Abandoned FC RX7 Get's Coilovers and New Wheels! *Making The FC Look Good Again!*

[@justinclayborn7120]

I sent the pole jack, glad you like it. I remember you saying you needed one when you where doing the rx7 suspension stuff. Hope it helps!! Keep up the awesome content!

[@bigtperk]

You are a G!

[@jose-angel4978]

Justin Clayborn YOU ARE A REAL G. THANKS FOR GIVIN OUR BOY SOME THAT HE NEEDS 👏🏼

[@kenlarge5154]

well played Sir^^

[@kenlarge5154]

i love how happy he gets

[@SirVic42]

Thanks for keeping our boy safe & even more productive!

[@super_badass]

Those wheels are reverse mount. That's why the tires were so hard to remove and replace. The face goes down on the tire machine. If in fact you had them that way then my apologies

[@joshua_lee732]

This Taylor needs to see.

[@BradLouver]

If you look at 18:13 you can see the drop center is at the top. Having changed a set like that before. It just is a crappy design to change.

[@das2419]

I did not even see your comment I just seen the wheel on the machine and new it was upside down X tyre fitter

[@LS__812]

@@BradLouver yeah he did them the correct way

[@dark_one1337]

nope it's becaues the old tire is streched on the rim (tire to narrow to fill in the hump ,that eliminates the strecht you need to mount/unmount the tire, also happens when the rubber is old and hard to strech or form)

[@blulian]

Take that other dudes instagram handle off the door already it looks so tacky 😂

[@willd4082]

I strongly agree pls take it off lol

[@TerraFilmTV]

Ian Grimard as well as the corny stickers on the back

[@kyushahero9056]

the “fuck it” sticker is so much worse it kills me every time. looks way better with coils and wheels though

[@xjchase]

Dude doesn't even need recognized for the car anyways he doesn't post anything about the 350

[@kenlarge5154]

second this ^^

[@Mattlt1]

I get chills every time you start the Miata. It sounds so good!

[@Inman910]

The white wheels was so much better on there bud but still love it

[@BOOT]

Multi pattern, prob keeping. The grey set he put on has a big lip bend at one of the star points drivers front, think he plans to flip it.

[@Elijah.Vallotton]

This is the one channel I watch from beginning to stop! Love the vids

[@Sauerbrew777]

Please tell me you're going to Cleetus and Cars! I'm finally able to make it to one and it would be awesome to meet you!

[@ImMack]

When you lower fc's in the rear, the rear camber arm in the middle is offset so you will get different camber on each side.

[@moralev]

Right side could have bowed over fender because of the fuel cap kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqGUpaWpgauio80

[@grono2222]

Milwaukee should sponsor You for such a great advertisement :p

[@Adriansitos623]

They do

[@kenlarge5154]

im sure if he doesnt get it for free, its greatly reduced

[@JSXECO]

5:20 💯 about BC. Every company should do this.

[@Craxler]

Get some magnetic bowls instead of just putting em on the car, or even have them on the lift. Totally worth it! Havent lost a nut/bolt since i got mine

[@TheDorkfish12]

It’s so crazy to find a KZbinr that is so close to me in Florida, I love watching your videos and seeing stuff from around my town

[@crazymike401]

the only reason i started watching him was because im in orlando and he was too. just something about watching a "home town" guy that makes the videos more fun

[@draggonhedd]

Aw i really liked the white wheels that were on the FC. They also don't look like they're bent like those cosmis are. Run the white handbrake handle in the FC, the aluminum lathed one in the miata, and keep the honeycomb one around for something else.

[@MrQuandogg]

Best mail time ever!!!

[@Zinxed]

When is the truck content coming, that's what I'm excited for!

[@thedestroyer3262]

I think he's buying either a parts truck or engine this week or next week or at least that's what he said a few videos ago.

[@justinpowers8714]

He posted on ig that he bought a parts truck pretty recently from auction, so maybe in the next couple of videos we’ll get something on it

[@risingsunperformancemobile8793]

lol, when he took off the 1st strut, the tie rod end just plopped down. Dont forget to tighten it up! :D

[@Alex-qs2hm]

new drinking game : take shot every time taylor says easy

[@rythascorpadorp2802]

Always love the sound of that Miata man, bloody love a good sounding V8 purr

[@rdnckjr1234]

It looks like it has 2 different over fenders .

[@Sagekable]

agreed lol

[@ryanolson6794]

Facts

[@eddiereichel9354]

26:53 You need to be using that jack every time you do suspension work not just for exhaust work. Bushings and bolts that are horizontal or any angle for that matter need to be tightened at ride height and not full droop.

[@Xyneks]

24:36 I bet those wipers are for the 350z, from when you asked us to remind you to get wipers.

[@addisonwasiuta6109]

Seriously one of my favorite channels

[@tun1034]

YOU BETTER GIVE BEN ONE OF THOSE COVERS SIRR!!😤 TAYRAY DOES IT AGAIN GUYS!!!! ALWAYS GOT THAT METH UPLOADS MANN I'M ADDICTED TO THIS CHANNEL😥

[@JeffSlover]

It's pretty epic that someone sent you a transmission/exhaust jack. On that thing, lift the top part up before you spin the level, so that you get more out of each spin. Just make sure you keep your arms out of the way, those are good for putting the hurt on when they get spinning.

[@knexfreak32]

If you use the flat end of a tire iron on the opposite side of the knuckle in the drop bead it makes it a lot easier to dismount a low profile tire like the one you were doing. It helps the tire slip down into the dropped part of the wheel and makes life a little easier. You also want to set the stop on the knuckle arm so it 's about 1/8th from the rim otherwise it will hit the wheel and bind up.

[@Supradrew]

What a great mail time. The FC is coming along nicely Taylor. Cheers brother

[@rickyekenlow]

pro tip for the rear tyre, flip the wheel downside up and dismount hte tyre with the innerlip facing the head of the machine :) :)

[@IDlikeanEvo]

Love the video on the Fc ! Can't wait to see you drift it

[@devinbuchhorn]

Loving these genuine reactions to sub mail. Taylor, you're a super nice guy.

[@Pochodrifter]

I have the same exact coil overs on my fc and they’re great I love them. I kept them at the preset height that they sent and it looks great. Another thing I’d add to the fc is a front strut bar. It’s not like a drastic difference but it’ll help stiffin up the chassis.

[@clnfreakone8486]

14:28that tire is a little worn 😳 😂😂... car looks sick great choice and great body style

[@NismospoolinOfficial]

Why does watching you open sub mail put a massive smile on my face like im watching a little thankful kid on christmas? xD Best youtuber to watch do mail time. xD

[@rayfalcoa1955]

nice video Taylor Ray,thanks for sharing.

[@Thepartguy]

I need to know how to get one of those covers for the miata. Our endurance race car doesnt have side windows and a wet seat is never fun.

[@BambooB5]

pop out a couple rivets on the lower part of the overfender and bow it out some more by slightly moving the rivets closer to the wheel

[@mrguybrodude7373]

Do you plan on doing FD? I would say def keep this car and build it for pro-am and prep for pro2. The miata is sick but I feel would be too much of a hassle to be at pro2 level with the power/tire situation.

[@willd4082]

I think he has already said he doesn't want to make the RX a pro2 car he has another car in mind and I think the Miata isn't legal for pro2 bc of the subframes

[@WhereverHugo]

@@willd4082 I believe he wanted a Corvette of some sort. But I could be mistaken.

[@willd4082]

@@WhereverHugo yeah I do remember him saying something about another Corvette

[@Barrenchats]

The ramble is strong in this video... yes.

[@ImBrooksie420]

Me and my buddy put his coil overs in his old fc in like 15-20 mins. Literally fc rx7 suspension is so simple compared other cars I’ve worked on

[@jonsquatch]

I don't know if its just the angle when you approach the driver side, but that fender looks like its way more sucked in than the passenger one... have you measured anything from underneath to see if the its the body or the suspension?

[@huckhuckhuck]

9:35 You should take a couple mins to fix those booger welds the P.O. made in that wheel well.

[@jayburrough4308]

Its looking good my friend can't wait to see it work.

[@Based_Trucker]

Hell yea the FC looks great keep up the great work.

[@23stance]

I think the white wheels look better

[@benjaminwilkins4015]

I wonder if I could pick your brain for tips on custom spring rates on some bc ds coils to accomodate for an iron 5.3?

[@crdrifts]

Hey Taylor, since you got a sweet exhaust stand would I be able to pay you build an exhaust for my e30?

[@kenlarge5154]

taylors new home business ^^

[@joshua_lee732]

When you gonna get a set of hood struts for the FC?

[@kenlarge5154]

that would be too nice

[@gotthumbs2235]

Paint.... See if you can setup some paint chips and let Sandy select the color of the car... She's been slacking in the shop lately if seems. Excellent video btw and great to see the weather notices picking up.

[@chrissyaerts9821]

Got Thumbs Sandy is not a big fan of the colder weather so she’s been inside keeping Tuck company

[@LS__812]

You should take the FC to the burnout box at Cleetus and cars

[@johnsimons6748]

The LS RX is coming together nicely dude. Love it very much. 👍🤙

[@Redblock_Alex]

just a thing on alloys too, if you use the clamp grabbing the edges not the inside it prevents the alloy slipping off worst case, although you probably are already aware :)

I have a bunch of fc's and a lot of parts if you ever need anything. I also have a full Granny's speed shop LT/LS FC/FB engine swap kit if anyone needs one it's just been on the shelf, Engine cradle,trans mount,Spicer drive shaft, a bunch of stuff, it's a full kit

[@wrenchtwistin3506]

Hey! Would you happen to know what engine mounts hes using and if the heater core outlets are still useable? It doesnt look like im gonna be able to get to them with my motor in 😥😥

[@everzamora9031]

Size of wheels and offset? Also tires?..Subscribed

[@zmohan69]

This project makes me hype for my v8 rc rx7. Soo glad i already have coils and swap kit and all the stuff i need so far minus the t56

[@smokybud4195]

Looks good brother

[@dark_one1337]

yep, clearly 2 different overfenders in the back, it looks like there is no one on the left. (or the rear axle isn't centered after rear steering delete)

[@WhereverHugo]

15:39 Hey Taylor! The wheels look excellent, but have you noticed the sizeable dent in the front left wheel? Would it still be safe to run?

[@argonsea9244]

WhereverHugo it would be fine as long as it holds air

[@parsleyslet]

It's a big dent no doubt! It may have been because those wheels are reverse mount and all that force to change the tire may have done it.

[@WhereverHugo]

@@parsleyslet Yeah, that could be the cause, didn't think of that!

[@jeremyjackson8261]

Those wheels look good

[@hdsinner]

This is what I'm here for

[@leefhead1]

the rear wheels are offset to the left because the sub frame isnt centered. loosen bolts and you can slide it over.

Yes you have to take her for her first rip at the Black Friday event

[@BK0924]

That suspension is still good you should have seen the coils and struts in the 466,000mile Mercedes diesel that I used to have now they were worn out

[@antp835]

Is one of the lips dented are you going to fix it or was that an xtra

[@westie4ageturbo.749]

The side to side fitment difference is due to the body kit i think, right side looks ok left side looks dented and so is outa shape so the tyre sticks out. ( tyre spelling is correct cause aussie ok!)

[@SpecopsArmageddon]

What size wheels spacers are you running

[@Khan_Art_]

Wow didn't even like this car before. Looks soo much better dropped on better wheels. Remove the stickers and put a kit on it. Great work. Look forward to the Fummins.

Was that last clip with the old suspension? Yikes. Car sounds amazing. Personally i loved the twerk stallion best as a v8 and this has me excited to hear shredding.

[@oceanious22]

It looks like 1 fender is bigger then the other you should deffinetly measure.

well, either that or the suspension is fucked, so I'd be pretty worried about that..
