I have one, and if I decide to get the body kit, I would probably use it for all around use as a show car and drifting. Then again the stock body lines are perfect enough for me. I already am aiming to upgrade the motor to around 350-400 at the wheels. I have most of the necessary cooling upgrades, along with an Re Amemiya intake inlet, HKS downpipe, and an Apexi N1 exhaust + coilovers,. As far as future upgrades I'm keeping it twin turbo sequential with BNR stage 3 turbos, twin oil cooler, better intercooler, possible ac delete, Apexi power fc commander, full tan Recaro & Nardi interior. Also going to reduce the overall weight and rotating mass.

[@ayeejiff9847]

i watched because this car had the most likable respectable driver i could ever appreciate in my favorite movie, Tokyo Drift.

[@linchester8464]

The reason why this RX-7 was iconic was def because of the bodykit. If no one told you it was a RX-7. No one will know the base car was a FD3S type R. It def odd that the car has a good turbo but they prob limit the boost in fear of uncontrolled drift and crashing it. For the scene where Han was T-boned by Jason Statham. The crashed and flipped car was a stock RX-7 with bits of the Veilside bodykit bits. One shot where you see Han before the car blew up. You noticed the Big brake calipers are missing. No way a T bone crash will make brake calipers go flying off. The directors seem to love big explosions. Because that explosion was basically not possible with normal cars even with the NOS tank

[@petterdalbyvesteras7428]

Agreed i think they was scared of crashing them because the kit is fragile and not easy to repair and very expensive.

It ran 11:40's all day long , shifting into 3rd crossing the XXXX's with a top speed more than the 160mph sportcomp speedometer could handle. Enough torque to push you into the seat anytime the accelerator was pushed. It sported a fully built 350th, Moser 9" Ford with 3.5 gears, 28/10.5/15 rear tires and a six point roll cage with dual five point harnesses.

[@xerodelacroix5552]

You really need to brush up on RX-7's and Veilside. The Veilside fortunes were built to drift, not for top speed.

[@TheRacingJoker]

I get that, it still was a really low number and the torque wasn't even good enough for drifting. And the T04Z is capable of really good whp numbers so I was suprised a car equipped with that turbo had such low numbers

[@xerodelacroix5552]

@@TheRacingJoker The reason RX-7's were so popular in the downhill drifting scene in the 90's and on tracks is actually because of the lack of torque. True drifting, which really isn't shown at all in this movie, not relying on the handbrake and instead using clutch stabs and weight transfers actually made the RX-7's (particularly the FC Turbo II and the FD3S) lack of torque a huge benefit because it was so easy to break traction and flick the rear of the car out, and you didn't have the a lot of torque fighting you. It was a lot like why the AE86 was so good for drifting, but on steroids, with better suspension and weight balance. They needed the extra torque for the movie because a lot of what they did was on either flat surfaces, or not moving very fast at all. At speed, there are few cars that will out-drift a well tuned FC or FD. That is also why rotary swaps are incredibly popular for Miatas. The RX-8 (briefly) in this movie would actually be an interesting car to look into, as the version of the 13b in it was notoriously prone to blowing up, due to emissions restrictions, the removal of the turbo (which had actually helped the FC and FD stay cooler by venting the exhaust, rotaries run EXTREMELY hot), and trying to make it make more base horsepower. I doubt the drifting scenes with it were real, and if they were, it was a 13b-tt under that hood and not a 13b Renesis.

The car only made 300rwhp because it was limited to Stock injectors(550cc primaries and 850cc secondaries) which are really only good for 300whp running at 100% duty cycle.

The car did have NOS and was at 400rwhp when it was built. It also had heavy wheels, stock oem engine, 2 10”, and 1 15” alpine subs, and 2 alpine amps. I built a lot on the car as well as finished the molds for the subs and NOS. We built 2 of them in 5 days. A blue one was built and sent to France for their show, and this for TAS. You can see some of the build photos in my tuning japan vid. It also has the yellow NSX that was in hans garage in the show, as well as the veilside 350z demo car with the first version 3 kit and supercharged. I have done a few projects with yokomaku San and other Japanese tuning shops back in the day.

This video? - kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4uUmICGlqaLq7M I can't watch it fully now but I will later

Legends says that The racing joker builds every fast and the furious cars

[@renyn21]

That was an rx7? What the.. I always thought it looked exotic, reminded me of something like a lotus, with a little mclaren and koenigsegg sprinkled in. That body kit completely transformed the car. I like it not gonna lie.

[@unleaded9443]

You got some awesome videos videos man I love it !! It's probably a long shot but can you do a video on hector's civic lol

[@unleaded9443]

@Sood's danmm I thought he would've put one of those spoon engines in that he ordered from Bryans shop

[@TheRacingJoker]

It's not a huge long shot, It's on the list, I just gotta do the research

[@javierrosadojr.6379]

another big mod this car has is its engine is bridgeported. you can tell by its lumpy and loud idle. its when you enlarge the stock intake port in the housings with a grinder to allow more air to be sucked in from the apex seal. and thats why it idles like that because thats the sound of each rotor making its exhaust stroke

[@taykieth3391]

I was actually part of this build for fast and furious and the whole interia was actually was made out of plastic to keep the weight reduced

[@cen7ury]

Truth be told, I want to find an FD shell, get a 5 axis mill, learn how to be a machinist, and then try my hand at building a non-wankel rotary motor, based on Liquid Piston's DARPA prototype motor. I may not end up with an FD like I want, but no matter what I have plans on trying my hand at making one of those motors from scratch, possibly even from recycled metal smelted down in a home built, solar powered induction foundry. Hey, a man can dream, can't he?

[@andrewking2193]

This is a good video and I learned a lot I didn't know about the car. I wish you would have covered what ended up happening with it. Did it get totalled, dose someone own it, or is it sitting in a back lot abandoned?

[@madern7]

Jesus Christ I just love the sound it makes and the way it’s portrait in the movie, every scene it’s in is amazing to me I love every angle of this beauty. I’d just have it as s project and enjoy it on the weekends 😍

[@Zanarkand_0]

I remember before the movie came out, there was a rumour that the RX-7 was originally going to be a yellow NSX with a wide body kit. I don't remember where I had heard that, but I do remember arguing with my brother about whether or not this car was an NSX until we got a computer lol. If I remember correctly, that rumoured NSX did end up appearing at the start of the movie.

[@fanman71]

300whp on a T04Z ??? Were they running 5 lbs of boost or something ?

[@dethpepper8595]

If you hadn't noticed the windows were tinted on the Benz that wrecked him, meaning it's been in the plan for a minute

[@DrWhoaNumberOne]

Next video:Hawkeye's tractor

[@JP-db7wo]

Dude,you obviously didn't take into consideration the fact that the Rx7 had a full body kit,larger wheels and tires and a full alpine stereo system in it. Of course its going to run like a snail with only 306 hp in it. That VeilSide kit alone had something like 20 peices in it...

[@TheRacingJoker]

I actually did take the kit into consideration, I just forgot to mention the wheels

[@JP-db7wo]

@@TheRacingJoker yeah,i saw that as i was sending the comment. At that point it was too late.
