These update videos are great to see. It serves as a good reminder to the young guys getting into the hobby that it's ok to have car that's a work in progress. It's easy to find high dollar builds on YouTube and insta and get demotivated by lack of progress on what you personally own. Keep up the hard work kid, the car looks great!

Nice build. The RX-7 FB doesn't look dated and that's a great color. I've never heard of a redline beeper, I guess it was easier than a rev limiter with 80s electronics.
I'd be cautious of running the fog lights with the covers on. The heat from the halogens has been known to melt them. You can get clear stone shields if you're concerned about rocks. Reach out to Daniel Stern Lighting if you want to give your 7" headlights modern performance while still keeping the old-school halogen look.
You need to convert the choke pull to deploy a smoke screen or something cool. You should find someone with a 3D printer to convert the power window/speaker trim piece into a BFB-compatible cupholder.

Not gonna lie, i came for the Rotary content, but i am staying for your reviews! They are really good, and wil lbe watching in the future!
Recently saw your 1986 Dodge Shelby Charger review, never knew about this car! It's amazing to see such a car from US at the time of Muscle cars.

[Redline]

Sweet ride! Those B13 are smooth. Great job on the swap and can't wait to see more on it!

[markhealey]

Love RX-7s! European cars, including Ford & GM ones, also had one key, even back in the 70s, as well as 80s

[blacklove]

Love ur work. Brings back memories of the cars that I couldn't afford. 👍👍👍

[cemturyan]

Awesome video. Have you ever thought about turbocharging the N/A 13B?

[ModelA]

That is the best looking Mazda ever made. When they changed the body years later, they ruined it. Just my opinion. I still can't believe you sold this!!

[Midnight_Oil_MFG.]

Always liked your FB and was excited to see new episodes of Rotary Life with it. Definitely was a bit bummed when I found out you sold it, but hopefully you'll eventually get something cool to replace it!

[AAOSNIPED]

[Awhless]

Lovin the purple tint on the hatch <3

[hrench]

My Dad's 72 Ford LTD convertible had one-key. It was an option. Long before Japanese.

[OnlyTheFinest]

After you reviewed two of my vehicles... I had to watch yours! Definitely a super Rad ride!

lol at 6:22
great job on the car zack

[RazoE]

Beautiful. Any future plans for a turbo?

[coreyworthington]

Are you running 24/1 on your CAS? I see that you've cut the wires going to the G signal sensor. I had issues with my vr conditioner board. I decided to use the Ne signal because 24+1 wasn't working.

I just got a 60k mile FC for my first car i'm loving the rotary so far

[GasPipeJimmy]

My main rival back in the day. 😮
I had a Porsche 924 😊

[Ejdaniel]

The Rx7 Fb & Porsche 944 are the best looking cars ever made in history. Truly magnificent!
