@@mountedpatrolman maybe in your egocentric American bubble. I suggest you learn where the word comes from and it's actual pronunciation before talking nonsense.
Everytime I look at these episodes, I feel like I’m on a museum tour...but a museum tour thats actually interesting lol. I appreciate how the editing/production is done. Thanks for keeping us sane during lockdown. Be safe.
@@fpvillegas9084 That's true I remember in a car meet a guy parked his well tuned EG6 It was modified with very tasteful mods and he was playing Eurobeat songs on his estereo mostly from Initial D like Dancing your gonna be all around and secret love and other songs like from M.O.V.E and david rodgers and then 2 D-bags with automatic mustangs V6 started to call him ricer but his EG6 hatch was nice not mention under the hood of that EG6 had a B16A with ITB's with a nice N/A raw sound
@@giancarlolugo9586 I don't know why many white American car guys are like that. Unlike in the motorcycle scene where everybody accepts each other's ride no matter what brand. Maybe riders are real men, while car enthusiasts are mostly......
@@fpvillegas9084 Everybody should respect their cars and builds and we have to admit our complex I'm a JDM fanboy but I respect the Muscle cars and Euro car guys I don't know why a lot of people in the car community insults to each others
@@giancarlolugo9586 see this is how it should be im a jdm fan more then anything but i respect cars from any country for instance i love older audi quattros and porsche 911s from germany as well as rarer ferrari's and bmws so on and so forth you can find a car you would love from any country if you look hard enough i used to only not like cars from russia until i found out old lada's are a thing specifically lada rotary's that and older skoda rally cars since its basically a lan evo
This video must be archived for future generations long after we all pass away. It is a very detailed analysis of the RX-7, the most iconic Japanese car ever.
The RX-7 design is fantastic. A timeless design, beautiful even today. And over time it will get more and more appreciated, like the classic italian sportscars.
This is by far the best RX7 review / overview video I’ve ever seen. This is my dream car, I’m 10 minutes in and I feel like you’re introducing it to me for the first time with all these details. Awesome job man!
40:17 This is the kind of thing i am always relieved to hear, i hate the thought of a beautifully crafted car rotting away in someone's garage as a display piece. a car is meant to be driven, it is in my opinion an insult to the engineers and designers who worked to create a spectacular machine for their creation to become a 'bonsai' as you put it. no matter how rare or special a car is it deserves to be driven and enjoyed to the fullest.
Agreed, a driven car is better than one with low mileage that sat in a garage for 20 years. Rubber/hoses and gaskets need to go through regular heat cycles or things get brittle.
everybody has their own opinion. if people want to turn their cars into museum pieces then more power to them since they're preserving a piece of history.
nut that will break the car at some point. there should be like 2-3 examples well kept and maintained somewhere. as far as i know most manufacturers have little museums for that.
It's _one of the_ most beautiful looking Cars of the 90s. It doesn't have the most reliable engine under its hood but you gotta admit the the sound of the engine that their engine produces is really good! It's part of the RX7, whether you like it or not.
The best design out of Japan ever. FD + NSX + LFA = the dream Japanese trinity. The FD gauge cluster is amazing and reminds me of the masterpieces from the 50s and 60s sports cars using Jeager gauges. Cars like Lancia, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo etc. LOVE THEM!
I follow Emu for quite some time on instagram, and i saw that albo done and interview too, i love how she keeps the car stock and takes such good care of it. The car was intended to be driven on the road and not to be all the life on a garage, yes the value of the car will be lower but the felling of driving cant be exchainged for money. Great video as always!
The way the reviewer narrates and explains things makes it very easy to follow along despite the sheer amount of detailed information he gives about the car. This was an amazing in depth review and I can't wait to see more like this!
Fascinating vehicle and owner. This is truly an invaluable resource for those of those of us in the west with a fondness and appreciation for Japanese sports cars and engineering.
Yes! ever since i saw that photo on your instagram of Emu's rx7 ive been wanting to see this review for ages! Such a cool car thanks for another great video :D!
First i gotta say that he got me good saying that "this was a short review", 45 min long, short review. Now jokes aside, i freaking love this guy. The way he speaks, he explains. He really puts passion in this and you can see he really love cars, not some like supra and gtr fan boy, he actually love the cars. And a fun fact, i started talking with Emu on Instagram about 3 or 4 years ago and had no ideea she was a singer, a writer and a fashion design. Damn Emu girl, u crazy. Wifu material
I’m a Nissan man but I’m not gonna lie the RX 7 looks so damn good. Well done emu.m you have a killer ride. Thanks capt for another informative review! 😊
Not sure if he gets into the license plate, but for anyone wondering, the Kanji at the top says which prefecture the vehicle is from (sometimes the specific city if the owner wants) and the hiragana in the bottom-left is just random/chosen if available. The numbers are like our numbers. They also have plates where these characters light up in a blue/green colour.
Big fan of your works! Would love the same amount of details from your reviews like those magazines and information about development overseen during the cars conception for the Toyota MR-S, love all of your videos like these ! It may not be as advanced as the rx7 but I would love it since I don’t really see these kinds of reviews for any cars, all of your reviews are very in depth and entertaining! Thanks for translating to English especially lol, one of the more unique channels for cars!
Seriously, these are some of the best videos I've seen on YT. No unnecessary editing, no frustrating "influencer" personalities. Just people who are passionate and knowledgeable about cars. And I mean... *actually* knowledgeable about cars!! I can't tell you how many times I've watched videos on RU-vid, where the host spreads some misleading information to a huge audience. JDM Masters is so refreshing. Content that appeals to discerning car fanatics. Aside from old Hot Version episodes, this is my go-to source of Japanese car content on RU-vid.
Curves everywhere.... A very much attention to detail. 😍 & I agreed with the owner.. If you really love the car, then drive it.. No need to just leave it in your garage.. They meant to be drive.. Appreciate it, exprience it & create every memory with it.
Actually you're right, but that's why I love their faces over any other car brand's. You just can't resist on having that weird feeling when you look at an FC, FD, RX-8, Miata, Mazda 3, Furai, etc...
7:30 The Corvette C5 (which had popup headlights) was sold until 2004. I believe that makes it the "newest" car available with popup headlights. Still, not nearly as good looking or unique compared to the RX7.
The C5 is basically America's take on an RX7 (I know it's stupid the engine is totally different but I mean, look at it aethetically anyway). Better than nothing.. and still an amazing car.
Emu-san is so cool! How she feels about driving her car and customizing (or not customizing) her RX-7 is exactly how I feel about my 944... Take care of it, keep it stock, and most of all drive it!
This is a perfect review of this RX-7 FD3S especially seeing EMU’s RX-7 upclose and personal review! Her car condition is really PERFECTO! Beautiful car owner with this beautiful peace of classic JDM legend!
Great video. Her RX-7 is really nice. I like everything about it. She obviously has great taste. RX-7's were always my personal favorite import car. I've only owned one before. It was an FC model (1986, red, naturally aspirated, 5-speed manual) and I had it for 3 years in my early 20's. I did some mods to it including a full exhaust, shot ram air intake, Nology ignition setup, short throw shift kit, carbon fiber hood, and replaced the bulky, engine mounted fan with a radiator mounted electric one that saved weight and added another 10hp or so. After all was said and done I was only running around 330bhp on 93 octane, but with all the weight I saved from the carbon fiber hood, having no turbo, no rear seats (it actually came with them but they were useless so I took them out), no power stearing, no engine mounted fan and only having that tiny 1.3L engine, it was a lot faster than it looked. It was faster than the more common sports cars around my area at the time, which were mostly Mustang's, Camaro's, WRX's, Cobalt SS's, Grand Pre GTP's, Focus SHO's and stuff like that. It took off like a rocket and was easy to kick the rear end out and do controlled drifts with. Its handling was also great because of its near 50/50 weight distribution. It easily had the best driving experience of any car I've owned so far (including my current, modded 2010 WRX hatch). If anyone out there is on the fence about getting an RX-7, I say go for it. They are amazing cars and you'll learn a lot from them. Just do your homework before getting one because they are unique and there's a lot to know if you've never owned one.
I am so grateful for all your great work and that you show us the Japanese Masterpieces from your perspective. Quality and so detailed video!! 👏 your knowledge is impressive! Best regards from Sweden
8regi8 everything is from the books he had on hand and there was lots of errors throughout. He said the Eunos Cosmo had a smaller engine as an example.
RE its a difficult task to memorize all the details, he has a lot of time to master the knowledge. I do not know better yt channel in JDM topic in English
Fantastic video, I love your reviews and the detail you go into. However, a minor thing, it should be noted that both the Corvette C5 and Lotus Esprit actually ceased production in 2004. They were some of the final (if not, the very last) cars of the the 21st century featuring pop up headlights.
Nitpick: the C5 Corvette was produced through 2004 with popup headlights. I love how much time you spend showing off the lines of the car. It's hard to spend too much time staring at these cars.
all the video are very well made. As a fan of JDM I like the way of you introduce the cars, the history and all the small little pieces of details which it seldom delivered by others youtubers. This really deserve more views and likes. Keep up and hope there are more good contents coming, especially evo and STI haha as I own evo v and sti ver9 hawkeye oops.=P
I took a look at the owner's Instagram account and saw that the car really changed her life, she took it everywhere, maybe even for daily driving, it is really a passion
2:44 NSU Spider was the first production car in the world to be powered by a Wankel rotary engine, but Mazda Cosmo was the first production car with a 2-rotor Wankel engine
what an amazing review !!! I have never seen this channel before but I am so impressed by the depth of the analisys wow !!! You won yourself a new subscriber
Great video. Once again. Thank you for your reviews. A viewer from Portugal. P.S.: please next time try to review in a deep analysis the RX8. ONE of the most loved our hated machine's... Unfortunately in all countries. Hope to see that. Abraço
I don't know if you read that, but as an Austrian who is interested in Japan and its vehicles, (I own LS430, GS450h, MX6 4WS, Capella 4WD, Eunos 800) i try to watch everything on RU-vid that comes directly from Japan. Im on Rotary Meets very often here in Europe so im familiar with Rotarys. Even if there are often no subtitles and I don't understand anything, I like to look at things like Best Motoring or Hot Version. So i was Surprised that I didn't know your channel, so of course i immediately subscribed. Now I have a lot of videos to catch up and im also looking forward to new video material. Regards, Martin
Beautiful car. I seriously think it's one of the most beautiful cars ever made, only cars from the 60s when it was all about design and not aerodynamics can compete. And while the engine isn't that reliable there's nothing else like it, these unique characteristics just make you look past it's problems. And btw, this FD got very cool owner. I respect very much that she actually drives the car. These icons of the 90s deserve to be driven and seen on the streets. I'm a bit guilty of garage queening my cars, but i still try to take them for a ride from time to time.
I will never understand why manufacturers won't still make cars like these anymore, I know times change, but the quality and style of the actual cars will ever match these art pieces.
FD RX-7, the most beautiful modern Japanese classic hands-down!! Full support for Emu-chan, totally respect & appreciate her thoughts & comments regarding her awesome car! Thank you very, very much for sharing :)
I really need a JDM Masters review of the MK 3 supra. You are going so in depth into so many info it is super interesting. The MK3 supra is my dream JDM car, since it lives in the shadow of the MK4 i feel like there is not enough content on that car!
This guy is cooler than Han! 👊 I like how he teaches, you speak very clearly and its nice to see you have alot of knowledge and passion for jdm cars. I have a modified 98 2wd Toyota Tacoma. I love it and maybe you can also talk about some jdm mini trucks too. Aragato!!
13 plate wow.. whos car is that the emperors? lol new subscriber enjoying my time here so far, you are trouble my friend.. if i mess around to much in your feed i may end up with ap2 lool
I had a Vintage Red 1993 R1 Version. I regret selling it for my 2003 e46 M3. Beautiful car and it has the timeless looks to it. It was was “first sport Car” that I owned. “It fit me, like a glove”. Looking to buy one soon. The RX7 FD is the definition of perfect to me.
It was a fantastic review. Yes please do a detailed review between these 4 legendary JDM head to head (Stock Conditioned): • RX-7 Spirit R • Supra 2JZ • NSX R • Skyline GTR R32
I was totally waiting for you to cover the FD3S in your channel. I find your reviews very informative. I am also a proud owner of a white 94 FD that's been imported from japan. Keep up the good work !!!
NSU Wankel Spider was the first production car in 1963 with a rotary engine...the Mazda 110 S Cosmo Sport built from 1967-1972 was in fact the first with 2 rotors.
Excellent review. keep in the archive for the next generations. there should be more documentation like this of Mazda Rotary starting from the Cosmo 110S and all later models. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
Just a small thing I wanted to point out for fact's sake. The C5 Corvette, which was the last corvette model to have pop-up headlights ran until 2004, so technically that makes the Corvette the last production car to have pop-up headlights of the 21st century.
Love how detailed you are about it. I'm impressed you know so much about one. I've had 2 and wouldn't know or notice half this stuff if I hadn't owned them
When I was younger my family didn't have very much money. I was very fortunate when i got passed down a game cube from my cousin. One of the games that was with it was need for speed underground 2 . I used to rip around in the mazda rx8 because i loved the sound of the car and it handled really well. As the years went on i became more and more of a car guy but the rx8 was still always my dream car. Fast forward to 2019 and i was able to afford and purchase my dream car. A 2008 RX- 8 40th Anniversary that i named "Anna". Its the most amazing car and i love it, but just like every car guy it doesn't matter if you own your dream car theirs always a next dream car. I hope one day to afford an 99-02 spec RX7 once they become available in the states. I absolutely love the rotary engine and the excellent cars chassis that came with them. I am really sad to see them go. :(
Great review and explanation of what made this car so special. I have always loved the look of the FD3S. What you had to say about the technology and chassis design make me even want to Import one from Japan even more!
See, it's cool stuff like this here I wished we had gotten here in the states! Those lines are sexy, and we'll thought out! It screaming out to be driven! Vehicle's like this really makes me want to visit Japan just to check out the car scene. We get cool stuff here in the states, but it's nice to see something that you ordinarily aren't able to see riding around in our streets.
Only 500 rx7s were sold in '95. So, Mazda was like "screw it" and that's why we never got this, the Bathurst r or the spirit r, Same thing with the Nissan s14. We did it to ourselves.
@@bryancenterfitt7127 the emissions part is pretty dumb since there's DIESELS hovering around the us and blowing soot out of exhaust pipes like a train. So, polluting diesels are ok, but normal sports cars are not? That's a great idea
correction; the first rotary engined production car was the NSU Prinz, made in '59. and the reason behind the popularity of popups is because there was a height regulation for headlights, so sportscars had to have popups, otherwise the lights would be placed too low.
