Building my dream TRACK focused RX7 - introduction

We are a Rotary specialist, and we are building our version of the ultimate, track focused rx7. Using parts from our suppliers like Radium Engineering, Haltech ECU, OBP, BorgWarner, Nankang Tyres and Garagereg.
We will be updating this build series as much as we can, and if you have any questions about what you see on this build series, get in touch at [e-mail].

You earned a subscriber at @8:10 when you said, "gotta keep the pop-ups"

[@ChErRyaVe20pK]

Look at "Alex Williams Rx7". You should do something like that with the body. By far the best widebody build ive seen on this car other than the JGTC RX7.

[@sonyx5332]

I completely agree with you @14:26. I am not a fan of empty and metal only interior of race cars, especially dashboard of tubes. I like/love seeing those race cars that at least leave or have a nice looking interior without looking completely empty. One that comes to mind I think is the McLaren F1 GTR Longtail's interior. I like what you did with the hiding the bare floor with the carpet.

I remember watching you learning to tig weld on the front frame in your garage years ago. Back then did you imagine you'd be here now?

[@advocultmotorsport]

To be honest, it feels a bit strange. It's weird how being surrounded by, and responsible for so many lovely RX7's just becomes normal, it's almost hard to feel achievement as we are just buried in work. But it's nice to see how the company is growing, and how happy the customers are :)

[@RaceCarWings]

I love the movable wing to access the boot

[@Kyleb94]

Would love to see more of that mk2 escort I’m a really big fan of old school fords 😊

[@7pathsofpain625]

I love your ideas for the rx7. I couldn't agree with you more on the race car interior. I honestly dont know why more builders dont try to build a gt3 style interior. I like your ideas for the wing, and gear box as well. I think this build will set some trends! Cant wait to see more of the build!

[@advocultmotorsport]

thank you :)

[@andreazzopardi7311]

Love the vid and the direction you're taking this build. Couldn't have put it better myself, improving the car similar to Porsche's take for their 911 is definitely the way to go, and will actually be doing it myself on my car in the future as well, following the ZF 8HP70 retrofit I have done in my E92 335i. Looking forward to see the finished car. keep up the good work, two thumbs up!

[@BurpleRX7]

Top banana dude, really need to come and get in yo face again soon. Miss ya

[@advocultmotorsport]

pop in for a brew

[@bennyb.1742]

Underrated channel. Well made video.

[@p0intdk]

You will need a very, very short ring gear to use it with that transmission, but best of luck it looks awesome!

[@advocultmotorsport]

Thank you, if you check the box ratios with a 4.1 ring it actually looks pretty perfect. 2300 rpm in 8th gear is 70mph

[@p0intdk]

​@@advocultmotorsport For a more track oriented gearing a even shorter gearing (4.3, 4.56 maybe)would properly more appropriate, it is a rotary after all. But for street yeah that would be terrible.

[@advocultmotorsport]

@@p0intdk punch the details in an online calculator and I think you might be surprised. 1-6 on the 8hp50 is the same as 1-5 on a stock fd box, so you gain a gear for the same wheel output (stock diff ratio). That gets you to 160mph at 8k rpm on a sensible 18”tyre. If we can achieve the target 4K rpm power band this should be the perfect setup. Then that leaves 7-8th for cruising economy should we use the car on the road or feel like trying to reach 240mph (that is by no means a target on the list)

[@prcheese]

Great video, can't wait to see how the car turns out.

[@robsherratt]

Lovely work and what a beautiful looking presenter.

[@5H4K3Y]

Are we watching the same video?

[@slashwannabe2k]

Great first vid! Excited to see the next step of the new build!

[@jishh]

Yes yessss 🔥🔥

[@holdawayt]

Awesome! Subbed for future episodes

[@TheDIYTuners]

Nice work mate looking forward to it

[@Luke-Godzilla]

Look forward to more

[@thebaguette172]

Bakery approved

[@gavinoliver8074]

Love this build. Please keep uploading. In regards to the gearbox did Phil Morrison of driftworks not have serious issues with this setup and go sequential?

[@advocultmotorsport]

Thanks! And phil was using a DCT box, very different internally and with all the issues I’ve seen with this conversion we were put off trying it

[@gavinoliver8074]

@@advocultmotorsport ahhh I see! What an amazing build though. Spectacular 👌 when it's built I'll make sure to come see it rip.

[@suiteproductions]

Look forward to the build progress. Any idea what suspension/geo setup you plan to use initially ?

[@advocultmotorsport]

Stock arms with pillow ball replacement bushes on most, then hopefully Nitron suspension if the budget allows for it 🤓

[@JustAnotherAsianGuy2]

we never going to see him again

[@advocultmotorsport]

Episode 2 is no up :)

[@5H4K3Y]

How was the coffee I made?

[@advocultmotorsport]

Terrible
