Going back and watching episodes like this and watching James slowly find his place and dip into what he found works for him is actually really dope.

Sadly, I totalled out my 1993 RX-7 R1 packaged Red Beauty on my 21st Birthday on a wet road. Today at 40 yrs old, it still haunts me and I occasionally shed a tear or two when reminded of it. If you've ever owned a Gen 3 RX-7, then you can relate. With a boost controller, Greddy intercooler, Greddy Exhaust, race clutch and a tune, I was beating or keeping up with most anything that got next to me. Thanks for this video...it was bitter sweet!

Just one of the many reasons I need to get an RX-7. I think I'll start with an FC, and eventually, a few years from now, I'll buy an FD. Tune the shit out of both, turn them into godly cars. I'll probably just keep the FC around for old time's sake, maybe give it to one of my future kids when they turn 18. Those things are fucking beasts, and we need to preserve every last one

Because car companies have gone to shit lately. It used to be, you had the Japanese companies competing for track supremacy, with the Silvia family, everything Toyota made with a 4A-GE, the GT-R, and the RX-7. Then you had the American companies competing for pure, raw power and straight line speed. All the while, the regular sedans, trucks, and SUVs were pretty much just left alone, being made reliably and practically because, frankly, the people who buy those really don't care about power, about flashiness, or about any of the other things you look for in a performance car. Now, companies have almost completely ditched performance cars in favor of bland, characterless SUVs and crossovers

RX7 - would be nice, but the rotary engine would need a complete redesign. MR2 - after what they did to the last literation I would be afraid. The SW20 was nice, but that cheap wannabe Boxter was crap.

My mom bought one brand new in 1981. We still have it, 90k original miles, an incredibly rare dealer option back seat, it has never broken down in almost 40 years. Hell it's still on its original apex seals. I'm inheriting it and that little car will never, ever leave my family. The one thing you forgot to mention is that a rotary engine literally cannot seize, no matter how hot they get, which makes them very safe for light aircraft use. And how could you not show clips of the posted off band saw engine note? Also, the top model of the first generation had four wheel discs. The others were front disc, rear drum.

Some more facts and misnomers. The First Gen RX7 introduced the first turbo model featuring a turbocharged rotary with a blowthru carb. That's why the Turbo FC is called the 'Turbo II'. The FD's twin turbo system was ANYTHING but a 'seamless' transition. Most owners opt for making the turbos non-sequential to ensure a smooth, predictable powerband. A common issue is taking a corner around 4000-4500 rpm would make the second turbo kick on and kick the car out due to the added power, so many just open up the second turbo full time, increasing spool time, but also raising predictability. This video was dope though.
@cib2413
@cib2413 6 жыл бұрын
Rotors Magazine True, but not my 99 Type RS with 99 spec turbos and the updated 16-bit ECU! Not a perfect transition but quite a lot smoother. Also, with a PowerFC you can smooth that transition to where you almost don't notice it. I would never recommend non-sequential if you have a working sequential system in place or one that can be easily repaired. Tune out the secondary spike! Sequential means full boost around 2000-2250 RPM. Non-sequential means full boost around 4000 with positive pressure around 3500. Not fun for a road car but okay for a track car as you will not dip below that.

I should add, and also dramatically simplifies the car. Yes you can tune out the spike, I'm speaking purely about stock cars.
@GlassTopRX7
@GlassTopRX7 6 жыл бұрын
The twins in non-sequential will certainly make full boost below 4000 closer to 3000rpm. Even in the sequential stock configuration once you transition the turbo stay in parallel mode unless you drop below 3500. That was done reduce the chances of what Rotor Mag was talking about. Personally I never found it that jarring but certainly a limitation in 1st or 2nd gear where the gears are fairly tall.

Hello Donut, I started watching your channel a few months ago. The video of yours I saw first was the 100th up to speed episode. I just loved it, for 2 things. The Godzilla and Pumphrey saying stuff like "MO POWA BABY" and "LIGHTNING". I simply love the way he narrates. I also love Nolan's videos sometimes and Jeremiah, he talks balls deep into the technical stuff which I love to learn very much. I like James's episodes the most, just because how he narrates stuff. ✌

I had an RX7 a few year's ago. Extremely smooth engine that never missed a beat. They get a bad reputation from owners that don't stay on top of the maintenance. Change the engine oil very often and run a little 2 stroke oil in the tank to keep the Apex seals well lubricated. Mine had around 140,000 when I sold it and ran perfect with tons of life left. There great car's that have a very unique sound.

I grew to love the RX-7 through watching Initial D, I just really got drawn to it and again i'm also a sucker for pop up headlights. Along with this, my favourite male character of Initial D (Ryosuke Takahashi) is the driver of an RX-7, although not my dream one, both him and Keisuke still drive RX-7's. My dream is to own an RX-7 of my own someday, specifically the yellow FD3S that Keisuke drives and considering I live in England this may be a little more complicated but it's still a big dream of mine that I really want to keep aiming for.

Used to work at a Mazda dealer. 2015-2018, people asked at least once a week when a rotary would be released again. I don't even think Mazda knows or wants to. It's sad, if they could work on it a little more it'd be a smash hit.

nah unless its cheap like the Veloster or the genesis coupe, there isnt a huge market for Japanese serious sports cars anymore, theslaes would end up like the 370z honestly. Sure you have fans out there, but you'd be hard pressed to convince a college student to buy a $30-40k Japanese sports car over $25-40k muscle car with more "street cred"

@@SicSemperBeats That's what's really changed about cars and car companies these days. Most performance car prices from back then, adjusted for inflation, come out to an average of about $10-15k, with some of the higher end ones coming out to closer to $20k. And it's not for lack of demand, either. Practically everyone is begging these companies to release affordable performance cars

HOWEVER, the GTUs had 100 of them that were not restamped with new vins, making them the rarest fc ever produced by the factory. Out of the 100 there was 83 red on black models made, 10 black on black and then 7 white on blue.

Hello. As I enjoy all of your videos, I would love to see a standalone video for the RX-8. Its quite an underated car and yes it has its share of flaws, like every car in the world has, but it is a gorgeous looking car and it is the definition of a pure sports car. Moreover it is a joy to drive and it is officially the last car in the world that uses a rotary engine, as we are heading full speed into the electric car era. I really hope that you will find the time someday to make a full video for the RX-8 also. Thank you.

Street Lethal Garage I'd beg to differ, the generations before and after the AE86 were great cars. The TE27 is still one of the most beautiful Corollas, and the still 4A-GE-powered, now FWD AE92 and AE111 Corolla Levins and Sprinter Truenos were still hot and fun cars. Definitely worth remembering. Maybe an "Everything You Need To Know About the Corolla Levin and Sprinter Trueno" video would be better

The Rx8 made more power than any other naturally aspirated 13b with 231hp. The engines greatest weakness however were the side exhaust ports. All the previous rotarys had their exhaust ports in the rotor housings alowing for better flow, lower engine temps, and more POWER if turbocharged.
