RX7 SERIES 1 BARN FIND (First Start In 10 Years!) 

What should I do with this car? Hit me with your ideas!

The Tacho is a Volt metre before it starts. Hence the 2000rpm was actually 11V or so

I just bought a 1980 RX-7 that hasn't run in over 10 years. this video is invaluable to me!!!!!! hope to do the exact same thing on saturday. love the content! thanks.

Please keep it and do a build even try your own little porting on it

Bloody good find mate! You’d be stoked!

God damn your videos are great m8! This is exactly the type of car content I love!

Epic barn find for sure!

I enjoyed that. A good watch! Good luck with the restoration journey!

Yesssss! As the owner of a S3 LImited I’m keen for this. Love the V5s I want a set for mine as they’re perfect for the era! Factory non-wiper rear hatch is rare too.

Woohoo love these year rx-7 .. dude keep that!!

The tac is also a voltmeter from memory with the key on not running

11 months ago, do you have the car 🚗 still in your possession? I am a Rx7 1980 original & first owner. It's garaged & parked. I used to own a 1973 Datsun 240z with a black & white interior. I got the Rx7, because its style was as almost close to the Z, and it was the first one in town. I will watch your video to see if you get the Rx7 started. Sounds like I remember! You got it started but needs some more tender adjustments...

Got yourself a beauty man show the motor and running gear the love they need and slowly work on the body i was super excited she started and im all the way in the uk🤣 Ps. Use a kmr template if you port her but do your research also give radpotentials ytube channel a look hes got all the info your gonna need!

Hey Mike what you see on those pips that coming together with the muffler is a air converssion to a more compression but they dont need it specialy the 12A engine maybe are the smaller engine in the RX verssion of Mazda but is very economic in gas and one of the must powerful engine in the market I us to have three of them and I eliminate all thos pips and hoses conected to the muffler pips and just leave the headers and the get at least 50 more horse power so for me you can eliminate those tubes and pips the this car dont need it because only make a bit more dificult to work on them and you going to have more power and estability on the car other thing for this cars is the if they have a single spark plug get a tripoid spark plugs but dont forget that those tripoids coming with letters and numbers for example the top's ones coming with 1 t and 2 t and the bottom's one's coming with a 2 b and 2 b so you can distinguish where they going because if you don't know those car's even with the 1.1 that is a 12 A and 1.3 that is the 13B engines they are not a 4 they are in cilinders a 6 cilinder's because each Diabolo have three points and each diabolo means a cilinders in the piston's engine in case that you need some more advice just let me know in here at the coments thx Mike and I hope that you going to love this lil but powerfull car also the RX* is a nine cilinder's if was a piston because they RX8 have three diabolos insted 2 and the engine change to R20x thx and like I said if need more advice let me know

Yeeeew

It’s a true first gen rx7 sa.

I bought my S2 in Oct last year it was a country car and had been sitting around for 10 years im the 3rd owner now.

It ain’t a motor unless it’s a rotor.....yeeeew big dawg. Bring the kiwi 🥝 spec rota to life gee

Now we are talking

Cant you just twist the distributor to tune the timing? I remember Nugget Garage did an episode tuning a 12a on their Dyno

Cage it, weld the diff and take it to Friday night drifts #sendit

It's not bore, it's dore (dorito).

Raffle it off..

Yeah sell the 280. Fix up the RX7

Sell the datsun, keep the rx7.
