It seems like whatever kit they make (because it has to be a kit if so many people do it) to LS swap an RX-7 comes with aftermarket fixed headlight modules. You know, those really tacky HID rigs that look like someone molded some plastic over some flashlights?

[@exerminator2000]

i saw a bumper sticker that said rotary engines aren't leaking oil, they're marking there territory.

[@thomasyates8561]

I bought this car new in 93, a year later sent it to Peter Ferrell in Virginia to be "reworked". End result was 600HP. Not sure what he charges now, but back then it was extremely expensive, hate think what they charge now, if they're still in business. BUT, they did make an incredible insanely fast RX7. I sold it a year later to an Arab, (I lived in PA,he might have been the only Arab i had ever seen in PA) I sold the car with ALL THE WARNINGS needed. He shrugged it off. He totaled the car 3 hours later and then tried to sue me in court claiming he didn't realize the car had been heavily modified. Thankfully I'm the type of guy that insisted on him signing off on the notice he was purchasing a legit racecar and not a stock RX-7. Anywho, we got to court, his attorney made the most ridiculous claims, in the end they wanted me to reimburse him for the totaled car, and pay for his extensive hospital stay and medical bills (apparently the tree he hit while airborne nearly killed him)....i didn't have an attorney, but I did have photos and the signed paperwork stating he was aware of what he was buying. The judge looked at the photos of the car and engine bay and immediately threw the case out. Pretty much stating it was ludicrous to assume the man did not have knowledge of what he bought simply based on the photos of the engine alone. I miss that car, although it was bright ass yellow. I'll never forget sitting at a redlight right after i got it back from Peter, light turned green, I let out the clutch and within a split second was facing the wrong way in the middle of the intersection. Butthole puckered, aint gonna lie. I should have kept it, i'll never have another car like that. RIP RX-7 You're not forgotten.

[@Elmom_]

Nah, just the FD.

[@HotboiEngineering]

Perfect. Absolutely perfect. I own and RX-7 and this sums up everything I have ever felt about this car. I bought it because it was odd and special, and it kicks me every time I mess up, but I always come back with a fresh mind and a problem to solve the hard way, the right way and the way it was supposed to be done.

[@DirceuCorsetti]

Even the goth girl?

[@valentinfilipov3300]

Dirceu Corsetti He already told you that it kicks him.

[@HotboiEngineering]

Dirceu Corsetti Well no. Mine is a GSL-SE and my girl was more of a classic, chill girl rather then a Goth girl. She loved old stuff and had an old jazz vinyl collection, and she loved my GSL.

[@HotboiEngineering]

Valentin Filipov the car, not the girl. It's a GSL, not a FD and every so often something small goes wrong and I have to fix it properly. One time the seat adjuster broke mid drive and whenever I braked the seat would move forward and I would have to really try hard not to press to hard on the brakes with the seat moving, but when I got back home I spent all night fixing it to the furthest position back and making it absolutely solid, as the only good seating position was with the seat all the way back and down.

"you get an rx-7 when your evo 9 is too reliable for you" perfect

[@ryanwreyford9039]

Once you accept the triangles into your heart it's a commitment for life. People tell you you're stupid and say your engine is one road trip from blowing an apex seal but we don't care. We drive rotaries because there is something about revving out a rotary that you just don't get from a piston car. yeah you can drop an ls engine in it and make more power and be more reliable but nothing is more satisfying than beating the hell out of a rotary!

[@IgoByaGo]

***** I think it is easier to replace apex seals than a timing belt on a CRX or any other car.

[@yadidimeanmaine]

IgoByaGo Uummmm, no.

[@IgoByaGo]

I had two Hondas that had their timing belts snap and destroy the upper half of the engine. The engines were removed and cleaned, then put back together and placed back in the cars. I didn't do the work and the cars were driven normally, not raced. Rotary engines only have like 14 moving parts, and replacing the apex seals, side seals, and springs isn't really hard. You just have to remove the engine to do it. I have 87k miles on my RX8 and compression is still good. I had another RX8 that had the same amount of miles when I had to sell it, and it's seals were good. I had worse luck with my Hondas and their timing belts, which sucked because they failed at 20k miles or so.

[@koopatroopa187]

***** "We drive rotaries because there is something about revving out a rotary that you just don't get from a piston car." You must have not driven a proper Honda.

before watching this i legitimately thought this would be a regular review. i subscribed 5 minutes in.

When does 'Ima tell ya anyway" come out on wax ? I'm serious

[@TKE228]

Regular Cars just became my favorite KZbin channel with one video. Hahaha I've been debating on buying an FD RX7 and then I found this video. Amazing.

[@shardshunt]

for thoes who have yet to become aware of why people like the rx7 here's a run down. -incredibly light for the power output. -very small rotating mass means you can have a very light clutch and the gears just slide into place. -you can... no, you must rev the s*** out of that thing because a rotary has very little power in the low end and it has twin turbo. -red line at 8k rpm means it screams. -even stock it rides like a well tuned sports car set up as a daily driver. and yes it is unreliable, fuel hungry and honestly not very fast(compared to a v8 in a rx7). but if you brought a rx7 because you want practical you have the wrong reasons. the rx7 is all about pure driving pleasure.

[@ProtonFilms_Mark]

The FD is one of my favourite cars of all time (thanks, Initial D), but I don't think I'd ever be able to bring myself to own one. The reason is I knew a guy who owned one and his ownership story is just a lot of maintenance. The car is rather reliable for everyday use, he never raced it, but like all 20 y/o enthusiasts he drove it hard. He drove it hard to school, he drove it hard for milk, he drove it hard back. And it's constant maintenance, cause if you don't maintain it, the car doesn't drive hard anymore. Not by the driver's standards anyway.

[@kwbassacoustic]

Mark Lee I feel like you have to enjoy doing that kind of stuff to own one of these cars.

[@dep211]

I do all those things with this car, drive to get groceries, to get gas, to the mall, to get gas again, and also during Autocross events. So far it's held up pretty well, although I think my diff bearings are on their way out. But that's a pretty normal thing for a higher mileage car regardless of rotary. If you take good care of them (like most things) you should expect average to modest maintenance. Driving a rotary "hard" (I.e. Revving it high frequently) is actually good for the overall health of the seals, whereas always putting around town can be more harmful overall. 👍

[@AE86ofMtAkina]

Mark Lee Huh, Initial D made me hate RX-7's for a bit.

[@koopatroopa187]

Mark Lee There's nothing wrong with owning an FD. They can be quite reliable. A friend of mine had a bridge port FD that was boosting 1.5 bar on a T04 60-1 for four years. The only reason that car stopped running was because a freeze plug rusted out. The only problem is that they're not idiot proof like a lot of popular cars are.

[@ProtonFilms_Mark]

koopatroopa187 Problem with japanese cars is they spoil us in that sense. Provided you don't slam it, a Civic will run forever and a half. Rotaries introduce a lot of compromise to the equation, hence why I think it didn't really catch on. I think it'd add an interesting touch to Back to the Future though, if DeLorean came through with the idea of a rotary in the DMC-12.

[@dep211]

Thanks! Wheels are Desmond Regamasters - Marquis Promada forged in Russia originally.

[@p4horror]

Deniz Pamukcu You bet. Sweet wheels. I looked them up and noticed they cost a grip though. LOL! Now I'm debating selling my 2000 Gibson 1960 Reissue Sun burst Les Paul so I can pursue some of those. Eh, it's not like I play guitar anyways. And I still have my Strat if I wanted to. Well thanks.

I like rotaries for an infinite amount of reasons. But the main one is that they can take any beating. I don't think any piston engine can survive at 9k+ rpms all day at the track. Just take care of it and it'll do whatever you want it to.

[@jameswest4853]

The brake booster bracing isn't exclusive to just rx-7s. I've done it on an 05 mustang, and it really helps to firm up the brake and clutch feel, especially under hard driving

Would love to know what you think of the 1980's FC3S Turbo II Rx7s as I happen to own one!

[@fishkluch]

I love the FD RX7. The design is so... simple yet smooth. I think its one of the best examples of 90s car styling. On another note. It looks like a big brother to the NA miata. Which is sweet.

[@araarathisyomama787]

I know this comment is 8 years old... If it wasn't for the pop lights, I would say much closer to NB. All the body shapes are there, especially with the hardtop on, just more subtle. It may be copium though, because I have an NB.

[@GTFour]

Man I want an RX but I don't think I can deal with all the 'life support' :(

[@luuk3213]

put a mazdaspeed 3 engine in.

[@GeoffreyVonbargen]

If you have the money to buy an RX7 you have enough money to buy and maintain an RX8. Or you can get the 7 anyway, it will be slightly more reliable, more baddass, and probably bankrupt you.

[@luuk3213]

@Covert Cam nope, I'll slide into it like I slide into your girls DM's (just joking around)

[@oldrrocr]

just get a non-turbo model. How fast do you need to go in a school zone?

Another one of those utterly timeless cars from Japan of the 90s. I saw one on the road recently and initially could not believe it was already over 20 years old. It's beautiful.

[@marshman033]

would it not be more than 300 horsepower at the crank on a good day taking it in current consideration a loss of 15% per 100? transition through the transmission and differential finally the wheels I'm guessing around 340hp? or being a rotary would imply a different calculation as to how much horsepower is being delivered to the wheels?
