We tried really hard to get the EVO 9 wagon onto the dyno this week but due to scheduling issues it didn’t happen so enjoy this video which is one of our favourite builds and we will be back next week with the conclusion of the Evo 9

@AnnexSuspensionGroup 13 дней назад

We appreciate your guys' hard work. I'm sure you all would have release the Evo video if you could have! Thanks for giving the audience something to hold us over until the next update!

This car was awesome

@mythos000000025 10 дней назад

Awesome transformation...question...can you get the rear inner panels for the Fd that came with the rear seats? I'm having a hell of a time trying to source some as they were never offered here in the states

@DaraghsTube 13 дней назад

Easily one of the nicest looking RX7’s out there, love that blue colour.

@silverbulletS197 13 дней назад

First off, Happy Fathers Day to Dave and Peter and every Dad in this chat. 2nd, thx for this vid! My dream JDM car being built back to life and in the Blue Mica paint as well! FLAWLESS guys!

@CrossWindsPat 13 дней назад

Awww man FD is one of the greatest looking cars of all time!

@mrbookends 13 дней назад

FD RX7 and the S2000...... the two most beautiful cars to come out of Japan design studios in the (more or less) modern era. Let's face it, you're never going to outshine the lines of old Datsuns or that 1st gen Celica 😉

@CrazyCat229 13 дней назад

NSX is pretty nice too. But yeah I love my fd more.

@BS-zg7dn 13 дней назад

Beautiful! That sound is amazing!

@mostlyuselessgarage 13 дней назад

Super-satisfying video for a legendary JDM beauty! Small detail, don't forget to duck the audio during your narration, as it was a bit hard to hear what Dave was saying. You guys are the best!

@jakemj03 13 дней назад

remember to dip the music when narrating

@MrZattack101 12 дней назад

Pretty close to my ideal FD street build. These wheels are magnificent and I'll have to pick up a set one day

@AutoVicioFML 13 дней назад

I love RX7 FD... But it's sad that you didn't make the most of it... they sold so quickly!!!

@kevinc31 13 дней назад

What a colour. Love these build guys. Keep it up and thanks.

@ClaytonYatescarenthusiast 13 дней назад

Ah man I'm leaving a comment for no other reason than to help your video performance cause I respect what you've built over the years!

@jeffreysalzman1497 12 дней назад

@gregcass12 13 дней назад

Lmao, I tried getting my gtr tuned by Radek and the dude just ghosted me.

@TML34 13 дней назад

The “dyno stand” looked a little dodgy tbh. Maybe it’s a good thing he ghosted you.

@gregcass12 13 дней назад

@@TML34 he’s a good tuner don’t get me wrong, I just don’t know why he suddenly stopped responding to me. I asked to kindly setup a Dyno day etc and how much his rates were. I wasn’t being pushy, and he was actually being helpful! oh well…

@SilverScarletSpider 13 дней назад

if he’s a good tuner then he wouldn’t ghost his customers 😂

@Meaty97 11 дней назад

Still love it. Love the build. Love the people involved. Thanks for the rerun boys

@fiercenet 11 дней назад

this is the blueprint for a perfect FD... sold my FC and FD back in 2006... one day i'll replace them and this will be the recipe.

@scorpiolexx 13 дней назад

The look of RX 7 is timeless and with a blue color...man it looks so great...even though I'm not a big fan of Rotary engines I wish I could have RX 7 in my garage in the future...

@markmartin7384 13 дней назад

Still my fav car you guys have built

@toddxhiggins 12 дней назад

One of my favourite cars you guys have built over the years. Absolutely gorgeous car!

@drewbreezy5854 13 дней назад

Nice car. Definitely a dream ride now.

@SxpremeXO 13 дней назад

She is a beaut! Great job, lads

@giorx5 13 дней назад

That blue color! Models RS 1998-2000 were the best looking FDs and one of the best ever sport car designs. Also, what a good taste in wheel design you have!

@Subversion121 13 дней назад

Definitely one of my favourite builds that you guys have done, shame that you had to let it go, but I know you guys will find another rotary one day!

@christophermartin4887 13 дней назад

That custom adapter harness is sooo satisfying

@bigmanbuilds 10 дней назад

I've ridden in an fd with similar power and response. It is wild! You really don't need a ton of power in those things to have a blast and stain some shorts 😂😂 awesome build! Sadly with cars, you have to move some on once they've been revived to make room for others

@cingkole7893 13 дней назад

ITS PERFECT!!! Great Job Guys!!!

@ProjectZGarage 9 дней назад

Love the color and great build.

@TankyMcStagger 13 дней назад

Absolute work of art 😍👌

@worldwearyposer 13 дней назад

so do we hate working on rotaries or not...getting mixed messages lol

@willmauney9609 13 дней назад

Once you're used to it, working on a rotary isn't that bad. There's not a lot to them, and the size allows easy access to accessories etc. On my FC RX7 the bay is arranged so it's very easy to pull/install/service the motor, but the FD may be similar to my friend's RX8 which has the motor so far back and down that it's frustrating to work on.

@CharlesChristena 12 дней назад

Congrats on getting it all together. Looks great!

@spitnshine8492 13 дней назад

Beautiful combo! Love it!

@BWTECH0521 5 дней назад

The design is timeless. Why can't they do this now? Everything looks angry

@that-pixel_guy7636 2 дня назад

Righttt, the cars that companies took a risk with turned out to be some of their most iconic. Like the Porsche 928, it was quirky, went off course from their usual design style and who knew it would have such a cult following. It’s definitely one of the most beautiful cars ever in my opinion. It was aggressive but still balanced that aggressiveness with those soft body lines that flowed towards the rear end. Just perfection.

Dangerous move pulling the trans drain plug before the fill… I had to pull the trans on my Mazda because the fill plugged was super seized. Car looks fantastic.

@jordanpanich 11 дней назад

@brianrobinson9979 13 дней назад

I wish I could afford another daily car so that I could fully strip my RX-8 down and get it fully redone and prepared for when I can afford to 3-Rotor swap it

Could you guys do a d series build?

@herosfall. 13 дней назад

i used to sell cars in the late 90s and early 2000 s and a solder here in tn traded one of these in freshly rebuilt with a twin turbo set up of course i called a friend and we went on a test drive coming around a corner at about 90 degrees boost creep comes in and sling shots us into a sign and a farmers fence and land . luckily a friend with a truck was able to pull us out there was damage to the rear so we went to my friends house and put some work in finally i get it back to the dealer and he asks did you sell it ...i said no and went into my office wondering if the minor damage was going to be noticeable luckily it was not and it sold 5 days later .

Sadly, it looks like the tune didn't fix the mid range response. Did you manage to figure out the issue?

@captainpym 12 дней назад

Did you connect the OEM dashboard wire harness to the Haltech ECU? If so, how did you achieve this? Fully custom or using an off the shelf adapter harness?

@DanielH3342 13 дней назад

It's weird to see an FD not lowered

Fans are present and mounted on the back side of the radiator

Your editor seems more interested in unnecessary booming loud music than anyone actually being able to hear what you're saying. Good move.

@jacquesc3166 13 дней назад

So you're basically cashing in on all the pre-COVID purchases and making content out of those? When does that run dry? For 13K CAD in this market today, you could still get a high mileage Z33 coupe and right your previous wrongs... no track racing a drift build this time, make it a dual track/drag car since A) you're all about mods & tuning nowadays and B) you didn't touch power mods ONE BIT on that red Z33 drift build. If Sacha is still your friend... do it?!??
