The FD Mazda RX-7 Is Quick, Even By Today's Standards | DriveHub

[@tommymorgan5250]

One of my absolute dream cars! I can't believe you get to drive all this stuff

[@DriveHub]

Now it might be one of mine too 🤤

[@zebrasgrave9354]

literally my dream car bro ill work hard as much jobs as i can to own one of these in future

[@Spazza42]

RIP Headphone users. Whatever mic you’re using for this video, it’s awful, to the point it makes this hard to watch....

[@thedriverscorner]

Where did you find one that wasn’t completely trashed??? Hahah. I’d like to have one..

[@DriveHub]

They are few and far between that’s for sure!

[@RETMTM]

@@DriveHub Yes, especially mine. The final RX-7 sold in Australia 🇦🇺

[@verdict1163]

So many have been ruined with body kits, track car parts, swaps, huge wheels, unstreetable engine mods, etc.

[@arrivendrive6831]

I am blessed to have one. I bought it in 1998 and held on to it. It is such a special car to drive. There are often clean models up for sale on the rx7 forum

[@thedriverscorner]

@@arrivendrive6831 on e day soon!

[@billnasburg1361]

The RX7 was a great car and they do rev high. If you like that type of car, check out a 2002 Honda S2000 (AP1) they rev to 9k. It is made for smaller people, but once behind the wheel and with the great build quality I guarantee you will want one. I have one and a 94 Vette and like them both

[@DuBstep115]

Only difference is C4 vette can be bought with change you get from 20 bucks after buying a six pack. RX7 costs like 10k when it's broken down and 30k when in ok condition. Mint ones are like 50k, useless car in 2020 because of the price imo.

[@DonutisTrash]

@@DuBstep115 Late to the party, but you can certainly find a decent one in the $20k's. $50k going rate will never happen for an FD... Unless it's a late model RZ or Spirit R. As an owner, I wish that was true.

[@DuBstep115]

@@DonutisTrash www.tc-v.com/used_car_smart/mazda/rx-7/?wipn=0&wirc=0&wfrc=0&so=2 There are more cars above 30k than under it

[@DonutisTrash]

@@DuBstep115 Might just be a location diff for us then(I’m in USA)... I find a ton in the sub $30k range.

[@Tysmelo6]

Bought mine fully built with 80k miles in December of 2020 for 22,500. Full interior street car. Billet single. Bridged engine

[@andytap560]

Ive had 6 of these,from a bone stock mint black twin in 2005 to my current 10 year red single(gt35r streetport) and i love it.they are at their best standard or on a small single,i had mine on a t88 and bridgeport for a year and hated it.

[@That_Guy_Izzy]

Sick video as always bro! How you manage to fit in there is impressive!

[@camaro3gen]

This video reminds me why I bought my 1989 Mazda MX6-GT.

[@DriveHub]

Very nice!

[@danielc1417]

2 completely different cars.

[@camaro3gen]

@@danielc1417 Yeah the MX6 is the better car forsure.

[@danielc1417]

@@camaro3gen your original comment is stupid. That's like saying I bought an Accord because of the NsX.

[@camaro3gen]

@@danielc1417 The MX6-GT was the fastest Mazda you could buy at the time.

My dream car

[@DriveHub]

Fantastic car!

[@maxwillett1212]

Another great video!

[@DriveHub]

Thanks buddy!!! 🤙🤙🤙

[@nextlevelmobiledetailingllc]

I believe the turbos are the same between the US spec and JDM spec. People usually go with the 1999 JDM FD twin turbos as an upgrade for the later models.

[@slcbuilds3687]

Great video and a good review. However the sequential turbo does not consit of a smaller and larger turbo. Both are actually the same size, just all the exhaust is only routed through one turbo until about 4000 rpm when the other comes online utilizing both turbos. Its that system in these cars that makes the rats nest of vaccun lines a necessity to function.

[@7sins979]

Usdm and jdm turbos are the same. The series 8 rx7 in japan came with a set of larger turbos for the rs and higher trim levels. That is 1998 to 2002.

[@bobl8687]

Hey, just past you on the highway in front of the mall of NH. I was in the black 4dr JK. Nice lit up Xmas tree on the vette!

[@neoanderson7]

Just came across this. It’s an excellent example of a super stock FD. Surprised it’s been kept so stock looking for so long. 👏🏻 Would definitely fetch a pretty penny. Well worth it if it’s truly an R1 model. 👍🏻 I’ve had mine for 23yrs now. Keep Rotaxing!! 👏🏻😎

[@bignoisemotors3218]

Awesome Review 👍 My Rx7 has 43k on the clock 😎👊

[@3toedSloth75]

"No mods" ... except you can see the drilled+slotted rotors which the car didn't come with. So at least, the brakes.

[@DonutisTrash]

They're still stock brakes. D+S rotors is def not any real upgrade.

[@EnzedDev]

theres no way im selling mine , gonna go for 60k + in a few years

[@SlvrWlf88]

mazdaspeed 3,Protégé 5, Rx 6,7 8....those were good times

Always my fav car

Beautiful car

[@christopheranderson3694]

Holy crap, please level your audio. Quiet at some points, deafening at others.

[@steve-7210]

Audio is all over the place in volume

[@lagunacorona]

theres like about 5k now, and maybe like 500 bone stock, everything else is hacked up

[@DriveHub]

Forreal man it’s a shame there diminishing!

[@zebrasgrave9354]

5k in usa

[@lagunacorona]

@@zebrasgrave9354 yup but most of them are hacked, not stock anymore, single turbo, salvaged, etc. Most were wrecked. They are extremely light cars and the chassis is not meant to handle too much horsepower for grip racing.

[@zebrasgrave9354]

@@lagunacorona there was this guy named tsuchi on youtube he legit got an fd for 11k like how lucky you have to be and it was pretty clean no damage

[@lagunacorona]

Ha ha, my RX-8 rev limiter at 9500

[@TheOldPCTech]

Microphone issues?

[@DriveHub]

Unfortunately yes. I am in a serious need to update my equipment.

[@TheOldPCTech]

I feel for you... Didn’t the camera / microphone damage happen a short while ago while you were filming? Keep us posted on the Vette by the way 😉.

[@scottsmith6571]

Just dyno a stock one easy

[@taylorc2542]

Thank you for not ricing this car.

[@greddy_v2]

terrible audio

[@scottsmith6571]

It has no torque

[@HarveyEThornes]

AUDIO SUCK

[@DuBstep115]

Well yes, but actually no Also literally every non American car from 90s revs to 8000 rpm that's nothing special, most civics and few toyotas go well beyond to 8450rpm. Lots of small cars like abarth or bmws e46 even a few saloon cars have over 8k rev limits.
