Hey kid, you want some TRIANGLES?

No AC and leather seats? I can feel my legs just adhering to the seat on a hot summer day.

Kudos to the owner of this RX 7, car looks clean for how old it is

That car is as old as I am. At least its squishy red interior has aged better than mine.

BRO FELIX WANKEL WAS A MISUNDERSTOOD GENIUS BRO BRUH DUDE DORITOS

1981 = 4 speed manual 1982 = 5 speed manual 2022 = 45 speed manual

God it's such a pretty car. My grandmother had a yellow one when I was growing up, forged my love of popup headlights when she used to blink them at me before leaving to head home :)

Old Skool RCR!! Please do more content like this Mr. Regular.

4:18 Miata passes by and said HEY DAAAD, WHEN'S THE TRACK DAY COMIN

Ah yes the return of the “IMMA TELL YA ANYWAYYYYYYY,” man.

The official car of “we’re going sideways, but on purpose.”

>"it sounds so meaty" >cuts to a shot of a rotary sounding like bees like they always do

3:57 is the most pointed pencil I have ever seen

Porsche 944 wants to know your location.

3:38 stop the presses. Is that a BMW actually using its turn signal?

Both 944's and FB RX-7's were great cars. It's too bad Mr. Regular doesn't seem to appreciate them as much as any enthusiast should.

HEADLIGHTS GO UP, HEADLIGHTS GO DOWN UP DOWN UP DOWN UP DOWN UPPPPPP

My FB’s were the most fun I’ve ever had in a car. Underpowered, but they always managed to convince me otherwise. Their ability to oversteer when in power, or in neutral added to the fun. Just non stop smiles.

1:26 screwed that guy in the white hyundai over lmfao

21/30 mpg ..wtf, that's not bad . It may be small but if you want speed you have to sacrifice something

My old CAR!!! Thanks for the walk down memory lane. I miss that car. I can't articulate why, but I do miss it.

Wish he woulda gone into more detail about the car's handling, or this car's place as a solid sports car platform that's still used in club racing

A friend had a rx3 wagon. Idle to 10,000 rpm no vibration what so ever from the rotary engine.

Love my 84 RX7. Wish you had talked more about how fun it is to ring its neck. Floor it eveywhere, without actually going to jail. At 160kmh the wing mirrors practically want to jump off of the doors.

Whoever had that car took great care of it. So classic

"Huh, one's still functioning" I have that exact same reaction every time I see an Alfa Romeo on the road.

I always laugh at RCR, but I laugh hysterically when I watch these videos after a night shift and am slightly sleep deprived.

Great video Mr. Regular! I own an 83 rx7 myself and love it to death, just got back from driving her. It was my only car for awhile and it has taken me camping, mountain biking and skiing without much trouble. Here’s the kicker- the engine has 197k miles and is running great.

I always get a good laugh and smile when Mr. Regular quotes the Rules of Acquisition. 😄

Somebody has to love these little rough diamonds. Count me in.

Had one of these for a year in like 2014ish - cloth seats, blue, 5 speed. Absolutely loved it and used it as my only car - including daily commuting. Great car, reliable and cheap to run in my experience - other than all the oil! Looked a bit beat up on the outside, but everything worked. Just treated it like a two stroke, and it was like a buzzier, dancing-on-its-toes Porsche 924 (I've had a bunch of Porsche watercoolers, and the FB was way closer to a 924 than 944).

This was filmed in Toronto I didn’t even realize that! At 5:40 he’s on seventh street new Toronto by the lake. Love seeing the channel in my community. It’s so cool being able to recognize all these places he drives by

I screamed like a teenager on a live concert of a kpop boyband when I heard the voice of Fredrick in the intro.

Been waiting for one of these for awhile, the only RX7 I’ve actually worked on!

My brother bought a new 1979 RX-7 with a manual and as a new car is was incredibly smooth and quiet and with its balance and light weight it was a blast to drive on curvy roads. I drove it quite a bit and it never stalled in town. It was a very easy car to drive. My 50+ year old mother had no issue with it. She loved it.

This is easily one of y'all's best videos in recent memory. Keep up the good work!

The best bullet wedge ever made ❤️

The first and third generation RX7 were absolutely beautiful. Add to that the 240 and 260 z as well as the Toyota 2000 GT and Original NXS. And you have in my view the most attractive Japanese cars of all time .

U surprisingly see a load of FBs around the greater toronto area, i live close to 2 different FBs and they are still one of the coolest sounding engines ive ever heard.

You are for real, special, I love your fun spin on reviews!

A yacht named...."The Pull Out Method"....🤣🤣

The intro is so fucking spot on I love it.

In high school one friend had one of these. Another had an MR2. They were both so fun and "fast" for their time. When they'd race they were always neck and neck. But in the long run, I preferred the MR2.

The fb has always been my favorite, thanks for the great review :)

Cleanest styled car of the early '80s (or any time, really...)

Okay here is a true story; I learned manual transmission on my mom's 1981 RX7 and everything you said was of course quite correct. However since this was my very first time driving a clutch I had no other reference point so when my mother said "you have to be up above 1500 RPMs to start off" I just figured this was normal. So yeah I got used to very quickly driving one of the harder to drive sports cars of the time however she was just so fun. Espically when I figured out this engine wants to rev high to do anything. Yup, 5000 RPMs is where the fun begins and BTW that is also right about when the secondaries open up fully on the four barrel carb. In fact they had a split size setup, small primaries and much larger secondaries that some of the American 60s and 70s V8's had to promote better fuel economy when not hard on the gas. Really wish we still had that one in the family as they are such great track day and weekend fun cars. Oh yeah, I am old AF this was back in 1983 when the car was kinda new still. But those darn apex seals...

I'm a senior in high school and this is my first car. It sounds like a bad idea, but since this was the first manual I ever drove, it was pretty easy to pick up.

Great review as always, love to see these classic cars in my hometown Toronto!

These are the type of videos I originally subed for

The shifting mirror bit is too true. I have an ‘87 Olds 442 and it does *the same thing.* Ohhh it’s frustrating.

I drove a 1984 RX-7 for about 5 years and then gave it to my dad. This was probably my favorite car I've owned, its also my favorite sounding engine I've heard. Sounds like a panther.

My father in law(RIP) had a 1984 RX that was almost identical to this but was in pristine, never saw snow or salt, low mile shape. One of his sons has it now and I still get a smile when I see it. I got to drive it once on a hundred mile road trip... fun times.

Did Mr. Regular just quote Ferengi trade philosophy/religion?

ITS FINALLY HERE IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS THANK YOU

I miss my 81 Rx-7 I loved that car and bought another one for parts. I eventually had to give up on it though as I was 19 and couldn't keep sinking money into it and there was so much rust. It was so much fun to drive and so satisfying to rev the engine. The worst part though was when someone would move it a short distance in the winter to make room for parking w/o letting it warm up. The engine would flood then you would have to put a little AT Fluid in the oil pull the choke let it warm up and watch the clouds of smoke. Nice video as always and I always get excited when i see one of these 1st gen Rx-7s has survived

'79 Rx-7 was my first car. That 12A wouldn't die. Also had an' 84 GSL-SE, and a '74 Rx-4. All fun cars, all increasingly difficult to find in useable condition or get parts for.

The 153rd Rule of Acquisition: Sell the sizzle, not the steak. This is Star Trek canon now

Absolutely beautiful car

Really hurt my feelings with this video because my dad’s Rx-7 was my childhood best friend. All the images are powerful in that way that young abstract memories do. AND YET, spot on as always. Bravo. Childhood me is crying. Reasonable me is laughing and clapping. I don’t know any better compliment. You’re good at this.

My dad had one of these when I got my drivers license. So much fun to drive! It almost hit 300,000 miles before it gave up. Awesome car

2:45 this guy really has a Domo in the trunk. Oh to be a highschool JDM fanboy circa 2009 again.

Sadly my fb was a hidden rust bucket so I sold it and now have a Volvo 242;)

I had that exact car with gold paint. It helped me reel in the big change 80's.

Always wanted one of these, so glad RCR did a review

my neighbor owns one of these, and is currently restoring the body panels thank god they're not one of those "hey did you know this has no pistons" guys

I've wanted this video for so long. Aaaaa thank you.

These were very fun to drive I had 2 of them back in the early 90’s. 1980 an 82. One of the main difference I remember was the 82 had the shorty shifter. And they were both this same color to. My buddy had the gold one.

Hey! Finally a guy that does a good car review. I usually look around until I find reviews that don’t say the exact same words and try to react like someone else because they reacted that way. I actually purchased a crappy festiva, used it in a gambler 500, and took it on a road trip because of you. I also love that disgusting thing. It was clapped out and took $260 to go through everything. I’ve never seen a car cheeper to fix. Keep it up.

How do you know about the Panda? Do I hear a potential review of Italy's greatest shitbox?

Is severe tailgating a Canadian past time? The Mazda looks like it's going to be rear ended in almost every on-road scene.

Great review of this JDM car. Having ridden in a later model RX-7 I can confirm that the acceleration will knock your socks off!

This summer, I saw a 1979 SA22C at my local track. That thing was holding it's own quite well.

RCR and Freddie K? What an unlikely crossover.

1 revolution of the engine is 3 combustion cycles. So multiply the engine size by 3 and the mpg makes slightly more sense, and the tq figure make less sense

I remember when this car first came out. I fell in love with it. The styling was/is amazing for the time. A lot of the affordable sports cars of the 80's were of the 2 door hatch variety. This one hit the sweet spot.

I just recently got my '83 FB, and I think it's the best car I've ever driven; I absolutely love it. It'll be expensive, eventually, but I'm willing to keep it on the road. The fact that these are lesser known keeps the price down, so if you need parts cars or just want to join the rotary club, the SA/FB is a great starting point.

Last time I was this early,no one had made these jokes yet.

At 6:18 hes at Kipling and Evans. When the heck did he get to Etobicoke? Did I miss something big???

Lol, your explanation of the 4 cylinder with a lighten flywheel was perfect. Drives like my O3 Subaru Outback with my ACT clutch and lightened flywheel. Got it.

This was my first car, I learned to drive stick on it and it had 255,000 miles give or take a few and it was amazing. Engine blew at 260,000 because I was an idiot and ignored signs it was getting bad BUT I'm rebuilding it. I miss my little ol car :) I've been wanting this forever, thanks Mr Regular

MEEEEEAAAAAAATTTTTTTTYYYYYYY *(SIDE NOTE) foreskin cleaner is the beginning and the end, also the unsung MVP of the " Pull Out Method."

The FC will stay around due to Initial D

1983 rx7, my first car. Loved it. Swap in the stock FC N/A motor and you have 160hp, 60% increase. Bridgeport and intake/exhaust and make 220-230. Stock 6.5" wide tires? Initial D all day

Ayyyy, I just got a Canadian 1980 Rx7 and couldn't find any info on it at all, so nice to see this exists haha Altho mine has the 85mph speedo, pretty much no power anything, and a 5spd manual.

IMMA TELL YOU ANYWAAAAAAAAAAAAY

I squealed when I saw this! REVIEW MY 1980 MAZDA 626!!!!! I mean, uh, I have an exceedingly similar vehicle in my possession...

Loved that filming in my home city of Toronto! Thanks!

I see one of these at uni and it looks exactly like this. I can’t help but stop and admire every time I see it

Back in the 80s, there was a hot chick at my high school that had one of these. I really wanted to drive her car.

I literally had a dream last night that you were sitting next to me driving an fc rx7 and you were cussing out God so I guess in retrospect the only part that I got right was the rx7

I too own an FB. And, damn! You guys drove right through my hood.

I fell in love with this car since I was a little boy, a neighbor had one in white exterior and the red-esh interior and it was just beautiful.

Mmmm yes fill me up with your content mr regular aaaaahn~

You can still find em for cheap

I always see these on craigslist in upstate NY in this same condition (really clean) and they're always selling for an affordable price around $5,000 with low miles. NOW I know why.

My dad worked at the local Lincoln, Mercury, Mazda dealership. He had an 1983 RX-7. Dark brown on dark brown.

This car is literally the same model as mine

Sweet sweet southern ontario b roll

A lot of the things he talks about rotary wise is just exactly why I love rotary

I love the way the fb looks, it's like a combination of adorable and cool.
