  • mobb ftw

  • @BALROGG111 damn str8

  • How are these cars as daily drivers if maintained correctly from an engine build?

    I was thinking of selling my 8 for an FD and rebuilding the engine on one, but idk

  • @Reaction92 They are great cars, outstanding as a matter of fact. But really, it depends on how much effort you're willing to put into it. Of course the more horsepower you have, the more the driveability goes down. I enjoyed it though... enough to swap out the motor. I'm in the process of swapping an LS1 in it now... should be up and running in about a month.

  • @rxtony05 yea I was only on planning on going 330-360 hp range

  • @rxtony05 yea but as you say the more hp you have the more the drive ability goes down... but that is for any engine :p

  • @Tj1056 True... But I think 500 horses on an LS1 will end up lasting a bit longer than 500 on a rotary... idk. I've never had a 13B pumping out 500 XD

  • @rxtony05 it will actually last longer with single turbo at about 500hp... on lets say a gt35r... less heat build up (heat will kill the rotary) the TT builds up a lot of heat compared to the single turbo... depends on what you do to the ls1 that is about 200hp more you need to push out...

  • @rxtony05 im at 450 and the power has to b match by cooling it all comes down to the care and love AND THE PROPER UPGRADES TO manage long life :D

  • over 100,000 miles on original engine modified 5 yrs back knock on wood nothing has ever went wrong since the upgrades (DAILY DRIVER AS WELL)

  • @BRISEXYBRI Nice... car has gone through some changes since this vid. Hope to have new vids up, later on this year.

  • @Reaction92 these can last a good 200k on stock engine(that is if you are driving it like its suppose to)... but added mods for like reliability mods like cooling will help... I have swapped out the standard TT from the 93 and put in a 99 spec from a 02 with the y pipe... downpipe, exhaust, intake, 1300cc secondary injectors, power fc and commander, upgrade fuel pump, SMIC, and get the greddy intake elbow for help... making 360-400whp depending on psi...

  • @Reaction92 but to make this power you will expect around 180k miles range before rebuild maybe 200k depending on your seals and tune... a bad tune will kill the seals on these cars fast... but what makes these a good engine also is the fact they are fast and easy to rebuild...

  • @Tj1056 yea, 180k miles sounds pretty good to me :D

  • @Tj1056 Just a hard decision to make. I dont mind going and fixing something here and there, but not to what people make it out to be where its like problem after problem after problem..

  • @Reaction92 meh I drove my car fine for a full year with no problems other then a simple oil leak :p I do have minor upgrades tho

  • @Reaction92 Oh yeah... stock or with minor upgrades, they run so smoothly (with proper upkeep/maintenance). I wouldn't mind buying another one myself. It's once you start to increase boost... or find someone who does a sh*tty job tuning... you start playing rotary roulette lol. Don't let anybody persuade you otherwise... they are great cars. I just can't find anybody around here who works on em... so I'm crossing to the dark side. Find one with low mileage... you should be good.

  • Music sort of ruined it D: nice ride anyway

  • not everyday you get to hear a stock fd.

  • Nice, now get your compression checked

    .

  • hey tony,

    is that cat back? or dp and cat as well?

    cheers

  • this one looks just like my uncles

  • Mine sounds like a vacume cleaner and has a weakness for oil and tires

  • just wait till you open it up with an air intake and a power fc

  • why is a video thats suppose to let us hear the exhaust have a sound track. makes it harder to listen

  • stock sounded better

  • stock sounds like a sewing machine lol.

  • Cleann

  • thanks... lol not so clean right now tho.

  • BEAST!!! What's the soundtrack called?

  • Mobb Deep - Shook Ones (Instrumentals)

  • Yea see guys thats how an exhaust should sound not to loud and not raspy. this RX-7 has one clean sound well done dude.

  • appreciate it!

  • you got that right !!!

    and you cant go wrong with a Racing Beat exhaust (or any parts for a rx7).

    i bought the complete kit for my rx7 ( downpipe, midpipe, resonator and dual exhaust)., and its the best investment so far. sure its really expensive , but its worth it all !!!

    clean fd, keep them videos coming !!!

  • you need to get a rear spoiler...will make the car look even nicer

  • I'm going to get a kit for it... I'm definitely thinking about leaving the spoiler/wing off. Keep it real clean.

  • MOBB DEEP! dope instrumentals.

  • Yea, most likely something is wrong if you find one for 6k... Probably salvage title or something. You might be able to find a good condition roller for that and put your own motor in it for a good price though.

  • can anyone give me a web site with some USA second hand cars , or just mazda rx7 for about 6000 USD something like that

  • If you find a 3rd Gen Rex for 6 G's, something is wrong with it... I found mine for $12,000 with 75K miles on it. I got really lucky.

  • yeah you can probably find a mediocre one for around 9k but thats pretty rare.

  • Nice car and music.

  • dude where did you get the car with a left side steering wheel?? pless respond:) from what country :)

  • it called the USA

  • nice

    Rx7s r badass

    easily my favorite car

  • how big is the interior? i'm thinking about getting one. im 6'1'', will i fit in one?

  • Well... I'm 6'1", and it's a nice "fit" for me. I don't feel cramped... but it's definitely no caddy. Really it depends on how heavy you are and whether or not the steering wheel tilts. Getting in and out... a little tricky. But once you're in, it's pretty cozy lol.

  • man im thinking of getting this.. i love the stock look :P

  • Do it... fun car to drive even when its stock, i'll tell you that.

  • Wow sweet car. sounds good. I'm a die hard American Muscle guy but when it comes to RX-7s id get one any day.... if i had the money. lol

  • Thanks man... I'm glad you're not "that guy", pumped up about the American Muscle, bashing "rice burners". I just like cars in general... thinkin bout a lil V8 action when I get back to the states.

  • nice vid...love rx7 ♥

    btw whats the name of the song?

  • thanks... Mobb Deep - Shook Ones. It's the instrumentals.

  • nice one.. what made is the box?

  • lol... What?

  • Is that wax in the back bumper cracks?

  • ...Maybe.

  • Very clean car, great job!

  • Yeeeah Rotary Power :D I live in Germany I hope I get such a rx7 ^^ Hey did u have any problems with the engine cause of the apex seals?

  • no... just a vacuum leak.

  • Are RX7s legal in the us

  • yes they are. there were US versions made and sold here.

  • Nice FD, not nice walmart tires.

  • walmart?  my dude... those tires are $255 a pop.

  • Bridgestone Eagles, aren't they?

  • that was super clean . u cant find a RX7 in that good of a condition

  • lol... true, you have to hunt

  • Was this just with the cat back? I want to buy that same one, plus 3 inch down & mid pipe. And i know it probably sounds different in person so, is it really loud? thanks.

  • you finished by bolting the exhaust to a hanger right? bc i can see that the one on the right side of the new exhaust isnt connected to anything and the exhaust was shakin when it was reved.

  • of course man... can't ride around in a rex and have it lookin shitty lol.

  • alright good thats what i figured. i just thought ur video would b after it was completely donee. but very clean lookin rx7, good job not making it a ricer and all gay

  • lol... fo sho

  • badass song too, not many ppl listen to them anymore

  • coool car,Did I want the equal one, all that cost you????

  • mobb deep shook ones beat

  • fo sho!

  • nice but I prefer the sinlge big tips 4" :P

  • wasn't tryin to get pulled over... i feel you tho. When i come back from iraq and rebuild this motor... i'm probably gonna go with the coffee can exhaust lol *LOOK FORWARD TO A SINGLE TURBO UPGRADE, 550HP+*

  • Beautiful car man, nice job taking care of that baby.

  • Nice car, man. I'm almost there with my paychecks to buy a 3rd gen 7 soon. You have the color just the way I like it although I'm considering getting a different tone for the hood (and maybe even the middle for the 2-toned convertible look). What TT kit are you running?

  • thanks... i tell everybody the 3rd gen looks good in any color. its the stock turbos... 8-10 lbs of boost. I'm goin over seas for 7, possibly 13 months (iraq), so when i get back, i'm going to overhaul the engine, rebuild it... big streetport, big single turbo set up. I'm lookin for 600whp.

  • get a downpipe next !! its so much better after that

  • aye man i plan on it, i heard it was a bitch to put on tho.

  • where do you get a rx-7 driver seat on the left side?

  • USA.

  • This is way off topic, but how much of a verticle did you gain from air alert and could you dunk after with a basketball?

  • i'd like to say I put on about 5 inches to my vert... I was barely dunking before, and yes I could definitely dunk after. I have a video up here where I through myself a few alleys.

  • yea i try to stay away form the mazda dealer. most around here havent seen a rx7 in 10 or more years. good thing rx7store is 5 minutes away

  • ha thats not who i think it is driving is it...?

  • old man river... yeah

  • dude...dude... sweet car bro. wheredya get ur car from?

  • lol... really

  • cool thanks. What seems to be the problem on her?

  • when it idles... the rpms bounce up and down, sounds like $hit. I was told it could be a vacuum problem, but I'm not sure if i wanna take it to mazda to get the problem solved.

  • Yeah see I dont take mine to Mazda. Just all depends with them how often and well they work with rotary. Some Mazda shops get a good amount of experience with them and others dont. Luckily for me I live about two hours away from Pettit Racing.

  • Hey looks sick. Like the look of the car. All stock on the engine. How did that exhaust work out for you though and how was the sound? Im thinking of getting one put on in a couple of weeks.

  • The exhaust worked out great. I like it a lot. It gives it a more aggresive look without over-doing it like HKS Cat-backs. It sounds a lot better as well.

  • Thanks for the help. I have a Montego Blue 94 Touring. I love the stock look and the exhaust fits it. I heard this exhaust is most preferred for the car. I'm going down to Pettit soon to get it put on. Good luck with anything you do to the car.

  • appreciate it. same to you.

  • Hey if you ever get a chance let me know how it sounds when the second turbo kicks in and how it is at idle and just cruising.

  • It'll take me a while before i can... because right now she's running crappy. I don't know what the problem is, but when i get it fixed, I'll post more vids.
