*Tucks rear tire* --> "It's not that slammed" - Jimmy O '23

[@dookiekouki-us]

Nah that’s valid, you can tuck tire and still be high. Depends a lot on wheel/tire/car.

[@campervanbug7658]

Tuck the hub

[@stylepoints.180]

Tucked tyre isn't slammed, tucked rim is

[@trashmouthhhh]

@@stylepoints.180neither is of the car ain’t on the ground

[@meffycodrin1853]

Imagine some thicker tires and a triple chrome half cage OH MY LORD that's so sweet Jimmy. You guys did amazing!

[@huckhuckhuck]

I was legit just about to type the EXACT same thing.

[@Justinhomii]

@TheBANDEMIC and a smaller front wheel

[@tomc5982]

Ooh triple chrome cage sounds nuts. Def needs meatier tires

[@connoisseuroftigolbitts]

Dj is touching himself somewhere while reading this

[@cobratuner]

Clean AF but needs a bit more sidewall under it.

[@Justinhomii]

100% wouldn't expect anything more from tire shine bros

[@pqcanci61]

And a roof wing

[@JamaicanCowboy]

It definitely needs a thicker tire.

[@ToxicReflexs]

She needs some more meat on her feet

[@ssantos856]

Facts

[@NLPHC]

love it. could use a little more sidewall imo

[@torbanmirsch]

It just needs bigger tires and it will be perfect. Awesome job, can’t wait to see it rip.

[@BrightEyes8513]

Can’t wait to see the FC with some tires on it. Thing is sick AF

[@NoClassic]

A taller tire would look much better in my opinion. The kit opens up the wheel opening so much it looks odd with the current overall diameter.

[@connoisseuroftigolbitts]

Did he sell the yellow FD?

[@RealUniqueBMX]

@@connoisseuroftigolbittsno they talked about it in the video and you can see it under the plastic in the backgrounf

[@SKOMPAS]

“Its so low, and that’s on 18’s, some people do this kit on 17’s” Jimmy it’s all about tire size! A 17 with some chunky tires will be bigger than 18’s with tiny stretched tires, the FC doesn’t need raised up just needs some slightly bigger tires!

[@mewsikjunkie]

I agree with Mike. Needs more tire!

[@rego1221]

The 18s are good, but I think they need more tire. They look so tiny in the front wheel wells with those tires.

[@TheOystei]

I would hands down use the stock turbo mirrors, they are close enough to not be that noticable of a difference, but they are larger, so that probably makes them better at.. you know, mirroring.

[@Pinned]

That Jetson's transition was nasty. Car looks so clean. Soft spot for FC's for sure!

[@Jon64scale]

Jimmy the FC RX7 turned out insane it looks so sick as all your cars do you have such a good eye for the style of your cars from the style to the fitment to the clean oem plus look and not over done it's perfection and the ghost like refrence between you and spoon killed me the shenanigans are always hilarious between you and the gang cant wait for the upcoming builds keep up the great work 👍

[@Isaiahuntz]

Good morning family🔥

[@tmerema]

On an FC the lenses above the turn signal are called "flash to pass" lenses. Allows you to flash the brights without waiting for the headlights to pop up.

[@afterburners3092]

FB Guys know the struggle

[@cutegamerboy]

“Should’ve put tires on it before you showed me” 💀 that was funny

[@joekinghondas3553]

Spoon has been one ur best moves jimmy this team work shows it makes the dreams work

[@shotbycoaster]

Happy birthday from a fellow Austin, Austin!!! So glad you've enjoyed the transition and elevated the boys' footage game🤝🫶

[@jeremyantunes7022]

The cherry on top has to be the rear window visor. Happy belated birthday Austin

[@171JUSTIN]

She needs some meat on the tires but FC's never look bad. Shouts to spoon, dude has crazy talent

[@grantm4400]

7:15 that spaceship to hip hop sound transition was awesome ✌️

[@jamieanderson1903]

Been watching for years and yet jimmy still amazes me from first ever video till now it's amazing how much effort not only you but your crew much love

[@joeym2675]

I LOVE IT!!! The kit SET IT OFF!!! The OE brackets on the kit was a PERFECT IDEA!!! It’s so clean and slick!!!! And it’s got the speed, sound and stance now it’s ready to carry the Big O!!! Great Job Guys!!!!!

[@Danger-Dave]

The FC is sweet, great job as usual Oaks Garage! Spoons attention to detail on fitting the kit is worth his pain. You could buy a couple of sheets of 1/2 in. white round shiny vinal stickers to cover all the unused bracket holes in the engine bay and if they color match good it will look shaved and filled, if they don't match you could paint them with the coded paint. I'm wondering how many viewers are old enough to get Austins, "Space car" soundbite....lol

[@mhare0]

The FC RX-7 looks really dope it looks like pure history and should be in a museum for JDM cars but if I had to change one thing I would go with 17's over 18s on it

[@No_Luk]

I got my FC in February this year and it’s been so wicked seeing you do a build on one! I’ve got a BN sports kit to fit and man I’ve learned some great tips off you guys! What a sick RX7 !!!

[@IvanGrogan]

looking around the shop now is insane from when I first started watching. it used to just be the red z that looked sick in the corner. now I see perfect fd’s, s15’s, silver moss, chaser. like gah damn Jimmy really built like the best collection of cars I stg

[@Octanen_]

Happy belated brithday Austin! Awesome work on the FC and not to mention the new PRO car you're gonna build, its gonna be epic. Think we are all here for the epic content!

[@nathanwilliam1922]

I so love that jimmy’s got a good couple of Puerto Ricans working for him. I mean that in the best way. Between spoon,Anthony and Steve and shit non Puerto Rican Brian. He’s in great hands. And shout out to all the guys. He surrounds himself with just good people. Jimmy is like the front man of the band.

[@cameronbeauregard2342]

The Fc Definitely became one of my favorite builds you have done! From the motor build to the final touches is beyond clean🙏🏼

[@weldingpapi]

White, always looks clean! Then you detail it and it’s blindingly bright!!

[@808jin]

Probably one of the sickest FC's I've seen. And this is your first one! Amazing work

[@evoskimo3273]

The FC content makes me want to work on my own FC!

[@justinklebieka5486]

😊 is even worse when he's going to..." not drive it" 😮

[@richardknapp9491]

Jimmy and spoon and the Vargas brothers really out did yourselves this car is one of my favorites it was well worth the wait for completion great job boys!!!

[@turn120]

Wheels - kit - OP mirrors Beautiful rx7🤟🏾

[@cingkole7893]

My fav build! Can't wait to see u drive it!

[@texaspowerman]

Has to be the best looking car he’s built so far. Brings back memories of my FB/ SA22 that set next to my TR-7 convertible. Long time ago.

[@joshgreen3394]

13:50 - 'you sure, this feels wrong', 'can you pull it out?'Haha😂. Puerto Rican Snow Job. 😎 Loll Space Ship came out so sick. Burn off a couple rubber bands, and slap on some, Blitz lip protecting, ride quality improving, and just necessary, 45-50 series sidewalls on that, bucket of bees, and let's here that 13B do it's wonder, and seal the deal, and have another ridiculous whip to play with before salt hits the Ro-Add, and 8 months of hibernation begins. Here in the North at least.... Good job ladies. Happy birthday Austin🎉

[@dylanlangheim05]

So clean 👌 love watching your videos and the way you explain everything better than most u and spoon have killed it

[@gimmethecarkeys]

FTP Flash To Pass lenses is what there are called on the front bumper lenses... looks beautiful Jimmy! 👌👌👌

[@MadCowsProductions1]

Dude Jim this thing looks absolutely immaculate! Nice work everyone involved in the build

[@carson2000_]

Happy belated Austin! Your camerawork has been such a huge contribution to the channel, and I'm excited to see the JZX goin sideways!

[@benjisantiago3343]

That fc is so clean thats one of my life goals a white turbo 2 has always been my dream car

[@devendahlberg559]

I’m so happy to watch your videos moments after they come out ❤ been around since before the shop fire and whatnot , but for like 2/3 months I wasn’t getting notifications even if they were on

[@efrengonzalezrlsh6637]

Love it guy’s 💯 hello from Catalina’s Coffee Bar!!

[@bonargescohen264]

After watching this amazing build come together, it makes me want to get into an FC or FD myself and I’m a Toyota guy at heart lol 😆. Your content is great as always!

[@seth8105]

Jim I rarely comment on vids but I just wanted to say this video made me absolutely fall in love with the FC RX7 chassis. Cannot wait to see what 2024 brings!

[@behradsays]

Happy birthday Austin! Your editing vibe inspires me with how I edit my videos for my channel. Thanks for helping people learn even if it’s indirect lol.

[@6SteamingBun9]

jimmy saying "its not that slammed" and i cant even see the top of the rear tire is funny asf. this is good stuff

[@BenjySparky]

Jimmy and gang y'all rock! Love the FC. Peace

[@blairastleford2413]

Amazing!!!! Also look into finding the corksport wing. It’s oem style but is about 2” taller than stock

[@NvSrAgE679]

It’s so good love the white. A little taller tire and a smidge higher.

[@williammendez5757]

Dame that’s a bad ass FC Love it. Can’t wait to see the rowdy FD build hell Yeah

[@Shiddyduzit]

Happy belated Austin, hope you had an awesome day

[@or33ly49]

Jimmy you got the best group with you! Keep it up yall 🙌🏼

[@elsonenriquez9373]

Clean!!! I like the Bomex mirrors and i recommend the RMagic ductail spoiler if you put anything on there!

[@paullongsden9413]

Awesome job it looks stunning

[@christophemesquita1293]

The FC, the K20 S14 and the black S15 are just on another level 🥵🥵hands down my favorite cars of your collection congrats!

[@RascoeGarage]

The look from the rear corner is hard. Great build.

[@andrewcallender1128]

Happy belated birthday Austin !!🎉 🎂 🥳

[@vitormarquesalves6028]

Jimmy this machine needs more rubber. Vargas is right, the tires look like rubber bands one size bigger in height and width and a little higher 👌.That is if you love this kit.🤣if you don't send it. It looks badass Anyway. Love from Portugal.✌️

[@tuisautaleilua133]

Respect brutha, love hearing about my home New Zealand being mentioned, to see you with a New Zealand shirt on in Japan is cool asf, rock on bro🤙💯

[@funktionchannel]

watching this build come together really inspires me to finish my FC

[@jhager214]

Loved this episode! I’ve always wanted an FC!

[@mikellewis2346]

I watch so much I called the ganadors right away! ❤

[@cingkole7893]

18:27 three rotor with a big turbo and fender exit! a lil NOS for the response.

[@jay8486]

You sir, built a true FC. The way it was done is how I needed to be done!

[@keithnewton1966]

After the third wreck in the FB back in the 90’s I planned on picking up a FC but life happened and never did. Nicely done👍

[@NutttyCompany]

That is a fantastic front bumper choice guys good job

[@r3drocket659]

The top hole in the bumper is for a straight through clear lens for a "passing light". The headlights stay level when they lower and whe you just flash your highbeams they shine through the clear lens. It took me a while to figure out wtf it was. The car is looking siiick tho!

[@Guapoo69]

that fc is the BEST looking fc i have ever seen, noice job jimmy

[@whoischris28]

Im about to pull the trigger on a chargespeed kit for my 03 wrx i cant wait

[@GSMMW]

Looks amazing!

[@ohnoesnoob]

Upper Lenses in the bumper are for flash to pass when the headlights are folded down. More common out of the United States. And yes if you flash the high beams when the headlights are in the down position they will still flash and the headlight bulb is pointed in the forward position when the headlight is up or down.

[@D4ngeresque]

One of the best looking cars ever made for sure.

[@jaredcross8752]

Happy birthday, Austin!

[@Garage533Ohio]

Once again spoon absolutely killed it with the kit fitment 🤌🤌🤌 Anthony matched the paint really really well too. I think it needs the taller wing like you said, the interior all put back together then maybe just a little different tire and boom best fc ever👌👌

[@rockyreignz2674]

100% one of the best builds on the channel

[@steveslot_botter83hollands80]

Brv an FC done right just hits like a sledge hammer! 😍😍😍

[@d_libby]

Been waiting so long for this

[@andrewbrinton1531]

Happy Birthday Austin!!!

[@shaunlatter5263]

There’s no words that car is just so good looking

[@taysz33]

love this rx7 series! i bought vert tails thinking they weren't any different than coupes, lesson learned but they still compliment better than s4

[@WilliamBulliment]

This is what I was waiting for 😁

[@semtrez2258]

It looks sick!

[@KevinADaniel]

Happy Belated Birthday, Austin 🎉

[@kenn1990]

So clean!!

[@alexvargas8195]

Just came back from buffing to this video for lunch. I see the progress Jimmy

[@Tonyloycano]

Dude knocked it out the freaking park broski!!!!!!!!!

[@npflorethon5936]

Happy belated birthday Austin!🎉

[@ckaile211]

dude that space sounds into that lofi was a great edit!

[@benwalker740]

Perfect, love this shape Rx.

[@timfitzgerald109]

Looks mint my Bro. The body kit, ride height & wheel combo are on point

[@lancenorthcott]

Happy birthday Austin. Mine was on the 27th

[@loganwitter3683]

Sheeeeeeeeeesh!!!! Dang jimmy you and the boys really outdid yourself on this one. Now if we can get aidens reaction. I love his reactions and enthusiasm he brings to the table

[@marquesioane4456]

Noce work fellas🤙🏾she's beautiful 😍

[@BurpleRX7]

America- single handedly keeping the chrome industry in business

[@OnlyDamp]

The fc looks so gangster!

[@shannacollins4741]

Yeah the 7 is looking badass now that you got the kit installed Jimmy but you gotta get out and drive the cars bro thats what I like to see you and the team building cars and using them ! Cant wait to see the 7 on the streets bro ! Happy belated birthday Austin ! We all know ganadors Spoon ganadors !

[@scottmdix]

i agree with vargas, the on;ly thing it needs is some bigger beef for those wheels, you want some soidewall, it would set it off
