Have engine swaps gone TOO FAR? RX7 with a Mercedes V12!

We are still at SEMA 2022 and this RX7 with a Mercedes V12 caught our eye. Featuring a one-off kit by the Kyza, this RX7 FD was a standout at the Toyo Treadpass area of the show. We also check out a Skyline R32 GTR that cost $1,000,000 to build, see all the cars that stood out at the show and even a rotary-powered Silvia 240sx. Sit back and enjoy!

Just wanted to show my respect to the 21 year old guy who built that 86 alone wow. People can be soooo special with a good education sky is the limit for that guy amazing 💪

The Skylines are built by Sakamoto-san, the founder of Garage Active Japan and he built both (there is a black one too) of the full carbon cars. Amazing and the most beautiful RB32 Skyline GTRs ever imo, all the carbon weave lines up perfectly just next level. I believe it took about 12 coats of clear and paint to create it.

[@sixfthree]

The guy that built the gt86 is the future Rob Dahm

That modified red 300SL is an automotive dream come true! I love it so much! Edit: DUUUDE! Now that I know why everyone keeps harping on about the 86! That thing is mental! And it is his first project? What he did with the collector and the suspension is beyond impressive. Damn! I am jealous!

[@psnachtmuzik]

The TOYO booth never ever ever ever disappoints. Wonder how they will top these builds next year? 🤔

[@adamhession3478]

Even as a mechanic I'm sitting wondering whether the zones rx7 even runs or if it's just an engine bolted to the car, it's soo clean and smooth 👌

As a complete non-mechanic, I was wondering "aren't there supposed to be lots of other bits?

[@adamhession3478]

[@gmula1987]

Its missing coolant lines, fuel lines, throttle cable, & some radiator fans from what I've seen & possibly dry sump oil lines as well. But if you see the car closely the inner fender wells look like they were cut by a 5 year old as well as the front bumper being mounted to the fenders with a fugly metal bracket with 2 screws on the outside.

[@Jhood3b]

Thank you. Ruthless is a very nice comment. Appreciate you stopping by my 993 Yoshiwara

That tube chassis FRS is a winner, holy shit that's incredible!

[@Yizify]

The Bisimoto Porsche kit looks to be inspired by the Porsche 935 Mobydick racecar from the 80’s. Also the 997 wide body is an Indecent kit

[@The_Klean_Visionary]

This is also a design by the kyza

[@Podwojniak]

Pink 997 kit is made by Incedent in Poland. It has its debut at this year Ultrace on yellow #1 car.

[@AP2PERFORMANCE]

Dark Matter Designs did the body work and paint on the V12 RX7. One man crew. One of the best.

Thanks for the run down boyos, you pick up such a great range of talking points because of your background as more of a car lover for what they are as a whole piece, than what it takes to build them.. good to hear it from ya, that skyline is possessed

“So a couple of questions” 😂😂 just wow. A 21 year old first build…. Just wow… also you guys looks totally humbled by the young talent.

The gr86 when you first walked into Toyo was Larry chens car. He teamed up with Toyota.

[@driftgames_life]

We were speaking to him about it off camera, very cool project!

[@tedpalmer1537]

If you're an old Porsche race car nerd the Bisimoto Porsche is very much a combination of a 935-84 with the 935-78 Le Mans long tail.

[@sammonks1079]

That rubstone red 997 is an indecent kit 👌

[@wojtus1221]

And it’s made by @sebastienpolit from Poland

What is up with these 21 and 22 year old kids. At that age you are supposed to be drinking beer and chasing girls not building some of the most bad ass cars in the world. Thanks for the great coverage.

[@ForgedEggs]

Great vid lads, can I just suggest a Lavalier mic for the next time you'll be in a crowded area? Whenever the camera goes away from you it goes dead quiet.

[@jacobstaub6676]

So the ppl that built the mercedes 300sls are SKlub LA and they arent actually original cars, they are extremely beautiful replicas!

[@lucaswarren5947]

Midnight purple 911 at 13:30 looks like it's Subaru EJ powered. That Intake manifold is a Process West piece that's been anodized. I recognize that timing belt setup.

[@shanehiggins3033]

V12 is still the most superior engine. Perfect balance, amazing sound 👌

[@zeemanjr]

I think you'll find both those Mercedes 300 sl's are fiberglass done by John Sarkisyan. I think. Larry Chen did a video on the first one which was grey with blue interior and similar wheels.

[@fastrace14]

That SL gull-wing could be a replica as Kindig Design did a modified gull-wing that was actually a fibeglass replica.

That R32 is for sure the most expensive JDM car out there that are not the 400R. 400R prices are on a lil different level, as you would expect out of only 40 cars made.

Now speaking of swaps i feel like swaps has kind expanded to a certain extent I mean yu still see the typical Honda or ls swap etc which is koo but getting old in my opinion the fact that there's ppl putting insane engines in old jdm or watever car is crazy koo im a big fan on a unique build.
