You have to be to drive an RX. The car demands a higher level of attention than any traditional motor.

He really knew His car.

@@pedrorodrigueziii4859 thats rite and you find all the people who know nothing but a LS in it.

yeah, what happened Toyota, you used to be cool

now they collaborate with subaru

Toyota makes the FRS, is making a new supra, and is going to make a hot hatch yaris to take on Ford. I think they realized their mistakes. NISSAN on the other hand.....

Kanaric nissan is still making the gtr on the other hand mitsubushi lol

The new gtr looks kinda boring compared to the old ones.

It's a timeless design for sure, even the second gen rx7 has aged quite well

not for me, 22b beats them all for me

rx7 is one of the few cars id call beautiful, the flowing curves are just sexy.

Please there rubbish ,rotary engines have three moving parts and they still suck and costs too much for what it's worth Pistons engine all day everyday also I know what I'm talking about I've had mate here in oz that owned rx. -3 , r -100 and other 80's even and Cosmo 20b or whatever it's called it looks ugly as shit ,good luck with those apex seal and rotor housing

Beautiful car but I'd definitely be converting it to rb or 2j

Watch colts ls1 rx7 swap

Divine MT 🤢 🤮

I'd say the supras and the R-32-34 is about just as good looking.

I'd have to disagree with you on that one. They're all good looking cars, but the FD just has a beautiful, curvy shape like none of the others. Almost like some of the classics from the 60's.

i love my 300zx's tho

Prefer the s2000 looks both exteriour and interiour, but each to their own

+Phillip Gagliardi Nissan Skyline

FD RX7, R34 Skyline, MK IV Supra, NSX, Z32 300ZX. 90's JDM cars are timeless as can be. Gotta appreciate that point in time.

Don't even mention the 3000GT? That's sacrilege...

Nah sorry. I own a 350z and I dont even think it has a timeless look.

Wu Watt The Vr4 3000gt is better than the supra in almost everyway though, 350z is way too new...

TJ Smijons No it isn't... If it was, we sure as hell would be seeing them a lot more than Supra's. Not to mention the fucking bullet proof 2JZ GTE. 3000GT is aight. They look a little dated interior wise and somewhat exterior, but I wouldn't consider it timeless.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Let's all send prayers to the powers that be for Matt not to get any tickets while driving in the canyons. As far as I'm concerned it's the most effective and acceptable form of prayer. Cheers!

that's because he's smart. rx7's are rare and he only has a limited amount of time.

+samsonian If this show took place here in Finland he would have lost his license long ago. Police would use these videos as an evidence against him in court.

No way, the SC huracan video with the infamous log drag was pretty quick.

What about the 675LT? that was just rediculous!

this. please . please matt please

If Mazda were to reissue this car with zero changes to the body and a turbo i4 around 300hp they would sell tons.

2024, still holds.

Ricer

So slow you even post comments after me! :D

Rotors sound great.

I’m coming 💦

Yes! 😍❤️

I'll give you a picture of someone and address 🤔

@@spankthemonkey3437 lmao

It's just idiots that make these engines less reliable, just maintain it properly and replace seals before they blow and it will run just fine.

+CrAzYNooBB55 i don't think anyone buys this car for gas mileage lmao.

@voice of reason completely agree. Was thinking the same

But that is the problem I don't want to do a rebuild every 30,000 miles I shouldn't have to to achieve 400 horsepower

Oil Metering Pump I know how to turn a wrench lmao thats funny. I'm building my own car currently a 1972 Dart swinger for a pro touring vibe that will look near stock the engine is going to be a built 360 smallblock with a 4 speed manual transmission an 8 3/4 inch rear end with 3.55 rear gears and all new suspension from Firm Feel. I will make well over 400 horsepower turn 6700 RPM in a 3000 pound car and not have to rebuild the engine every 30-50 thousand miles. (Don't even get me started on the torque figure ill make well over 300 pound feet more)

Then you should see my black 94 FD, way better than this one but this one is clean because he kept it mostly like a stock 99 body wise which are clean. A well kept RX 7 is always a pretty sight.

The u turn in front of that car that came up on them quickly? Yeah. All his 3 point turns and u turns are going to catch up with him one day when someone else is hustling through the canyons like he is.

Indeed. He also better be careful that he doesn't pick off one of those bicyclists. They annoy the shit out of me, especially on fast twisties like we see here, but still, they have the right to be there. Personally, I think those cyclists are crazy to drive on narrow fast roads with blind spots galore. They must have a death wish. All of that said, this was a great video! That FD is absolutely beautiful!

Saw that too...he knew he fucked up, kept looking back in his side mirror. Kept thinking, "that could have gone really bad, really quick".

#cotd

hahhaha

watch the other reviews , you will grow more than 4 inches in no time

Well said statement, the 90s had the best Japanese cars in my opinion.

Cars of the future will run on e-juice!!!

+Z Vaper They sure dont make them like they used to! Nowadays car manufacturers are all about silly things like making engines smaller and more powerful, and using all these fancy smancy cutting edge technologies like variable valve timing and those ridiculous direct injection engines and CVT transmissions, or god forbid the abhorrent hybrid technologies being developed by losers like tesla, I mean who needs electronic awd or over 700 lb-ft of torque when you got the simple joys of having a 1.3l engine that drinks more gas than you're grandpa's big block and dont forget the wonders of pop up headlights! If you're lucky you may even get one with a cassette player! just make sure its not one of those new self-rewinding ones (real men rewind their cassettes manually.) Your FD may even start up some of the time! (as long as you didnt turn it off too quickly the last time you drove it last) ahhh the glory days.....

@@wyattllc the sarcasm is real bitch! Fuck a hybrid lol

those are the na's, all turbo 13b's sound pretty much the same

Yeah, my rx8 sounds like angry bees :/ but I love the sound

The 4 rotors are the best sounding imo.

My rx8 sounds like Angry bees while on the throttle. Sounds like a plane coming in for a landing when you let off the throttle.

Much rather have a 93 Trans Am with an LT-1 V8 with nearly similar hp stock and room to go well over 1000hp if desired. Now that's a timeless car, not a friggin Mazda

Steve Anthony Mazda can make 1000 hp too

Trans Am? Timeless? 😂 Wot?

Pontiacs, timeless? Lol more like time-lost becuase they're lost in time

@@blackisback74 top tier boomer comment

Haha I'm actually a subscriber of your channel

JDMxlove I recognize the name! Thanks for the sub

I *LOVE* the NSX. But my '97 WS6 is what I could afford, and I love it too!

Bucket list, removal of all LS ‘s!

....I thought the same thing! "You can take it to 8K".....but not 100 rpm over that!!

He kept looking over to check what rpm matt was shifting at

It's tough to let someone drive a car that you put so much time and money into. Matt doesn't baby it at all and the sensation from the passenger seat is just...foreign.

Not true. They like high RPMS, like really. You need to redline it at least once per month in order to get all the dirt out of the system.

Mr. K, wasn't that even recommended by Mazda back in the day - like at least once a week?

I'm one.

I'm here.

yup!

I'm an original owner of the FD in my avatar. Does that count? heh

Hello

Rotarys are meant to rev high. They run worse if you shift low.

GSP is not impressed.

They share the same Adams Apple Seeds.

Who is GSP, what does GSP stand for ?

GSP= George St Pierre. Former UFC welterweight champ. Firas Zahabi is his coach.

"hey guys its joe, here to bring you my pre race analysis"

correct.

Mid engined too, since the engine is small and behind the front subframe :)

So it's basically a Ferrari F12/Honda S2000. LOL

+Dan Bonnett I'd much rather take your 335 anyday...my realistic dream car right there :)
