BARN FIND First Wash In 10 Years FD RX-7! Satisfying Detailing Restoration!

[@jonatan7599]

This video motivates me to talk to my neighbor about buying his RX7, it’s been sitting for 10+ years since I moved into the neighborhood

[@WDDetailing]

Do it!

[@nateb7354]

Do it

[@ItsTheDon27]

How much you going to offer for it ?

[@erniearambula3525]

it's the most beautifully styled rotary 👍

[@jhontravolta6853]

Come one man you can do this !

[@ForceFed]

Just glancing under the hood I can tell the car has a Peter Farrell racing intercooler upgrade which even to this day is still one of the best intercoolers you can buy for these cars. The car has an aftermarket intake and a metal Air Separator tank, which is a common reliability mod for these cars. I've owned two FD RX-7s, so I have a lot of experience with them :) *EDIT* I see the car also has a brake rotor and caliper upgrade, Peter Farrell exhaust, PF chin spoiler and period correct SSR Integrals. WOW. That car is worth some serious coin right now.

[@danthayer4770]

Looks like it also had the factory strut bar. Definitely a cool piece.

[@calebpike2580]

Is that a stock sub or speaker in the trunk 0:47?

[@AJBAF]

@@calebpike2580 it's not a stock one, its aftermarket. the factory option sound system is a Bose system that is in the trunk.

[@CJDiecast]

The FD Mazda RX-7 is such a beautiful looking car. The aerodynamics, the rounded edges and smooth body lines are absolutely gorgeous. A far departure from the generation before which was very boxy. And it has one of my favorite old school car features, pop-up headlights. I wish these were still around. This was a great detail. It's also nice to see a fairly stock-looking RX-7 rather than a knock-off Fast and Furious version for a change.

[@poplaurentiu4148]

Fully agree the owner would get much more admiration and it would be better to keep it as best he can unmolested as it is clean & beautiful just in best working condition, no wide fenders or weird spoilers & crazy bumpers which not just devalue the whole car price considering the extra price for those body panels and the fitting to modify since will require extra work compared to OEM parts also the price not worth it also it will make it look much stupid..

[@caseynorman20xx]

The 90s-2000s were some of the best looking and worse looking cars. The polarity between the cars of my youth, versus the cars of today, there is no comparison. Modern vehicles all look exactly a like. If I don't see the badge on the car, I can't really k now who makes it. The 90s and 2000s was the high-water mark for design and style, everything down hill from there. But there are some decent looking cars today just not as many as there used to be.

[@Geolog66]

This was my dream car when I was a young man. And I must say it has aged pretty well, I wouldn't mind being seen driving one. You guys certainly made this one shine!

[@pfreali3]

Great work and video. Back in 92, I was a proud owner of a 93 R1 model in Competition Yellow Mica. Only 250 of that color was imported to the states and made one year. I kick myself getting rid of it . This one appears to be an R1 based on suede seats , spoiler , strut brace among other options. Such an awesome machine. If my father only knew how I drove that thing…😂😂🇺🇸

[@joeanthony9162]

That was a great detail. I wish there was someone here in my area to detail my cars like that. I have a '79 Ferrari Dino with metallic blue paint and other cars I'd love to have detailed like that.

[@nateb7354]

Single handedly making a impact on Cleveland’s car scene.

[@zolivarga9873]

Wow guys just wow, this might be my new favourite in this channel. Stellar work.

[@abrakadabra762]

Красивая машина в очень красивом цвете, результат просто супер👍👍👍

[@switawivr6]

The PF intercooler is an iconic upgrade for these cars. Have a friend who bought his '93 FD new, eventually he had Rotary Performance in Dallas do a single-turbo conversion. We were there when they did the final tune and the car made 416hp at the wheels on a rolling dyno. One of the LOUDEST cars I've ever heard, lol. Might not sound like much now, but +400hp in a

[@raykeiperiii]

My eyes just lit up when I seen this car. I can't believe somebody let it sit in the barn and did not drive it. I'd be on the road with that everyday. And also great job guys. I enjoy watching all your videos

[@86smoke]

It is likely that the engine is broken and reparing a rotary engine is not an easy (and cheap) thing.

[@PetrolHeadBrasil]

The RX-7 is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@piddy3825]

Nice! looks as good as the day it rolled off the lot!

[@06E60S85]

Went to Peter Farrell's shop many times in Manassas VA back in the day. Had a 93 Montego blue sporting his intercooler, piggyback ECU& exhaust. Was really fun car. Since then, inherited a completely bone stock 93 FD R1 in red - 1 owner with 7893 original miles.

[@manilamartin1001]

As a 55 year old Asian guy. This was a dream car back in Southern California. Good to see the second life.

[@MrMarshy123456]

Damn WD for this video and the people in the comments for showing so much love for the RX7, I too am guilty like the owner bought my RX7 in 2008 drove it home and it's been in storage ever since ( my plan was long term storage for it and my future other cars) it's been on axle stands ever since, I have nine cars in my collection and now I think it's time they see light of day again so other people can enjoy them also ! thanks for the motivation WD & people in the comments ✌️

[@johnnychrist17]

You definitely should!! Not just that, drive all of them with the same excitement you had when you first got them. What other ones are in your collection??

[@MrMarshy123456]

Supra, R32 & R33 GTR, S14 Silvia, Mazda Eunos Cosmo, Ford Sierra Sapphire Cosworth, Ford Escort Cosworth ( with water injection kit in the boot still installed ) The RX7 ( Bathurst edition ) and last but not least a Volvo 850r ( mine and my wife's first car we purchased together sentimentally it's the most important car we own )

[@serakatkowski2004]

Hi WD Detailing I love your channel and I love your music And I love all of your car detailing videos

[@lamontdickerson6006]

I love these cars man, these and the ford probes, the ford probe is a sleeper tho, people 4get all about them

[@shankarganeshan2273]

Great vid, this is a great example of an FD too, looks like not too many mods apart from aftermarket brakes, wheels, and intercooler by the looks of it

[@karolinetaylor5575]

That guy who detailing is handsome and tall 😍 Fell in love with him. So these LIKE and COMMENTS to support you!

[@dahvid2252]

Takes me back! I owned a red ‘93 RX-7 R1. You can tell if it’s an R1 by the suede seats, no moonroof, extra oil cooler and the front lower spoiler is larger. I basically stole it for $13K back in 1999. The dealership had no clue what they had! Mazda was ahead of it’s time with this beauty. I’m not familiar with this brand of mods. All of my mods were Greddy which helped me run with the Supra’s, Cobra’s and Trans Ams of that time. I couldn’t afford one today for what they are going for. Great video. Bitter sweet.

[@DonnaMSchmid]

Wow... What a pleasure to see a nearly-30-year-old car in such pristine condition! Beautiful!!!

[@MrWill73]

You guys never cease to amaze and inspire me to work on my cars!👍👍👍👍👍

[@fastlane2914]

So much better seeing the cars in your garage 👌

[@Mama.837]

Fun fact. They have apex seals that protect the engine from wear by letting a thin film of oil be present in the combustion chamber which in turn they have high oil consumption. Up to I think a liter of oil every 1000-1500 miles

[@WDDetailing]

That’s sweet!

[@PastorTom2009]

I had a 1987 RX-7. Loved it.

[@internetsurvivor]

My first car was a gold 87 I found that had been sitting for a few years.

[@smokegaming1953]

Fun fact: This particular RX7 shares one thing in common with every other RX7 in the world. I haven't owned any of them. 😭😭😭

[@poplaurentiu4148]

I know 2 super fun facts : first one is about first gen Mazda RX-7 (The FB series had few cars in the Group-B WRC rally but they plan for the second gen RX-7 FC Mazda racing engineers worked on a secret wrc prototype called Mazda RX7S designed to compete in Group-S but since Group-B got banned the Group-S which suppose to follow was ditched as well with RX7S that was almost ready to be tested but it never got to turn it's engines or to get in any motorsport events along with all secret Group-S project prototypes like Audi RS-002, Lancia ECV1 &ECV2, Toyota MR-222D, Ford RS -200 S, Peugeot Quasar 4x4 405 Turbo Ti, Seat Ibiza BiMoto S, Kadet ES 4X4, Lada EVA S-Proto, Mitsubishi Starrion 4WD-S..etc ) now the second fun fact is about Mazda 3'rd generation RX-7 FD, same gen with the car from this clip above, when it was first tested after importing in the US, the 'Playboy thrust magazine' was one of the first who reviewed the FD RX-7 in 1993, they tested it in the same magazine-review issue against the new Dodge Viper (for that time). In that issue, Playboy declared the RX-7 to be the better of the two cars on all chapters since both had 50:50 balance and other similar factors. But the RX-7 FD won the Playboy's Car of the Year title for 1993. ;0)

[@mrpinkyt1356]

Yall are getting better and learning new tricks

[@jarnbjorn4522]

the design of this car is just timeless.

[@danielsaadi803]

I had this exact R1 series Rx-7 when new when I was in college back then. The engine compartment is modified. The battery would have sat in the engine compartment and the red hoses and intercooler has been modified. The strut tower brace is original to the R1 trim package. The front spoiler was also not color keyed to the car and would have been black. The touring package would have had a smaller black spoiler in the front with no wing but the Bose Acoustic speaker system that sounded awesome back in 1993 but the R1 package has the wing, aggressive front spoiler and twin intercoolers instead of one. The touring package had leather seats, they had a cheap package that had cloth and the R1 package had Alcantara seats.

[@jundialhaqiqa9907]

Such a beautiful car, newer sports cars don't do it for me like the classics.

[@gatouchstone]

Great work. Would love to be closer to you guys to have you do both my vehicles.

Thats a nice car. A gem

[@Wesley_C]

Wow, this is a JDM sports car legend, you doing a good work, man.

[@thestyle1971]

I believe that PF was a known Tuner group in the 1990s..so I believe that makes this Rx7 is even more rare, & should be worth a bit more $$

[@MYWork_Production]

Интересный процесс спасибо за видео! 😁😁😁

[@keithrx3c]

Awesome car and great to see it getting a good clean up. Would be awesome to see you guys detailing the earlier 1st gen and FC RX-7's and earlier rotary powered Mazda's as well.

Wow what a classic one of my dream cars the RX-7 and others like 300ZX Twin Turbo, 3000 GT, Supra Twin Turbo, MR2 Turbo, Celica ALL Trac, Eclipse GSX. Brings me back in time. Now I have a 21 GR Supra at 52 years old.

I had an '86 RX-7. The engine was about the size of a breadbox, and mounted way back toward the firewall and the car's balance was great. Had to keep it wound out to get good performance. Not a lot of torque.

@@Edwin_Furnace Yes it actually probably is the factory one.

[@P4SDetails]

Great restoration homie.

[@GoWalk22]

This is an old video but I just found this channel. I think those paint imperfections were caused by the car cover the owner had on it. They are notorious for ruining paint. Love the transformations!

Fun fact on these rx7s, in order to service the fuel filter most of the rear suspension has to be removed.

[@ashrafsiphone5423]

the mazda RX7 and 8 are fantastic cars but one issue is that high maintainance engine over all they are a low budget car that has a fairly powerful engine while keeping a sporty look

[@Andy-ro6ys]

this is a 1994 model year R2. you can tell because it has the passenger airbag.

More content on the r7fd in detail would be nice

Questions;. How do you clean your floor with the tiles in place? Don't they trap dirt and debris? Is there a drain in the floor?

This cars value after this detailed is probably insane rn , get this thing running and driving and boom massive profits

[@speterbilt]

Why the hell can I never find stuff like this. Only thing in my area is garbage. How do y'all find these cars? 30 yrs later and it still looks so modern. I love this car

[@MR_equis]

From what I can see that the RX-7 (R1) has the entire PFS performance catalog thrown at it, intercooler, intake, exhaust, AST and boost gauge. Seeing that the car was in Va, wouldn’t be sure if this was a PFS car. Other mods I can see are SSR Integral wheels which were pretty popular on FDs. I know I have seen this car before in my FD days but that was a while back.

[@alexwang4549]

my dream car with a veilside kit 😩

[@AAtheDUDe]

Beautiful car

[@doxfire]

Looking at this thing, its got a strut tower bar, looks like an upgraded intercooler, boost gauge of course, if anything I would say in the engine probably ported, upgraded apex seals, and uhhh yea that's all I can think of.

[@4Fox59]

Strut tower brace is actually stock. It came with the R1 and R2 packages.

We have a "driveway" find FC Rx7. The single stage pant is faded and was in a fire, this vidoes make me wanna learn more how to restore the single stage pant (its pink from the sun but spot I buffed showed the red can get there)

[@brentduanefoster]

I was pretty surprised at how good of condition the RX-7 looked before the detail job, especially the interior. You guys just put the icing on the cake.

[@toddcallaway8988]

As the owner of a stock 94 RX7 FD cooling is the biggest problem, this car has am aftermarket cooling system and air intake. Fun fact, a lot of RX-7 owners pop the hoods of their cars after they get done driving them to exhaust the heat from under the hood,. The fans do not run after the engine is shut off and the heat buildup can cook the electronics.. In todays world this car stock is quick (4.8) but back in 94 it was a weapon, The power is all in the top end, but this car is not about speed it's about handling, balance and feel; hit a round about at 60 mph and watch the mustang, corvette, bmw, loose their nerve real quick.
