MAZDA FD RX7 QUICK BUILD - EP 1

[@am55255]

This series gives me hope that my project that has been sitting a bit with life going on around me can come together too.

[@PhantomShane914]

You will get it done. Don't put a deadline on it but make a list of things you need to do and knock them out as you can. Best of luck to you, just don't lose hope.

[@EddyEP2]

What’s your project? Doesn’t matter how long it will take to finish it, just enjoy the process of making something the way YOU want it🙏🏻

[@am55255]

@@EddyEP2 restoring and updating a 2003 K24 Accord that’s turboed that a friend built before passing away. He had some big plans he never got to see through so I’m trying to finish it.

[@EddyEP2]

@@am55255 that’s great man! Take your time with it, and restore it the way that your friend and you would’ve liked it. Just do one thing at a time and keep it on the road to honour him🙏🏻

[@dust4172]

Same, got an FD just sitting at the moment

[@Naki7g]

That engine bay is looking so clean and everything is just fitting perfect can't wait to see it up and running

[@amulu10]

7670 is a great choice! A lot of people have found that it has a response matching or even better than factory sequential twins! Excited to see results when the build is done

[@icedfluid]

it's WAY better than OEM twins.

[@danielmahler16]

8374 >>>

[@philp7012]

Not much of a JDM guy myself but these things are totally worth the hype. A stunning shape and unique engine. Cool project!

[@alouisschafer7212]

RX7 is a god tier car fr

[@ragweedmakesmesneeze]

"Quick Build" proceeds to rip through video of installing engine, fuel and cooling systems complete with custom made brackets. Quick Video maybe, but this is a pretty extensive project, right? (Honestly, I wouldn't mind if you slowed them down a bit and talked more details about various parts/procedures etc. E.g., all the fuel system stuff, what's the stock set up, what's modified and why?)

[@BeardedCarBuddy]

Thanks! I have been waiting for this beast of a project to be released!

[@mmavcanuck]

The engine build series for this car convinced me to buy an fc rx7. I’ll never forgive you Dave. ;)

[@justinmcgill4806]

This has been my ultimate dream car for years. Love the sound of the rotary powerplant and the beautiful, timeless design of the exterior

[@Beezy_Builds]

I know the average viewers attention span is so short it forces short form content but damn I love a nice lengthy build series for the details. I know thats not what the algorithm wants though so I get it

[@EddyEP2]

At work right now but will watch it right away when I get home tonight….can’t wait🙏🏻

[@honestimpulseprod5387]

It’s remarkably remarkable how often Dave says remarkable in each remarkable video. Seriously it’s like take a drink each time and you will finish a case by the end of the series.

[@mikesandi4871]

Guys that car is way different than all the japanese we are used to seeing! Great built so far! Cheers to you both! Great videos and so many Great cars! Grettings from Costa Rica

[@bigmikes2140]

Dry ice blasting will help the underside of the FD. Best built cars on KZbin

[@TheRealTomLauda]

I'm so pumpeed for this build series ! I love the FD, such a beautiful car. That engine bay looks so clean, well done !

[@TheMerwais]

This is a refreshing pace boys, I like how the build is come along quick but still has some technical details ... Great job on the video!

[@RotaryChannel]

I literally asked in my head, "wheres the FPR ar??" Was thinking it was mounted somewhere hidden. Super clean work guys!!

[@christophermartin4887]

These guys' build style is sooo clean and timeless. Good God. Love it.

[@brentleone8340]

Great car to build been waiting for you guys to start another car can't wait to see it completely done. You guys do great work and love how you guys explain everything.

[@johnreichel7359]

Keep the content coming! I do prefer the longer more technical video build format but I understand this might be better for KZbin… keep it up, looking forward to see this completed.

[@mr.cangieter8758]

Man how i miss these build series.

[@finnmichaelj]

This pacing is great! Love the V Mount.

[@SnubBarracuda]

Best car channel on KZbin. 2 Regular guys that could be your next door neighbor or drinking buddy... then when you see their garage and the cars they are working on you are like "omfg, you guys are my heroes." lol. Keep living the dream, boys! /Respect

[@michaelallen2501]

I forgot how gorgeous that color is.

[@rx7racerca]

Brap-brap! I rebuilt the 13B in the 91 RX-7 I've owned and tracked for 25 years earlier this year - it was very satisfying to have it fire and run perfectly on the first try. I'm looking forward to seeing and hearing yours run soon :)

[@TypeSC2]

That's looking so good!!! So satisfying seeing all that piping and filter fit up!!!

[@dg5745]

These builds are amazing. You guys do an amazing job on all your projects.

[@zmarko]

The FD is an amazing car...as long as you have a 2nd car. 😆 I bought my first one in 1996 and it was my only car. Tough to live with on a day to day basis. I still think it's the best looking car ever made though. The design is just perfect aesthetically IMO.

[@1_of_4]

That V mount kit is freaking rad

[@frun4]

Bet that FD would look reaaaaal good after a trip to honey seal (I might be addicted to dry ice blasting videos now.. thanks for that)

[@arrivendrive6831]

Loving the build. My anxiety is blasting off the charts for the awaiting the day you guys take it to the track. I think the 8374 iwg would have been a little better suited but if the track is a bit tighter than the turbo you guys picked will be better. I have my fuel pressure regulator in the same spot on my Fd and Cam from Petit told me to move it. He said that with the amount of heat that is created during trackdays that the gasket inside the regulator gets toasted. Once it gets toasted it will leak fuel onto your engine and cause an engine fire. I will be relocating mine very soon. Thanks for the video and I look forward to seeing the finish project. Brap on

[@ghostighosti9443]

Finally bought one and picking up this week, been looking forward to this for a few years. watched your vid a couple of times 😅

[@lancelaprarie6128]

Super sick. Love the nod to the spirit R by way of paint code. Fantastic choice.

[@MarkAnthony-rb7fp]

The OCD level fitment of this build pleases me.😁

[@Dibbs10101]

Love the color blue used. Very eye catching without screaming at you. Placing bets on a solid 380 whp build.

[@Mynamemightbemichael]

To have an easier time undoing any hoses in the future and preventing corrosion, dielectric grease lightly applied to those surfaces works like a treat. Any o ring, any electrical connector, grounds, Ect it is a great tool. Silicone brake lube can also be used for non electrical stuff.

[@shyguy4no1]

Man... you are making me miss my 87 rx-7.

[@ofthenearfuture]

The body had turned out so amazing, I'd been waiting for this series! But doing it as a quick build must've taken a long time to shoot lol. And this format still worked as a build series vs the usual length with more episodes. I really like your super clean and oem+ builds tho and the FD is no exception, it's starting strong. Can't wait to watch it come together!

[@GaborSNagy-be2rh]

Congratulations to you! It seems that you are demanding builders!!

[@verdict1163]

Might want to think about installing a brake master cylinder brace. The firewall flexes under hard braking, which eventually deforms the metal and results in a mushy pedal feel. I have one from IRP Performance and it is great.

[@markmartin7384]

Looks awesome, love the colour, going to be a nice build and good turbo choice

[@CrazyCat229]

I love this project so much. I think YEARS ago I asked about v-mount for i/c before they became mainstream on your old website. Glad you kept it a rotary! Hopefully I will get mine taken apart and rebuilt its been sitting since around 2012.... T_T I miss the brap.

[@blakelip3]

That Mica Blue Paint is amazing 😊😊

[@158158cow]

Super well-paced video and enjoying the music on this one! That blue is gorgeous… 💙

[@cmkelly1965]

I had a 1977 yellow RX3-SP with a 12A rotary back in the day. I could create my own smoke screen!

[@Smokkedandslammed]

That Radium FPR with all the doodads on it is super sick nasty 👌

[@millyActual]

Great series and looks awesome! You’ll want to flip that front fuse box back to right side up. If it’s left upside down like that over time moisture will build up and soak into the top of the fuses since they’re upside down…weird things will start to happen!

[@dmp.performance8635]

Love the cleanliness and the detail on this setup!

[@moereefer]

Great work love the Vmount setup. Love you guys work. 👍🏻

[@peall]

Love these quick builds!

[@pFbSpecV]

Heck yea! I’d love me a FD! Maybe one day I will purchase my friends 4g63 swapped one!

[@Freeride600]

looking forward to the rest of this series, that's a great looking FD

[@peterga3658]

i like your build .. i love rotary engines ..

[@ChinitFxt]

Man I’m in love with that color

[@richardsimons1234]

Been waiting for the continuation of this series for such a long time. Super excited to see more!

[@L8NiteCoffeeSips]

I’m not fan of color blue but damn rx7 looks gorgeous in it!

[@TwistedAnkles]

You guys have upped your game and have came along way. Really enjoyable content, good work fellas.

[@88Frank]

This series is soooo good. Not sure if the plan is to get it all running first but I personally would revist the pipes and hoses in the engine bay as the rest of the car is really top notch. I wouldn't want a mix of silicon and clamps etc as it detracts from the bay

[@HFMartini6]

that thing looks stunning! looks like I need to rethink my "not another unreliable project car" policy.

[@StalesGaming]

Massive episode! You two are artists 🎨

[@chilrl7425]

simple way. always drop the front subframe onto a bench. build you motor and gearbox combo on the bench, on the subframe. Then wheel the bench under the car and lower car down. nothing has to hang and swing and you have great access to the engine to assemble everything prior to installation.

[@il_calabresi8672]

greaT ACHIEVEMENT GUYS. brilliant stuff love the fd rx7 i own one my self..

[@chasealvarez5209]

You guys have quite the collection of Jdm cars. Wonder whats next on the list

[@AutoMotiv8ed]

Loved the episode guys! You've given me motivation to start my FD build!!

[@RyanFooproof]

Been waiting for the FD build!!

[@shawnjacobi8717]

Man you guys are killing it!! Can not wait to see the wheels you are putting on it!

[@jord_jitzu3983]

Img I’ve been waiting for this for so damn long can’t wait for this man you have no idea

[@ianskinner1619]

the builder is what makes a reliable engine.. I built mine like they were going into aircraft.. way over engineered. never had one come back blown , ( that were taken care of properly )

[@kramneslo]

Love the build. Love the content. You guys knocked it out of the park!

[@jdmcarcollection7263]

Excellent job guys. maybe enclose the air intake to stop hot air being sucked in from the engine bay. best car on this planet

[@juanvaldez6651]

These videos crack me up, Your buddies must be selling you these cars for those prices.

[@bobbyrios2k223]

Such a beautiful car and that engine bay looks so good!

[@qpasas]

wath a beautiful engine bay you nailed it

[@thepcmrtim]

I have the TurboSource 7670 kit on my FC the response is crazy good on the IWG.

[@ckbhack]

Innocent blue mica or sapphire blue mica here in North America is my favorite Mazda color. This is also the factory color for 10th anniversary Miata.

[@hugsshrugs9247]

sick car, you guys do the best build videos.

[@antbymcnair4297]

Very exciting build SA! Cannot wait for the next episode

[@schnell9364]

Super sweet install. looks great!

[@darnell1320]

Finally more rotary content!! Let's gooo!!

[@Hayabusagsxr1300]

It would be awesome if you guys compared this FD against the Supra and the GTR at the track. 3 of the holiest JDM 90s dream cars

[@TheMerwais]

Best way to start my weekend!!!

[@pault2417]

looking good boys, can't wait for that dorito braaaap. Love that V mount, but it is going to need those pac man tail lights

[@ethanmellein]

I’d love to see you guys do an SW20 MR2 build! Giving one of those the Speed Academy treatment would be awesome! I recently acquired ZZW30 (MR2 Spyder) and it is such a blast to drive

[@skillstacking]

Quick build: thumbnail has the engine out of the car haha love you guys.

[@dumbestoyster]

I just watched the RX7 dyno video from 6 years ago.. DP, you are definitely looking a lot more Canadian...🙃

[@512Berlinetta]

That color is pertty 💙

[@TheGoodMedicine]

we deserve every day upload for all that wait

[@RFO8420]

Yea mounting the relay box right behind the front bumper is a great impact cushioner lol 😆 great build though

[@tsncampbell]

There is no way this engine and build is going this smooth. Hey guys, how about a bloopers and out-takes vid after this one is buttoned up?

[@DJ_Driven]

Way back when I had my 1993 RX7 R1 there was just nothing cool on the market. Nobody knew how to tune these cars or anything. Watching this makes me want to get another one since the market is finally catching up to what I wanted. A company like Cobb or equivalent should make a V-mount intercooler kit with cast and tanks for this application along with carbon fiber ductwork. Also have a ram air carbon fiber airbox option to prevent heat soak.

[@anydaynow01]

Bad Obsession Motorsports is about to start sending you guys hate mail, kidding of course, those guys are great and Project Binky is legend, if it will ever be finished.

[@blue04mx53]

Great great project. Love the colour. (drop the music!). :D

[@taco....]

Intro music is dope!

[@Bot_967]

Very good job guys. One thing tho. Please remove those ice blue silicon hosing and just use black to match it all. Would look so much cleaner

[@sf2372]

Awesome project lads...!!!!

[@JP-gd1ln]

This FD the 34 the Supra the type R is absolute dream garage add an s2000 & Altezza and it's my life long dream garage

[@DahakaCL]

Man i'm late to the this video, over slept a lot and COD MW2 caught me badly lmao. I love to see all fo this builds guys, but as a big fan of your content, i need to see the Celica finished and hitting the track, more than any build. Hopefully we can see the RX7 against the GTR on track as well :D

[@Ali-bz9gd]

Clean stuff, i'd post the prices of everything so when ppl get motivated to finish there projects, dont get shocked by the price.

[@speedacademy]

That would demotivate most haha!

[@joshb3623]

Hell ya gotta love Mazdas I own two but wish I owned one with a rotary they sound soo good I’d just deal with the not so reliable 🤣

[@Kroberter]

You will hit a wall with the 7670 if you try to turn up the boost past 16psi. Very cool to see y’all go through all the mods I’ve done to my FD. Hope it goes well for you. Curious to see if the stock fuel lines can support the power. Love the color! Good luck and Godspeed!

[@fisshuman]

That torque wrench sound like a bom
