FD RX7 POV- Cruise through Brisbane Streets

A Bridgeport Mazda FD Rx7... What's not to love, as it turns out, there's a lot more than meets the eye when you get behind the wheel of your dream car, Driving an Rx7 is daunting, fast, loud, and sometimes uncomfortable, and that's why we love them, Because RX7's are different, 13B's are special, and they are just amazing!

Wouldn’t mind more videos like this ;) These are so chill

Very odd that your speedometer fogs up when you put your foot down... lol

not sure if you were being sarcastic or not... but he was censoring the speedo so he cant get done for speeding

"Cooked itself like a rotisserie chicken" had me in stitches. What a description 🤣😂 Sweet car brother, hope to catch you round the M-downs

[@ZacBaldy]

Hahaha cheers bro 👌 appreciate it

[@dukedub]

@@ZacBaldy should use the 8 display on the FC commander. Pay attention to injector duty cycle and ignition timing splits (leading and trailing), also coolant temp lol. IAT a good one to watch as well, unless you have meth injection. If IAT too hot you run risk of air fuel igniting on it's own which is real bad.

[@dukedub]

@@ZacBaldy also don't run the car lower that 1/3 tank if you drive hard enough with low fuel you likely run the fuel pump dry and pop the engine

[@mrjingles77]

A bridgeported rotary is probably the best sound in the world.

[@peteanderson2533]

Don't overthink driving it, I have had my RE Capella for a few years now (using omp) and drive it like any other car, apart from giving it the odd squirt and letting it warm up nicely. Through the years (think mid '90s) I have had mates with various styles of rotaries and they were never fussy about how they drove them. They mostly had the same issue/s, broken gearbox, diff or axles, never engine issues. Back then of course, those were cheap to replace.

[@mattemeny2606]

Great to see rotars still on the road. My first car was an RX4 J-Port. Keep it it up mate

[@eboutdooredits2660]

Havent watched zab baldy in probably 6-8months and he's changed a lot. Has a rx7 and isn't as shy and quiet as before its a good change.

[@conservativesniperhunter7439]

Good on ya Zacster , all the hard work is done , now it’s time to get out on the roads this winter and enjoy the yourself .

[@zlorpp5553]

Loved this style of vid man! Need more like it!!

Haven't watched the channel in awhile. It's great to see it running so well mate, congrats 👍 definitely do more of these POV vids, maybe do a run up the coast and open her up abit 🤙

[@jt87_]

Sounds so good!

[@apsallpartsolutions7312]

Yes engine braking is fine. DRIVE it like a normal car. Had rotaries for 30yr.. still race one today.

[@AuX23A]

I read somewhere that the lining of the rotor housings are porous, thus retaining quite a bit of oil when you're not directly injecting it via. pre-mixed fuel or the OMP. ... I daily an 8 and have owned an FD for quite a few years, always engine braked without issues. /shrug

[@Burchie_]

would you recommend premixing even when you have an omp

[@AuX23A]

@@Burchie_ 100%, .5 oz per gallon if I'm rocking an OMP. Extra lubrication, some factory OMPs suck (s1 RX8) plus you can't easily tell if it's not functioning until it's too late, might save you an engine.

[@raffaeltroost2660]

Dude I would love to see this RX-7 beast in person honestly looks amazing, is my dream car as well. Have lots questions about the car would be dope to go for a cruise with u. Live in griffin saw u legit drive past my house. Anyways good vid bud keep up the content

[@user-em3qg3vy4j]

When i first watched this video i thought cruising near Brisbane City. Then it turns out you literally drove 4 mins near to where i live hahaha near costco. i subbed for sure!

Thats the nicest rx7 ive ever seen

Gonna be a good one ☝️

[@BlitzFD7]

I cant wait till im old enough to drive one

[@mata.miguel]

I'm a simple man. I see a cruise video with a RX7, I put my headphones on max volume xD

[@pj6857]

Rotary life is rebuilds and side of the road park ups waiting for parts. Fun when they run. What people say about breaking them is some what true but then again you can break any engine in a heart beat if you wanted to.

[@Mr.K_______]

didnt know you worked in north lakes legit right round the corner from mine. beautiful rx7

[@danielbradshaw1624]

love the car zac

[@dylanmoore8666]

watching this video and seeing that you work down the road from my gym is awesome hahahaha, i'll be looking out for ya next time im around in my MX5! :)

[@Ivanzter]

Rx-8 here😎

[@Joolz1982]

Nice vid good to hear about how RX7 drives, I hope to drive one in the future always wonder how it feels compared to 2017MY GT86 handling and speed comparison.

[@ur2slob724]

Handling is similar, power the 86 are dog slow even a Camry will our drag it

[@Johan-ud8qd]

My dream car💛

[@d1scopotato222]

I deciphered the lovely braps and they translate to "Zac. I. Need. An. RE. Amemiya. Wide. Body. Kit. Now". Do it Zac do it!

[@MrMeoow91]

As long as OMP is in the car, should be no problem engine *braking*.

[@metalinvalidmatt]

yeah, don't remove OMP and premix only, that then means you shouldn't engine brake (unless decel fuel cut is disabled, which has it's own issues), but yeah with OMP, no worries.

[@VenomHadesOfficial]

More vids like this pls 🤩

[@anonymoususer4534]

Nice dude didn’t know you worked in North Lakes right round the corner from mine haha need to come see you on smoko break

[@crunchymunchymancookie1701]

Bri the man has a RX7 AND a R33. Living the dream bro :)

[@yo-nq9wr]

isnt that an r32

[@mikemckinlay6251]

I owned a RX4 sedan in NZ for years and Rotary's are the BEST, you can drive them like a normal car but, in saying that there is things you can do with a rotary you ca not do with a conventional car. Use your motor to aid in your braking as it wont do any damage to your car ( I used to use the compression of my motor for braking and as a normal part of driving as i did my brakes, also you can drive along like you can in any other car however if you need to access the power of the car get used to dropping down to lower gears and revving it up. When you have your rotary staged up and you get that wah wah wah sound like you have a lumpy cam you will need to find the rev as to drive along on the Wah wah wah will make the ride uncomfortable. keep in mind these motors on a bench blow up at around 32000 revs, use the power. These cars loved to be driven and love to be worked, driving like a grandad will create more issues than giving it the gas. I would love to own another rotary, they are the best!!! Hope this helps mate

[@Brendan.Wheatley]

The first thing I picked up on this video was your lack of engine braking, I find myself doing the same with mine, purely for the fact that, as we know, rotors love a drink and in combination with pre mix, you sort of think to yourself, if I engine brake, I'll starve the engine of lubrication! Who knows for sure, I'm yet to find out! Cheers for sharing mate...

[@metalinvalidmatt]

that's why it's (almost) always a better idea to keep the OMP and only premix a bit on top of that if necissary - sure do a OMP seperate reservoir mod if you like, but keep the OMP, mazda didn't put it there for no reason that's for sure

[@demons21100]

damn, a skyline and a rx7, pretty crazy

[@jono.sv6738]

Gosh its like the vibrations from the rotary blurs out the cluster when it makes some noise haha.

Sick car mate I was planning to get another one

[@Mezzarino]

yessssss

[@anuaridris966]

If you have the factory OMP still connected, you're fine. If you're still worried just add 100ml of 2 stroke oil to a full tank. If you're STILL worried, just blip the throttle on the longer engine brakes

i hope one day i see u driving around northlakes omg aha would be a dream to meet u and see the fd

[@leojohnwayne1422]

Why does it make that noise?

[@sebbyyz6833]

@@leojohnwayne1422 im probably a bit late to comment on this, but the reason why it makes that noise is because he ported the engine. There's lots of ways to port the engine, the one that gives it that brap noise is for the most part a brideport. You can look up what a brigdeport is:)

hi, how is it the idling? can see u keep on free gear ,cause im having same set up like your i think,v mount bridge port power fc , the time traffic jam not that comfort to drive, any idea to settle it? by the way nice video really ...

You forgot to give it a chop under the bridge and a lazy 2nd gear at the port 👍🏼

RX7 is my dream car too.. but hard to find a left wheel drive and too expensive for me.. the body shape is a first reason what i love.. the turbo sound so sick of me..haha.. why yours no wing..?

[@jurajokasa834]

it can handle gentle engine breaking but not like you cruise in 5th on highway then shove 3rd in there and not put a bit gas on it ....
