  • We all like getting a bargain, but sometimes those cheap cars can be a mistake. Josh decided to buy a cheap RX7 Mazda as a project and try repair it himself. What could go wrong? Rotary RX7 FC are very reliable right? Why not test it out with an 8 hour round-trip home? Should be fine... lol
    Who thinks Josh can resurrect this Mazda RX7 FC and make it look great?

    Well guys, is it a lemon of an RX7 or can Josh save this Mazda?

      Anything can be saved with enough time and money. It seems to run well with no problems on that long journey so it's mostly cosmetic work 👍🏻

    Yes! You guys got an FC! My first car was an FC and it's my favorite generation RX7 that doesn't get nearly enough love on CZcams. I don't like that it's a convertible but it's so hard to find a hard top so I get it. I can't wait to see what you guys do with it!

    Fair play to him for being honest hate when you go to look at a car that the owner says is mint and turns out to be a ball of sh*t

    Rotary rules:
    1: never rave above 3krpm when cold
    2: always premix

    @Myselfandaye2930 Před 2 lety +2

    I would absolutely love an rx7, preferably an fd but hey, boosted rotary sounds for circa £5k is a bargain in my eyes, can't wait to see the build and the finished article too 👌

    RX7s are sexy as fuck. The FDs have a timeless design and are one off the best handling RWDs to ever come outa Japan. The Rotarys get a bad reputation, but apparently run well when looked after properly.
