Man, the owner of that fc is so down to earth. Exactly the type of person that the car community needs more of.

This car is so easy.... Stall Damn I love this car.. stall Race car is life... Stall I'm just giving ya a hard time. You should know by now how much I love your content. Keep up the greatness

6:03 "This thing feels soooo good" Proceeds to stall it LOL don't we all know the feeling. Love the channel mate

6:40 that crying rotary gave me GOOSEBUMPS holy shit. awesome machine

I cried when I see how you use a manual gearbox ...

Great review Sam! I'm patiently waiting for your FC build 😉

Very nice example of an FC I love it!! Tastefully modded and it looks sooo good on those wheels!

That's cool, I have a 90' FC in Harbor Blue with the Mazdaspeed MS01 LMs. So far haven't seen anyone else in the Dallas, Texas area with the same wheels. Keep up the good work and great find my friend

The direct clutch services Mazda RX7 FD race car is an awesome bit of kit and this Mazda RX7 FC is an awesome looking car and so original as well

Absolute car goals. That FC was clean, well maintained, and the aesthetics were gorgeous. I backed out on an '88 convertible FC recently, but will keep my eyes open for a diamond like this one (or even diamond in the rough). 😍

A stock body FC looks good af Love the new outro as well

My 36 year old grey market RX7 GXL 2+2 FC is still as fast as the day I bought it…it’s Mazda red, gray interior…love it!

Can't get over how clean that is inside and out!!!! So hard to find one like that these days owner has done a great job

nice one Sam............loved the punt.... i couldnt get my eyes of the S15 in the background so much awaiting mine....

FC love. Such a rotary fan, need them all in my life. Rx3, fc, fd, rx8, repu, all the magic triangles.

I owned a 79 FB in yellow about 6 years ago but got rid of it because I felt I couldn't care for it properly. 2 years ago I picked up a white S5 FC vert with black interior 5-speed that was in questionable condition and have spent what little money I have here and there to try and restore it back to factory original. Leaks, electrical issues, runs rough and more. Just had the trans rebuilt and some engine work done as step one and I have faith that I can restore this car to its former glory. I picked up a second red vert that had been sitting for $250 with a still running engine and plan to restore that one as well. I love and respect these cars. So much so that one day I got fed up and tried to sell them only to find myself beginning to cry when I got an offer and promptly took the listing down. Wonderful machines that deserve mad amounts of respect.

I was 21 in 1991, and bought a gold turbo 2 w/ 20k miles. Put every paycheck into it for 3yrs straight. Intercooler. Exhaust. Chip. Turbo. Bigger Fuel Injectors....suspension...etc etc. Best car I ever owned - wish I had saved it these past 30 yrs. Thanks for taking me back!!! This car was waaaay ahead of its time back then. It has aluminum susp arms, aluminum spare tire, and aluminum JACK from the factory. Throw in the all mighty rotary and its a wrap. I devoured MANY cars back then. The best was a hopped up GN built for dragging. And the RX7 can corner too. As for rotary reliability goes, I sold mine with 170k and she ran factory that day. xoxox PS Beastie Boys was usually in the deck - CD's were new at this time but waaaay to expensive. hahahaha (sidenote > pay attention to fuel injectors in these, dont wanna run lean in a rotary.)

Great vid as always

Just needs the factory rev buzzer screaming at you lol

That is a very nice FC.

awesome!! this is great content Sammit! I can't wait to see what you have in store for us back in Japan. I love RX7's and rotary. I cant wait to see you drive a Supra.

Nice FC! Best part about the series 4 are the tail lights. Straight from a Porsche 944!

Thats awesome! Rx7 fc my all time fav car

Mint fc! Dig the new outro!

I just bought a rare 10 anniversary 1988 turbo rx7 for 3k.

Dude the engine is cold af and you do pulls in it like hell

my dream car... you should get one dude, i ended up buying 3 :/ still love them after 3 years now

The fcs are my favorite chassis

I got a S5 turbo II myself that I've dailied for 2 years since I got it. Rotaries are forgiving with stalling. I've stalled and only put the clutch all the way down quickly to have the engine restart itself.

Had lots of rotary's in my life, have a 92 si civic hatch but want another Rx7 in the future

Good to see them in most original condition, have one that is supposed to be sapphire blue but it is red

Two years later this popped up to the top of my feed just after watching you drift that green and orange FC. Was wondering if you would end the video with jaa mata back in those days and so glad when it came.

This was pretty cool I liked this video/car

Yep clutch acts very much like my FC, I have a series iv built August 1985 but have installed series 6 extended port engine instead, koyo rad with custom shroud mated with Spal 3000cfm fan ( Australian heat) pwr monster oil cooler, pwr inter oiler, Been driving it daily for 4 months and I'm still afraid of hill starts with the clutch. Rotaries in Queensland!

i had the 86 rx7 turbo..most insane car i ever had....added variable boost, better clutch hks exhausts no cats... it was a beast! best interior Ever with most comfortable seats ive ever had... the throttle stuck full open on me and it rolled 3 times after fishtailing into a curb... that was the end of it..roof crushed..sold on ebay for cheap... had a new factory block after the original engine blew the apex seals from running too much boost... im sure someone loved it

I just got an aus spec S5 to add to the collection 😎 they are an awesome bit of kit

Just bought my first rwd car and it happened to be a 1988 rx7 and im so in love

watchin this again just to keep reminding myself that someday I'll get to drive/own a rotary thats externally wastegated 😩so fkn good!

I bought one of these long ago with 5000klms on it from Newcastle Mazda. Brakes failed on it one time, a few months later it caught on fire, had to put it out with a fire extinguisher at a fuel station. When it ran it was good......

Damn! This thing has all four mudflaps and digital climate control. Super clean

That's it, I thought I was done with rota' sand now you have me wanting another one....😫

Those mazdaspeed ms01 are lovely

Should I get a turbo 2 by trading my 350z it has 300hp but it’s fully stock that’s no problem for me tho

Great video

I loved my rx8.. May be time for a rx7

I hope we get some daily S15 driving in Japan? To get friendly with it before you destroy it in drifting. Or are you going to get a project / track only / already drifted / not road legal car?

Id love to get my hands on an rx7. Whether its fb, fc, or fd. Id probably prefer fd because of those body lines but its tied with fc

You are a lucky man! Some of us won’t ever get to drive any rx7 😒 my dream car too lol

6:40 This is why "God so loved the world He made the rotary exist"

Might be something with the brake booster check valve causing spongy brakes. I know when I built mine I did not have a check valve in and the brakes would not kick until boost was drained, which was hella sketchy.

Lovely car.I had both the 1gen rx7 and the FC.Here in Greece is getting rare to see any........

Welcome to twin plate life haha i rarely stall mine now but at first you will stall mine 2 or 3 times. Thats the trade off for holding good power and knowing you can drop it at 5k rpm all day errrry day.

nice man I always wanted to own a series 4 reminds me of t he porsche 944 shape, I only ever had the series 1 Savanna

Respect to that guy for letting you drive that monster my cousin has the same car and never lets me drive it😤 lol

Rx7 fd or fc are just insane there beautiful

Twin plate clutches need more revs when taking off. My 180sx used to have one, not amazingly street friendly.

YESSSS love the rotarys 👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Man all I wanted to hear was a solid 2-3 pull

Had 2 of these but regret selling one of them still have one.

today's word of the day is ドリトス Doritos

This thing is full Mint Berry Crunch

hard to beat the sound of a turbo rotary

what a machine 😍

Great car, great owner

How come there are so many car dealerships/workshops in the area that you’re in? It seems like you’d be right on top of each other hahaha

were you in uk in that video because of the number plates lol

"Just the standard.." "YUHH COOL COOL YUHHH" "...FC gearbox"

Bee當初保護的大喬吧！

Sam ask a question and in mid conversation yup yup yup

I've always thought that a Miata Rotary would be amazing... some day

Does it have any port at all?

There’s an fc that’s in an overgrown driveway just sitting and I want it soo bad but I’m 14 and my parents probably won’t let me buy it until i get my licencse in about 1.5 years 🥲

4:00 whats the car in the background?

“Kinda reminds me of a car with no compression with the spark plugs out” unfortunately reality for many rotors 😂😂😂

Go Re-Amemiya..GT rear like the FD and open headlight like the FD too.

Haha did your mom teach you how to drive lol nah good video mate

My dream car is also FC i have one abandoned near my house

haruhi in the background owo

Matt kinda looks like Miles Teller.

its small ya gonna have trouble FITTING LMFAOO

I think your wife needs to get one of these, while you have the s15. You two can swap couple days out of the week. Plus she's a small lady it'll suit her well. . Win win situation

Cabo! :)

You have my dream car the s15 I have yours a 10th anniversary FC and your wife's an RX8 LOL want to trade LOL

also my dream car

THIS CAR IS A GUN !!! 💪🏾💪🏾🔫🔫

These are nice cars if you can find a good one. I had one for years (1987 Turbo II) but I never really got to enjoy mine because it was incessantly stolen and vandalized ALL the time during the years that I owned it. Too many stupid losers in Canada to enjoy a great little sports car. Everyone has to destroy everything. Enjoy your ride man!

Brake system might need high pressure lines and maybe different brake fluid

yeah but in a rotary you start the pull at like 6 lol

so jealous, gone are the days where you could buy a s5 rx7 for 6k... or less

最重要的是什麼，二軍。

Can’t wait for more japan content. Personally a bit tired of car reviews

#rotaryareawesome

Um wow rx8 coil pack... Probably the worst one too use lol use bosh coils or ls excuse me Holden coils. The rx8 coils our notorious for failing early!

not a fan of that exhaust note ... it can sound a hell of alot better than that but to each his own...

yeah man and stalling is not a big deal. even keiichi tsuchiya stalls engines so its fine :D

U dont even pop the light up? Really

rx8 coil pack? are tou kidding me? thats crap, rx8 owners are trying to get rid of them, and d585 coils are the most used as replacement for the stock on rx8, me included

Homeboy looks like Marc zuckerburg

I wish you would chill out a little and be patient with the clutch. Drive slow and easy in order to learn the car before acting as if it's your own. I would be upset if was the owner and saw this video.

You don't need a clutch like that in a Rotary.. Mine makes more power with just a heavy duty single that has stock feel, holds the power and takes the abuse.
