Man the FC is one of the coolest looking cars ever.

[@ikiguysjp]

100%

[@kakudogroup]

Say no to cheap steering wheel setups. Works Bell 👍👍👍

[@Joro305]

Some of these people really have to be re-educated on what up-badging means, they think that if you take a shiftknob from a trim and put it on a lesser trim, then it's a phony car and it's a disgrace. And like so what if you put a higher trim piece on ur car, if it looks good and you like it then that's all that matters. honestly man don't take non of that bs people try to throw at you.

[@ikiguysjp]

[@fujiwatertofumi5363]

How’s the t2 lip fitment trying to find one cause I have a CS lip for my s4 and it didn’t fit cause front of the car got hit.

[@ikiguysjp]

t2 lip fits decently well if you make some slight modifications. it’s meant for the s5 bumper which is slightly different but you can make it work easily

[@mikeycc11]

Where did you get the new thermowax valve from?

[@ikiguysjp]

Atkins Rotary! Mazdatrix might also have it.

[@garykwan360]

best investment.

[@michaellaframboise7646]

Thanks

[@solomonrivas5466]

hey, what gauges and radio system do you have?

[@ikiguysjp]

Gauges are Prosport I have a video, linked with everything I used, on the channel Radio is a Sony DSX M55BT

[@jerielguerrero619]

your 2000 estimate for the rebuild, was that you dropping off the motor? or did geoff pull it for you?

[@ikiguysjp]

I pulled it with a friend, then used spare housings and traded my NA irons for already ported ones. Made the build a lot cheaper because I didn’t have to buy housings/irons.

[@jort567]

men how this chanel have ONLY 600 subs????????????????????????nice rx7 keep it up

[@ikiguysjp]

appreciate it! i’m glad more people are running into my videos, welcome!

[@eddylorenzo5033]

U could have bought a tirbo 2 on facebook for that but i understand it was a gradual build great job 😊

[@ikiguysjp]

Right but that means my starting price would only be higher, assuming I still would have modded the Turbo 2, so it would be [Turbo 2 Price] + [Mods] which would put me probably close to $35,000+/- instead of the $20,000 spent.

[@ikiguysjp]

I appreciate the comment though!

[@eddylorenzo5033]

@theikigaiproject not necessarily bro I have 1 payed 2k ported engine racing apex new bearing and gaskets studded for under 4k you need to be patient I was gonna start a turbo 2 from scratch it's a project plus to get it exactly like a t2 is hard work but Kool keep up the great work 👍

[@ikiguysjp]

I was assuming I would have modded everything else I got. My street ported motor was only 3k. that’s the least of my expenses lol. I’m assuming I still would have thrown sideskirts, the wheels, the shifter, the interior; the body kit, the alternator upgrade…etc, all on top of buying the Turbo 2. it still would have added up.

[@eddylorenzo5033]

@theikigaiproject I can go on and on lol on why but hey it's your project you love it you concord achievement in make a retro turbo 2 awesome 🙌

Costed isn't a word lol

[@ikiguysjp]

According to Oxford Dictionary and Google, it is definitely a word and a correct and valid past tense form of cost. Take it up with them if you have an issue. lol

my videos, get to make what i want.

[@jorgevelez7913]

Never seen so much money wasted...1100 on a steering wheel and hub lol

[@ikiguysjp]

You call it money wasted, I call it quality parts.

[@Rx4Lyf]

Can't get my head around spend soo much on NA FC. Heaviest Rx7 released, turbo 100% required 😄😄

[@ikiguysjp]

well you know what they say. the car world doesn’t solely revolve around speed and power. there’s more to cars than just how much HP you make.

[@Rx4Lyf]

@@ikiguysjp 100%. Currently half bridging my JDM Turbo FC and moderate sized turbo, FMIC, new ECU, new throttle body, AC and emissions delete. Only chasing 300 odd HP cos I want a drivable rotary 🙂

[@LightGesture]

Honestly, you're clout material rather than a rotary enthusiast. New generation.... You sound like your just ranting and racing. Go past yourself on the back without a camera.
