus metal. You can weld steel quite easily, but cast iron is another story. I wish cast iron was easily welded, I could save the block in my 77 K5 Blazer if it was.
Built For Boost 😉
Bro......don’t drive an AE86 if not having power stearin is a handicap or an issue. Power steering is the first mod we all do. But if you want to try than let me know
Jpfibgerglass really that bad?
Lavaughn Vanbrocklin goto any car forum and search jpfiberglass and see for yourself
Why a v8 power fc rotary better
I’m a lil disappointed in you Taylor that you don’t know about JP Fiberglass
Ls fc..... what’s new?
that LS sound very rough at idle to anyone else?
When driving is too easy so you chuck it on the hard difficulty
JPFiberglass... yeah about his stuff. On the website it looks like its super high quality, maybe some instructions.. it's not. Quality looks like home-brewed fiberglass and like fiberglass stuff it needs some massaging and cutting to work properly. I got a pair of jetstream knock off headlights from him a while back for one of my miatas. Originally it was for the drift miata, but knowing that car would be hit at some point in its life i opted for the 7" light bars on a sleepy-eye look. Definitely a lot cheaper and easy to replace than some one-off stuff. Either way the fiberglass stuff is still sitting in my room and I haven't gotten the courage to gut my pop ups out of my other miata to get everything to work. It just seems like a DIY nightmare lol.
Enter butthurt rotary comment here.
butthurt rotary comment
i wish i had a rotary...but sadly ive got a 2jzgte and a rx7 S4..so its happening...i could Ls1...and t56...but do i look gay?
Your a dumb ass fucktard your ls swaped your fc
I was trying to figure out if his car was running because I was like damn that LS sounds good at idle and it was Adams 240 hahahahaha
Save a rx7 today from LS swapping. Text “HELP” to 13b to donate now.
Cry about it
Hurt is that you? Oh wait he's got doritos now.
Hard to drift because the LS throws the weight balance off.
There's aaaaaalways a work around. Always.
And Taylor is the first to ever do a LS Miata, and it's not the horsepower nothing it's the driver to begin with!!!czcams.com/video/QCWi_mpCqU8/video.html
no power steering = a better driver
Fc chassis isn’t good when all that weight goes up front
Tbone Scriv there’s only like a 70-80 pound difference in the weights of the engines. I’m sure the cage balances it out pretty well
Rotary fanboys; If you have nothing nice to say, don’t say it 😎
Billy RS fuck u bitch
boost sideways good one
boost sideways geez your apex seals blow out???
We call that the money shot lol.
boost sideways lol your the guy with the thousand horsepower car that never runs. Nice to meet you man 😂
Why are you going to get a rx7 and put an ls into it 😪
Alex Harrison ha called it.
Alex Harrison you can like the car’s design and not the rotary engine?
Money and reliability
Honestly it’s mostly knowledge, it’s not like your classic piston engine where you can get in and go. You need some experience with these before they treat you right.
Because FC’s are all over craigslist for dirt cheap with blown rotary’s in them.
First!!!
V8s is the way to go
nawzy202 if you don’t have enough money to build a sick rotary 😄😂
Thatguy 1612 more like if want usable torque for ease of drifting alot of pros swap for v8s
nawzy202 If you got the money behind you to back it up, fuck a boring v8 or jz.. Mad mike is a legend for kickin ass with a rotary 🤷♂️
Thatguy 1612 drifters just prefer v8 low end torque Ls are cheap reliable easy to fix and easy to get more power out of them.
Dang right, rotary don't really sound that good tbh
rotary butthurts get it through your head anything is more reliable then an oil guzzling lawnmower
Pebsta if its build and maintained right, it will last. how come that mad mike is going full seasons without a rebuild on his N/A and turbo 4 rotors 🤦♂️
Handbrake in every corner, not cool...
Deivi Y Better safe than sorry when driving someone else’s car your not familiar with.
Seen he was using it ALOT
umm only people who follow him in tandem or the judges in formula drift.
We were not allowed to go off, and I was driving someone elses car. Wait for the s14 2jz review if you hate handbraking. I did this whole track without the handbrake. I don't understand this hatred for handbraking. My vette doesn't have a handbrake, and I linked road atlanta a ton of times with it. A handbrake is a tool, I use it when it's available. When it's not I don't.
Deivi Y ..... sorry but life is not a video game. Get off the couch.
“Nice and simple and reliable” rotaries are reliable too... just gotta make sure they have enough oil... and beat the piss out of them
Over capable car, under capable driver. Practice what you preach man.
John Velez he's a capable driver, just a whole set of different rules for drifting that thing
Under capable. No matter what way you put it. He’s an under capable driver.
He's a capable driver, but its not his car and didnt want to fuck it up.
You try to drive my car lol, it’s not a very good setup. I haven’t been able to really align it because I’m lacking adjustment. Taylor did great
Harrison Johnson lol that statement wasn’t made to down Taylor in anyway. I don’t feel like he’s driven long enough or stuck to one chassis long enough to be a formidable driver. He’s a good driver he just needs more seat time in a under capable car to really learn the ins and outs. Just like you did in the Volvo.
ls swap a rx7 is so stupid
erm where's the rotary? cant be called an rx7 without one, if you don't like the engine don't buy the car.
Johny Oxley or maybe he didnt wanna spend the money on a fun drift car.
Maybe he wanted something reliable
Shots fired
Reece if he wants reliability then get a jzx90 don't. You wouldn't take the engine out of a ferrari and put an LS in for reliability would you.
Lavaughn Vanbrocklin yeah but it's not fun because the weight distribution is fucked now.
dont buy an rx7 if youre gonna put a v8 in it
Why? It's just an engine. Looking at it with the bonnet closed you'd never know the difference. I'd engine swap any car just to piss off all the purists lol
