MAZDA FD RX7 QUICK BUILD - EP 3

[@str3atwarrior]

Thanks for mentioning me in the cluster repair guys! You made my day!

[@dimitrismanavis9081]

I like the fact that you show all the process, including what didn't go well with it, most channels just show the end result. The bad staff are part of the whole thing and make the end ressult more enjoyable, so I appreciate that even if the video has to be a bit longer!

[@DahakaCL]

I haven't finished the whole video, but i bet the wheels gonna nail it 10000%, because this is the only channel in the whole Internet that never miss a good match between wheels and cars.

[@RICARD01]

Couldn't have been more wrong. Lol.

[@Rx7_T51R]

Lies lies lies ..

[@ChrisHale0629]

Love these quick and down to earth builds.

[@ianm432]

I like cleaning up the caliper pins by putting them in the drill and holding them with scotchbrite. Quick and easy!

[@mr.cangieter8758]

I see Connie is home again. I've missed her quite dearly.

[@mmavcanuck]

Yeah, sucks that street Bandito has been a dead channel for months.

[@cheesepizza87]

@@mmavcanuck I imagine real life commitments will of taken priority, I don’t think the channel pays for itself 🤷🏽

[@1dickycat]

The bandito boys did post up a story on their IG the other day of videos being edited with stay tuned in the caption.. so hopefully soon 🤞

[@mrphiscal]

I need a time stamp plz and thanks i missed it @13:57

[@mmavcanuck]

@@cheesepizza87 they had planned on doing KZbin full time but I guess that unfortunately didn’t pan out. I’m guessing the fe32 was a bit too ambitious. Hopefully they come back semi-regularly

[@jrbuch]

I appreciate that you show the wins and fails. This is the true process of a build. Not everything goes straight-forward.

[@odronnell]

What I love about this channel is there is no cherry picking all the good and pretending the bad doesn’t happen like it’s SO easy to do. If knowledgeable professionals with all the tools available to them encounter problems and unforeseen hiccups, it give us driveway DIY guys who encounter a couple curveballs here and there, some positive perspective that even if we do everything right, sometimes it just goes sideways. 😂

[@EononOfficial]

Amazing build! We are delighted that the Eonon CarPlay car stereo is available as part of its upgrade. Great job! 👍

[@kenecchi]

IMO, you all have the nicest car collection on KZbin. FD looks beautiful, good luck sorting out the oil leak.

[@FernandoSosaIndustries]

I love to see how u guys find all these local and lesser known folks for all the finishing details… ac vent, seat bracket, gauge repair person, etc. Do like the new denser videos too 👍🏼

[@ofthenearfuture]

What a beauty, the perfect colour wheels for a 99 spec IBM build. This is such an awesome clean build, especially for a quick series, it turned out amazing! Other than the oil leak haha, quite an unfortunate spot... But can't wait to see it on the street!

[@Dirtyz1234]

Konig been killing it with their flow formed wheels. Really want a set of Hypergrams for my E46.

[@grad0n]

My buddy is running 18x10.5” et22 apex fl-5s with 285/30s on his e46 m3. They look great!

[@RICARD01]

I agree....but these kinda suck on this RX7

[@got556]

I’ve been thinking of getting a set for my zhp sedan. Konig is really pushing their marketing with all the KZbinrs and they’re getting some designs out there that are worth running

[@elementmaniac]

Been wztching for a loooong time and I'd like to say that I'd rather have slower builds where you DON'T reuse cotter pins on ball joints, than these "quick" 4 ep builds just for the sake of building a jdm car and keeping people entertained. Just my opinion, I still love what you guys do though and always have 😊

[@mikeh1441]

Nice car and good parts. Would have been nice to see this car get the same attention to detail as the supra. Please clean up the hubs and under side!! But I'm a rotary guy so a bit biased, these cars deserve all the love.

[@Armor3dprinting]

Just gonna say the no music/talking at 6:13 was so satisfying great work guys!

[@ImOnlyaMAN88]

Glad u guys show everyone the ups and downs of building, it’s not all smooth sailing.

[@dangerousdream4957]

Not going to lie I miss the in depth videos! But I love the car and you guys are doing a great job!

[@giorx5]

You managed to upgrade a legend and elevate it in new heights. Great job there guys! Cannot wait for the video where you drive it on street and racetrack.

[@samoolol]

Loving this builds honesty of issues found, even the challenges with the vmount kit fitment with battery etc. As an FD owner myself its sometikes hard to decide which parts to go as everyone sells the dream.

[@got556]

You guys always do the cleanest, tastefully done builds. This thing is perfect, from paint, to conservative wheel choice, and great stance. Still loved your M5 build (zhp owner) Think you guys should do a GC8 build…(and two GD’s and a GC sitting in the driveway lol)

[@MarkAnthony-rb7fp]

These builds just keep getting top notch! All of them are so clean and gone through in every aspect. Great work as always.

[@kc510]

Man, I hate doing stuff twice but she’s alive. Cool build, guys.

[@theo9436]

Having the big 3, Japanese 90s sports sedans is not something too many people can say. Awesome!

[@il_calabresi8672]

great work boys a few hiccups on the way of this journey but you both showed great spirit and positive attitude.. the fun of rotary life.. but this car will be by far one your most favourite car to own..

[@jdmfreak22]

Followed Seamus and his friends since the Honda Tech days.

[@TailoredChassisSolutions]

🫡

[@antbymcnair4297]

The RX-7 looks SOOO GOOD! Great job guys. And, Connie Celeeka in the background! Dang, bout time!

[@158158cow]

Might be the best looking FD out there. That blue is orgasmic

[@EddyEP2]

The longer I look at the car, the more I fall in love with the colour, the blue just compliments the shape of the car perfectly😍 awesome wheels as well, really enjoyed the episode, it will be a long wait untill next saturday😢

[@kc510]

I recently saw a yellow one at a cars and coffee and was thinking “meh, these aren’t that cool” but this blue is beautiful.

[@schnell9364]

"not JDM sized". I know the feeling! Nice build, glad the oil leak wasn't too much of a pita. Looking forward to the dyno!

[@jdmfreak22]

You guys ALWAYS nail the stance/fitment on your builds =)

[@chrishuyler3580]

It's OK to show a bit of emotion when stuff like that happens. You did well to pull it together in an hour and get back to work. I would have sulked for a few days. Pleasant surprise hearing Seamus on the phone, he tuned my RX7 a few years ago.

[@tylerhackman6832]

Wheels are perfection. They almost feel period correct and I love that. Who cares if they aren’t they most aggressive fitment.

[@DJ_Driven]

Turned out awesome! Love the color. Now you just need to do some under chassis cleanup with some attention to detail refresh.

[@hunterphille1280]

That is a beautiful FD! I love the blue, the wheels and the hood! I'd love to have this car!

[@karlmourad8971]

Best channel on KZbin. Well done, been a watcher for years.. Helped me heaps with cars and I honestly have picked up heaps of tips, tricks and advice. #innocentmicablue ftw!

[@davidleduc9149]

ive been waiting on the rx7 build for years, i remember watching the rotary build and loved it!

[@arrivendrive6831]

Just an FYI suspension bushings on Fds are usually pretty worn by 60 thousand miles. A good set of Superpro bushings make a great difference.

[@yogondie]

Was about to say the same thing.

[@arrivendrive6831]

@@yogondie You are obviously a Fd owner or was in the past. Experience with these cars goes a long way. Brap on

[@starkyslp16]

Looks great! Love the sporty street driver builds that aren't way over the top. More realistic for the majority of us who don't have $100k+ JDM classics or dedicated track cars.

[@Aut0anarchist]

*reveals finished RX7* can't stop staring at Connie 😍😍😍

[@maximumattackrallying]

Love this cars and love what you guys do, but I would have to paint that red caliper red to match the front 😂

[@AaronUnknownPerformance]

Fantastic job guys 👏🏻

[@y.b.-]

I usually don't comment on wheels as that is up to personal taste, but those Konigs look perfect on an FD... Can't blame you either for not reffurbishing the calipers, but pretty sure that you guys will at least giv eem some TLC in coming episodes and who knows, maybe even painting the rear one to at least match the fronts

[@ejmarkle60]

Can't wait to see the Celica get finished. The RX7 came out great

[@Kurosaki990Ichigo]

If i was living in Canadia i would buy this car of you in a heart beat. Man your choice of parts is spot on.

[@apollyon2578]

That's a really good looking car. You guys should get a nice photo shoot in with the RX7, Supra, and Skyline while you still have them all.

[@brentleone8340]

Beautiful car this was a cool quick series and love the channel and appreciate how you guys explain everything can't wait for the next series. Great job guys

[@kurtwubbels3969]

3D sipes! Macro blocks! Living in the future!

[@fabianmendoza61]

Those heliograms look sick!

[@adamtench4447]

This car looks amazing. You've done a cracking job

[@arrivendrive6831]

Very nice build and I really like the direction and purpose of the build. Brap on

[@raddadtv2010]

Damn that’s a good wheel choice. Car looks absolute 🔥 guys.

[@cupotrout534]

Super nice body style. Might be my favorite. Love the blue paint and grey wheels are spot on.

[@fcorivers]

This might be the first time in this channel that the word "affordable" was used in the sense that normal ppl use it with the Buddy Club seats 😂 when Pete said affordable I thought it would be a $2000 seat

[@LukeySomeWhere]

What a beauty, you guys deffo need to do a big brake kit on the front, fresh paint on the body work and the calipers are twitching OCD 😂

[@BareFacedDriver]

Omg! I can't believe you put new discs on without cleaning the hub mating surface! Killed me 😂.

[@aamonfarr1597]

literally my favourite seat is that p1. cant waiiit to see it in the car

[@rabbon-ithegenesis7169]

Man the RX 7 has got to be the best looking car of it's era and rivals modern day design as well. Just screens real Japanese car.

[@pault2417]

Looks amazing boys, Rims are on point

[@colinmcdonell5034]

Can't wait to see dyno numbers...beautiful build guys.

[@frun4]

I am going to need a set of those heliograms for my ma70. I have been drooling over them since they came out

[@2JZAlex]

nice wheels, color looks great and offset pretty good on the RX-7.

[@moereefer]

sweet look like everything you guys done.👍. the oil pan sucks but now it’s ready to shredded

[@Kiwi_Voodoo]

Absolute FD perfection!!! the perfect look for an FD in the best colour for it also!!! 😍

[@capnthepeafarmer]

I went through the same tight interior constraints of the RX7 family. It's a problem across all generations. I ended up going with a Tillett B5 carbon seat without pads and it is by far the BEST seat I've had in any of my cars. It fits me so well and and holds you in during a track day. And it's about the lowest seat on the market that I had to custom make my own adapters. Only problem it's VERY pricy, at about $1400 per seat. But for me, it's worth every penny for that comfort and headroom.

[@Beakz_]

Can't believe you went up Angeles Crest and I didn't see you! I legit live just off of that road!

[@friguy4444]

Yea the Mazda is incredible! It's a dream car for many of us and one of is not the most beautiful car since the Jag E series. BUT 1973-74 CELICA White in the Background??? COME ONE MAN!!!! YEA!

[@juffurey]

Man I love that paint color.

[@pFbSpecV]

It’s not as loud as I expected it to sound! But dang what a amazing looking FD!

[@aroundomaha]

Beautiful build!

[@neoanderson7]

Really hope you have all the front undertray and ducting installed for the final build 😉 Really suck’s you had the missing oil plugs. Wasn’t too bad of a repair, but 1 I’m sure you didn’t have to do. 👍🏻 Finding proper seats for the FD is always a chore. You could try some Sparcos or Recaros. 👍🏻

[@Bted__ever]

I love this new choice of videos you guys are doing

[@imSchwaggy]

u guys should definitely look into moving to a warm place during the winter so you can do car things on the off season. im sure its viable with such a large following, and will definitely grow your following since youd likely be collaborating with other youtubers.

[@TheMrtMts]

Connie is back😮

[@1dickycat]

I see Connie back there!! 😍😍

[@omr0138]

Ahh Connie is back!!! Can't wait !

[@ckhfung]

Make a mini series on Alignment and corner balancing!!

[@markmartin7384]

Damn it looks good, might have to paint my corvette that colour

[@hobbawobba]

Lovin' every episode here my bro's!

[@mm8436]

This is my second favorite jdm car. NSX, Rx7, and then Supra.

[@denisfmd5023]

Loved to see 8th gen civic si build

[@93455Driver]

32 unread messages! My OCD could not handle that. Great build, was sorry to see the oil leak since the engine sounded so good already.

[@anthonyrobitaille8963]

A speed academy video on my birthday! F**k yeah!

[@justinEDIBLE4]

Love this channel and builds! But Pete let you put those rotors on without cleaning the hubs? Come on Pete! Us with OCD need you to speak for us! EDIT: I made this comment very early in the video when you were working on the front passenger corner. I jumped the gun cause you did clean up the rear passenger hub. Please forgive me Internet.

[@38tech]

That color combo is damn near perfect!!! *Chef's 💋

[@darrenmattiske5310]

The FD is an extremely good looking car, maybe the best looking car you have in the shop , well, until the Celica is finished.

[@joshb3623]

Gotta love Mazdas never have owned any RX but I’ve got a regular 3 as a daily and a speed3 as my fun car and man they’re not bad vehicles at all

[@derekyam1805]

I was screaming, "clean the hubs when you put new rotors" lmao

[@kbru78]

Been waiting on this one all morning 😉

[@shanebaxter3868]

Love the builds!! Just one observation though. I noticed that you went ahead and torque the suspension before the car sat on its own weight. This damages the bushings very quickly. Cheers!

[@speedacademy]

You didnt see the part where we raised the suspension to ride height before torquing it all. Worry not we are not that amateur.

[@brodieandre]

Such a Beautiful Chassis

[@arrivendrive6831]

If you dont fit well there is a little trick which requires removing a little of the cusion in the seat. This can give you headroom and leg room. Looking forward to seeing on the dyno and on the track. Brap on

[@naturalsr405]

Ahh that blue rocks!

[@FrenchyAU]

ngl, i actually kinda like the look of the mazda 3 wheels on the rx-7, they look almost OEM in a good way, i think they just needed a real good clean or maybe a fresh coat of paint and some fresh rubber

[@bighomieJ5X]

Next time you guys are in the Los Angeles area please give us a heads up 😁😁

[@dirtyharrie]

Things were getting hot and heavy with the beauty shots 😂

[@galiniliev6760]

Why didn't you clean the front wheel hub where the disk sits? I admire your videos and I salute you for the work done!

[@mariosnikolaou5212]

Connie at its home finally.

[@theassenz]

Post the vids driving the nsx and g80 m3. Those are nice to see.

[@justamar]

wtf ive been watching this channel for years now and realized i was not subscribed, double check!
