Hert and Vargas get the FD RX-7 project running again - kind of. Did Hert get played by whoever sold him this car? Should the FD just turn into a racecar? Is Vargas well fed? Find out all this and more in Hert's very own episode of Staff Inspection.

[@ChutneyInc.]

Prolly going to be loud in the bay NEWay :]

[@ryanzub5870]

Ha ha ha Hert is too busy to break anything so he just buys pre-broken cars to save time

[@bossnage]

thank you that comment made my day

[@shtopfl5247]

😂😂👍🏻

[@MrTherealestmco]

Shots fired!!!

[@kierenallan747]

Man that shake cam from hert brings back some OG DT memories

[@bmxcycles6696]

SHAKECAM!!

[@metaomicron72]

You are talking like it was 10 years ago. Last year he was doing that.

[@bmxcycles6696]

LazyRock yea, last year not last week hahah, still OG DT memories 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@300zxdriver]

Get someone else to film please.

[@HertLife]

I swear I don’t have a carcaine problem...

[@ZeroRequ1em]

Just a Dorito problem my guy ;)

[@NeatSix]

Need to try the RB life now my dude. Its always one more mod haha

[@CaptanTaco]

More Doritos my guy

[@BLCKCSTLS]

YET

[@_vargas4953]

Bring me back some shirts

[@mickf7260]

I was reading the steps, was disappointed there wasn't something funny after asking if anyone was reading them.

[@mariosantibanez9895]

Fr I was waiting for something funny ha

[@mechanicalking]

Same

[@maarten332]

same

[@pchurch4973]

Missed opportunity

[@theoc8717]

Same

[@TheScreamingDonkey]

Don't let Hert's pain distract you from Scotto's Audi and Vinny's S14 not being done.

[@GGtheRealest]

I'm from the future. Dan built a 2JZ S14 and Vinny's S14 is finished. the audi is still dead lmao

[@leemcelmeel8782]

Vargas's new car is sick!!!

[@BZA_]

Every episode including Vargas is always dope

[@fuse.]

b_RZA so you're telling me all other episodes without vargas aren't dope?!

[@zero2evans]

Vargas getting to tune this and get that first rip as well.

[@jacobryan5764]

You might as well do a manual right now so u don’t have to deal with modifying the automatic engine harness later

[@j.harker8311]

I read steps and especially name descriptions that shits hysterical. Whens scottos next relapse i mean rehab episode?

[@dushantsingh2017]

The next scotto

[@fangk.7367]

Always two there are. A master, and an apprentice

[@hillbillyhippie597]

What’s up with the Hert Illuminati thumbnail 🧐

[@dbgetsblocks9713]

I read it the whole time hert

[@austinreeves5558]

Dushant Singh Hert is actually working on his cars 😂😂

[@uber_stuber]

except hert actually makes his cars run lol

[@thh420]

Hert should just pick up a Faberge egg, degenerate gambling, and a massive multiple drug addictions to have 3 hobbies that are cheaper, and less life destroying combined, than building rotaries.

[@jonkeau5155]

thh420 don’t worry, should be a tax write off if they use it to create content, their accountant must have said they need to drop 20k in writeoffs by the end of the year....

[@boardaway1]

I love the staff inspection episodes. Been waiting for the fd since he bought it. Super excited

[@codybyrd5191]

Long live papi Vargas

[@TASTYTREATSPLS]

Herts filming? Better take Dramamine.

[@LVPIERCED]

MR HOYLIELEV you 😂😂

[@cmonkey525]

Yeah super sporadic and jerky

[@colinhawley8050]

The motor cranking could make a pretty sick beat if mixed right, Hert. Also, nice to see you making progress on your other vehicles

[@TheHoonigans]

That’s a challenge to someone. We wanna hear that remix.

[@waltergarcia5428]

He did all that in Guccis

[@YaBoiJessy]

Yes of course we read the steps 🖤

[@Jakeserra]

Famous words of every rotary owner “give it a second it’ll start”

[@YeetxBoi]

Jake’s Garage *engine starts but runs like shit* "that's just because it's cold"

[@TheOdd]

A year from now that car is gonna be metallic red, have a gold engine bay, a big wing and it still won't run. Hert is fully on the path to being the new Scotto.

[@MrRomusSkyrider]

step 5? none. lol Yes some of us are reading the captions. Car looks sick! Reminds me of my FD when I got it. It's a 93 Efini so it's RHD with cloth interior, however, the tan leather in your fd was always my first choice. I for one, can;t wait to see the finished product. Cheers!

[@toxicmongoose7061]

you were living in the FC world.. Financial Crisis.. now you have entered into the FD world...Financial Devastation!!!

[@SeedNBS]

ToxicMongoose so then what's that make an SA

[@toxicmongoose7061]

Somewhat Acceptable

[@crutch517]

What is FB then?

[@marcosamadop_1]

DORIYAAA Financial Breakdown

[@jordancivic96]

Financial Burden

[@BOMEFSY]

Go BIG or go home..all I gotta say :D.....Vargas needs to be in more episodes

[@ughyoutookmyusername]

Chris Scars so weird seeing you here lmao

[@thegenerousdegenerate9395]

Hert couldnt afford it.

[@m.Xander_562]

Agreed.... But it seems like Dan doesn't like how messy Vargas is when working

[@BakumaZaGreat]

I just realized that this was the most weve ever heard vargas talk. Neat

[@smalzsmalz6996]

How long until he V8 swaps, then breaks, then loses the hood, then swaps back to rotary?

[@estebannasukowicz3903]

I see a very good sleeper here. Leave the outside the way it is...

[@destindelaserna7686]

ESTEBAN NASUKOWICZ lmao he’s a drifter... he don’t give a fuck bout no sleeper..

[@keepitzipped]

In what world is a f.d a sleeper?

[@estebannasukowicz3903]

stock FD's are not anywhere as fast as some modern day cars... brand new they had 255 hp and 0-60 at a "staggering" 5 seconds... not fast at all by today's standards. www.zeroto60times.com/5-second-cars-0-60-mph-times/

[@kurt414]

ESTEBAN NASUKOWICZ they definitely aren't fast stock by modern car standards, but generally when you see an fd the owner has modded it

[@colormesarge]

No one thinks a FD is a sleeper. It's a sports car to start with.

[@NotTheChad-]

Bought an 94 FD for $5500 and sold it for $11,000 the next month. I’ve never regretted making money until that experience

[@mikey_gc8]

This the most I’ve ever heard Rotar Papi speak 😯

[@iAmDonH]

Yeah, I was reading step 5

[@ethanhutchison5132]

Yes the steps showing what you're doing helps keep up with what's being down in each video helps some fans keep track of the progress, cant wait to watch the progress, see you kill all the tires😂😂 hertlyfe

[@antoniollove]

step 5: i am reading the steps. thank you

[@wrifraff]

Yep, still reading!

[@danielace4699]

Antonio Lloveras Same still reading

[@DaniloAndrade87]

of course we are reading, lol

[@jpierce91]

I don't want a rx7 anymore. Thanks....

[@redlion145]

It's a car you buy and then put more than the purchase price into restoring and rebuilding it, just to be able to drive it. Like an air-cooled Porche. If that's your thing and you're not bankrupting your family to do it, by all means, feel free. It's certainly not the most economical sports car though.

[@redlion145]

I would think that most people who are buying an RX-7 are looking for a rotary experience. Well that's why I would buy one, anyway. I mean you can shoehorn an LS into any old frame.

[@braed6202]

no, you do not fucking swap an rx-7, go away

[@DONTRAGEQUlT]

I’m literally going through this right now. I have an fc and it was supposed to be a $3500 rebuild. Here I am $7500 later and 3 months. Hopefully it’s done next week though!

[@niallcorcoran4437]

jpierce91 god if you only knew how much a proper rx7 runs you and all the other things... lmfaooo

[@definni9030]

Is this ever going to be continued?!?

[@oswaldolopez6141]

Hert's next super street car ????? AKA HOT BOI AF !!

[@johngriffith2882]

Anything with hert and I’m in. Papi V. Is a bonus. ❤️ Also thank you for giving me multiple reasons of why not to buy a FD 😂

[@_vargas4953]

John Griffith should still go out and buy one 😂

[@Draconiam]

This just makes me want an FD all the more.

[@bradonjolley301]

I’m reading the comment at 13:15 because I’m stuck on KZbin watching car videos at 4 am when I should be sleeping. Thanks hoonigan🤙

[@aldocruz7636]

Yes I am reading it

[@intox69]

lol me 2...

[@wotchnloern13]

for sure! ;D

[@glenhulsen1965]

Same

[@D3ltal4mbda22]

Read it

[@2moke2creen]

Your profile pick says otherwise.

[@LurkMoar101]

Step 5 : I sure am. I read everything.

[@emerybooker6335]

Yes I was reading the steps and noticed number 5. Seems about like most of my builds as well. Remove stuff remove more stuff but the whole damn car and start from a shell.

[@KwyattCreations]

Can’t wait till next year for the update video

[@jtj_2265]

Step 5 tho 🤔

[@Zack-np2ko]

"didn't work in 1993 doesn't work in 2020" this quote aged well

[@tristanmeeps8401]

I bet you hert and kikawa are holding hands watching the comments tonight

[@TheHoonigans]

Maybe...

[@jonhm9047]

TheHoonigans hi

[@berticusmaximus00]

Hert is turning into jdm scotto

[@tiredhero]

i have learned that if you buy a rotary expect things to be bad.. one way or another... i still keep buying them though

[@buddaha420kmk]

$35,000 later the car is done

[@BoostedPastime]

xjesse92x only $35,000 :p what a steal!

[@kasper_429]

For 35 grand he could put a 3 rotor in it. Actually, that's an epic idea. Lol.

[@DeividasGedgaudas]

Maybe you got played ? :D Not him ? Maybe he just kept his mouth shut while selling this? :D

[@chrishuyler3580]

Looks like about $7k worth of FD to me. Vargas said a clean stock goes for $12k? Maybe 10 years ago.

[@GarrettsGear]

Step 5... Yes I'm reading it. I'm offended.

[@reggiexp69]

yes im reading it i find it funny :)

[@skaterpatrick98]

Look forward to y’alls video everyday. Plz bring back “A beer with.” And make them MFERS DRINK LIKE HERT DID💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻

[@theadamsfamily1170]

When you're building something like that it's best to go all out I mean it's nice to get it up and running for now but the finished product should be amazed💯

[@ebirdsall38]

Teague!!! I thought he was gone cause we haven't seen him in forever!!

[@dn252]

i read step 5! still repping the vidzz!!

[@spit8437]

“Our car” lol 😂

[@tydshiin5783]

Ussr theme starts playing

[@mind7933]

I think Hert needs and intervention. He coughs what Ashley and Scotto have

[@slowrps13]

Step 5: yes

[@BeaudoinMotorsports]

9:50 Dan throwing some SHADEEEEE, love it

[@okboomer257]

Does everyone get a heart?

[@nicoftime1534]

Most are on the notification gang but I prefer the refresh squad please and thank you

[@Nitrocity7151]

Dont let him mess up your FD hert Run them oem turbos Run that stock radiator (maybe) The vacuum lines are a problem tho

[@kdoeone]

The downfalls of buying a used car.

[@LapLandSystem]

Don't Get Screwed Buying A Used Car

[@MoJoeRyhsen]

Nahh, this is the downfall of buying a +20 year old, used rotary that wasn't taken care of all that well.

[@zacharyfeit4858]

Downfall of buying a CLAPPED car

[@RiggyRonnie]

My dream car is a used right hand drive r34. For the price of a new Camry I think it's gonna be sweet

[@ant7018]

• It's Mighty Matt • i hope you're not serious. 😖

[@tblackshoutgod1553]

4 Rotar it and MAKE it LOUD Dude

[@TheHoonigans]

☝️

[@glock1inthetop45]

You have no idea how much a 4 rotor is right?

[@MerkieTv]

Juan Rios yeah 2 more rotors and a 2 rotor

[@glock1inthetop45]

Mark Carrizales money wise

[@deedler5687]

20~25k for one Built from 12a housings and assembled in the U.S.

[@tannerharkey]

Of course we're reading the steps. It helps us

[@joem3713]

Who ever edits these videos is killing it haha. These videos have me laughing and interested every video haha

[@toddlerdurden7331]

You should leave the bodywork just how it is, keep it looking stock but with a sorted engine.

[@jdsbuilt9651]

I think the same bro

[@aerofoxoosvn]

Don't

[@Jozko42]

Veilside body kit ;-)

[@Zankaroo]

k k, no. No Veilside kits, no RE Amemiya kits. They have been done to hell and everybody has seen it 50 million times. Since he wanted stock he should just repair the body and leave it stock or put a very subtle kit on it that barely changes the car if he wants to sort out how the body looks.

[@kasper_429]

Personally I think he should put a full JDM 99 spec "OEM body kit" on it. That look is WAY better than the USDM look IMO, at least the front bumper and the spoiler (which are the main changes lol).

[@estebanduran2717]

This feels like a scene from FF just this time I know what they’re talking about 😎😎

[@aaron5222]

Definitely reading the steps.

[@aldocruz7636]

First day back to school watching hoonigan is the only way to relieve my depression that I hide

[@mattdupuis4838]

Oh shit with the circle!!!!yeah this!!!! Hahahahah

[@ant7018]

Matt Dupuis what in the fuck did you just say?

[@ayitsyaboii938]

VTEC kicked in yo! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@mattdupuis4838]

When Vargas shows the circle 👌🏻 Hert goes “did I miss anything?” Lmfao girl

[@ant7018]

Matt Dupuis it was bad timing no? That kid Just confessed he has the depressions! 😕

[@BLACKJEZUS141]

OSHA approved Gucci slides.

[@mordiehicks9915]

This should be interesting, Badass automatic rotory FD. Git r done !!!

[@linchester8464]

Hert's middle name is Takahashi. Coz he got a FD and FC.

[@TheXFeedz1]

Tbh if you’re rebuilding the engine, you might as well say f*!k it and pull the trans and make it manual. I don’t see the point on having it auto if you’re already doing so much to it

[@jayz_performance]

Jason Bouphasavanh ummm whut

[@silentsamuel_]

Of course I read the steps whoever edited this video, and the little things under people's names are freaking great

[@BasicBuiltHawaii]

I feel like everyone and their grandma is buying an FD for their channel now...

[@kurtseyffert6649]

hert got this back last year when tommy got hes then all the scene kids got them

[@BasicBuiltHawaii]

Kurt Seyffert ayyy, true dat. I feel u on that one 👌🏾 it’ll never change my outlook on boss man Hert!

[@anthonypaige8598]

I cant wait for hert to " break" this car in lol 🤣🤣 by the way I am reading them!!!!!

[@spyingbigfoot1181]

Anthonyball420 Paige the hood has to fly off

[@ghostinthetreeline]

i read everything, haha. Gonna be a sick build Hert.

[@rskrks]

The sexiest car Mazda ever made... I once had an mx6 it was a piece of 💩

[@GapedCeiling]

please dont skimp on the tasty FD content. a lot of rx7 builds on youtube go from trash to gold and half the build progress is never shared. so stoked for a new FD build to watch and i know its gunna be amazing cuz the twerkstallion is just a glimpse of what the FD could be

[@zackkirby7374]

step 5 confirmed the illuminati?

[@jesusn7146]

only reason i stay up is to see the new upload lol

[@NCFREEMAN]

Me to and I'm in North Carolina!!!!!! 3am and I have to be up at 5am insomnia sucks!!!!!!

[@Andrewlang90]

Hert doesn’t have a carcaine problem, he has a wrenchamphetimine problem.

[@ally0urb4ser]

wrenchamphetamine goes straight to the core of most who make/view these videos

[@toreewilliver8350]

Hert what’s the deal? Where’s the next episode? Thought you’d have a veilside kit on it already?

[@cxbra]

When did Kikawa’s son come back? Haha sorry Brandon.

[@B0nurSanchez]

I thought Brandon quit??? WTF??

[@ChutneyInc.]

Hert... I don't know what kind of music you listen to, or how many miles you drove it, but it definitely sings to you. #startup #muffler

[@braydenY52]

If I don’t end up getting a fd when I get older, I’ll be disappointed.

[@adalh.castro4432]

Good luck, they're gonna be expensive as hell.

[@BoostedPastime]

Adal H. Castro just about to say by the time we can get them now the price will double lol

[@brianmckinley6546]

But the s15 Is best

[@sugasherm]

Brian Mckinley hoping for this comment

[@braydenY52]

Brian Mckinley u are right but I would also love to have a fd

[@yuGtahT]

Hert, just do it right man. Bring another FD back to the streets!!!

[@dylonharned1098]

I actually was reading it you got me🤣🤣🤣

[@OmarHernandez-mg1rr]

The only reason why i stay up this late thank you bois for making it worth it👌🏽

[@TheHoonigans]

We appreciate that.

[@LordJoeWhitaker]

I was reading them guy/girl editing this video and I respect you for all the work you do.

[@matiaslabra6581]

18:12 that list grows fast!!

[@mlg6992]

How long ago was this filmed? #Y2Kstrikesagain

[@jgalloway528]

MooseAF he comes back once in a while to help with editing. They’ve mentioned it a previous episode

[@mlg6992]

jgalloway528 I played myself

[@fourdoorsoup]

With Vargas working on this thing the Audi will be done first

[@eloycarbajal1457]

I like reading the things you put

[@Paulsicles]

7:53 - A wild Y2K appeared!

[@harrisonremedios8430]

Ew can’t we just toss this bag of Doritos cause I think it’s expired

[@TheHoonigans]

Damn, you cold as ice.

[@harrisonremedios8430]

TheHoonigans if I’m gonna be cold I’m at least gonna be ice cold.

[@vipsoarer88]

What's up guys sooo how do I apply at hoonigan lol great job guys car is gonna be the most reliable daily ever in the hands on the rotory god🙏. Caint wait to see it finished

[@mkknnnzzzz]

It sounds like a cow giving birth

[@redlion145]

I haven't experienced that, but I'll take your word for it. When I heard it, I thought it had a potato stuffed in the exhaust or something.

[@thegenerousdegenerate9395]

I need lne of those pipes on my car. 🚗-MOOOoooo....

[@bgbdcam]

Most people who make repeated bad decisions keep an attorney on retainer.... Hert keeps a Vargas on retainer.

[@magnumdubstep8765]

lolz

[@andrewwhitehall1785]

yes Hert, we read them all

[@GarrettsGear]

It's still an automatic

[@GarrettsGear]

phillyguerrilla lol ik and it's still an icon. I gotta poke fun at Hert though!
