As for a recommendation at end of video: -Only drivetrain mods I would do to the RX-7 ... Diff and DCT transmission or RX-8 ('08-'11) transmission (tight gear set) -Getting the RX-7 totally overhauled is kinda a good thing because their value is going up. It'll be a pain, but worth it if ya wanna keep a while too tho. - 3 Rotor is neat. But not needed on street. Also makes trips even shorter due to fuel consumption. Just double down on good midsize dual scroll and get boost early. Also most RX-7 have stupid long gear sets. Change that and the car feels so much more responsive.

[@Smeedia]

You've talked me into it, keeping the 2 rotor and refreshing everything and repainting everything. If I'm going to do it to any car I have the RX7 seems like the beat candidate. Luckily we pretty much already have everything so tear down and rebuild shouldent be too bad 🔥

[@damiendoisher7812]

@@Smeedia hks bolt ons would be mint. 2 rotor will make 600 on E with the right turbo and a good tune. Not that it’s needed 400-450 would be plenty spicy.

[@josephmatuszak3855]

@@Smeedia My best advice is just that. And try to retain as much as the VIN originality. If it's auto, maybe go DCT. If it's Manual, close ratio 6 spd. Use the Original color, but maybe a added metallic flake of a different shade or color to alter the flop. Avoid cutting up too much. The biggest issue with RX-7's is gear ratio and the glass differentials.

Hopefully this is helpful in some way, for the brake light check your brake fluid level sensor. when you run low on fluid it trips the brake light on but the sensor may be faulty. the rest im clueless on lol. Solid build tho man!

That can cause it to trip, but when the brake light is on in conjuction with thr battery light it's typically an indication of the charging system having some issue. But I have seen that light come on from low fluid before 🫡

[@RadDadisRad]

A bad voltage regulator will also make AC output. If you have an AC/DC multimeter you can set the meter to AC and read voltage output from the alternator. If you have any voltage your regulator isn’t regulating. I found this out the hard way years ago.

[@Smeedia]

I did not know that, I'll give that a try as well. My fluke does AC/DC. That's the first time I've ever had an alternator overcharge before 😅

[@Thechaoscrusadors]

Personal thoughts for rx7. Ripper down!! You will be a lot happier with the car knowing it was completely rebuilt. You have said its more of a personal then a content car anyways. 3 rotors can be a lot of fun but 2 rotor is better for regular driving. If you do a 3 rotor swap i recommend swapping the tranny aswell. Shorter ratios are better accel lower top speed higher is vise versa. I am eager to see as i am in the process of doing a frame up on my 84 rx7! Swapping in subie parts weirdly enough. I like the knuckles, coilovers, and rear end should slip right in. With some mounting mods lol.

[@Smeedia]

Thinking that's what I'll do. Keep the 2 rotor set up so were not spending TONs of $$$ and redo everything else to get it tip top. Would love to have that thing 100%. Plus they're only going to increase in vLue 🙌

[@peterose4650]

Hey Tanner, have you thought of trying to paint the fender flares yourself off the car with auto paint in rattle cans? I wound do plastic adhesion promoter as a primer, then custom made wrb (02c paint code) base coat in a rattle can (likely 3 coats), then clear with 3 coats of spraymax 2k. As long as the color match is close you will be golden but blending into the quarter panel would of course get you the best Result (but much more expensive ...). Worth a try before shelling out money for the paint shop.

[@Smeedia]

I debated it but I have no idea how to blend paint. The flares and body would be two different shades and it would be suuuuuuprr noticeable 😅

[@peterose4650]

Yeah, I would only do the flares with rattle cans (not fender). Clearing the entire fender with a rattle can likely would not come out well. It may be worth a try to see if you can get a close enough color match DIY (Mabey do a test sample on a scrap piece?). You would only be out $60 or so for materials and it may come out nice

When you did the axle seals, did you make sure to have the little arrow on the seals pointing towards the front of the car? They are directional and will leak over time. Ask me how I know... Also, one last thing. The AEM oil pressure guage kit, when you put the oil pressure sensor where the stock sensor went (above the oil pump), how did you wire it up? Did you leave the stock sensor wire unplugged, or splice it in with the new kit? My 06 Hawkeye has the same kit, but the sensor is on an adapter plate on the oil filter. I want to move it above the oil pump, but I am not sure about the stock sensor wire. I absolutely love the Hawkeye content. I can't wait to see it completely done and see some power numbers.

[@Smeedia]

Lmao nope 😂 if they start leaking I'll swap them again. I had no idea they were directional 😅 Just leave the stock one unplugged. Thr light will stay off on the dash 🫡

@Smeedia yes sir they are. They have different part numbers. One is a 290, and the other is 300. Mine started leaking about 4 months after replacing them. After a trip back to the dealership to get more is when the parts guy told me they are directional. The little arrow is behind the lip that faces the axle. Good to know about the oil pressure wire.
