Adding Lots of Carbon Fiber to My K-Swap RX7
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Most of the time when I build a car it is to make it go faster or be more reliable, this time I venture out of my comfort zone and install a bunch of useless carbon fiber. All of this is pointless and unnecessary but I want my car to look awesome and adding these parts is going to visually enhance the car so much more.

@@vinuyajohn719 in his case I believe the engine/ engine mounts were a little rough hence the need for the fluid damper. As for the drive shaft adapter its removed cus any adapters will add additional interfaces which can come lose or vibrate so try to run as few of those as possible.

“Reliable RX7”
I love the authenticity in admitting none of the carbon fiber was functional. It's your project brother 😁✊🏽
Walk around of a k swapped Z3 would be fantastic 😁
Beautiful work on the splitter! Love the fact that all the load paths go around the FG bumper!
G&G is so underrated. Much better content than a lot of other bigger channels. Great work and love the FD!
K-swap FD is literally my dream car, mainly because of this series.

JFC Andy is such a wizard. I appreciate that you've always upfront with what you're doing. Some people can't just admit to wanting something for looks, not that such beauty doesn't need any defense. Awesome FD
As much as I love the K series it does not belong in a 3rd gen RX7. That being said I can appreciate the work and craftsmanship put into this build. Truly a professional job.
I appreciate how yall are so down to earth and dont care about monster horsepower, dont care about clout and streetcred. I love that you just do what you love and that makes in 100000x better imo
Hey man i’m loving the build. Just always remember, you build your car for yourself not others! Keep it up man

One of my favorite channels to watch as the videos are just soooo high class and its just awesome.
This RX-7 is coming along great, it looks amazing. I'm looking forward to your next video.
"It looks cool" is a very valid point for putting something on your car :)
Freaking love this channel. Just real guys doing real car things. Watching this as I upgrade the lights all around my truck. Thumbs up from NJ
You guys are killing it! The cars both look awesome, keep making them how you want!
one of the best builds on youtube in my opinion, love seeing unique swaps that look super clean in the end
My dream car is a rx7, and you are building yours just like I would do it! Im loving it! Congratulations from Portugal 🇵🇹
Loving the progress on the k swap rx7! Can't wait for y'all to do the 48 state road trip! Excited to see the cars down in texas
I’m absolutely in love with this channel I get so damn excited to see every single video 😭
Your channel and content are just top notch. Really enjoy seeing all you guys do!
This is what i love about cars, make them your own, as you like it! Mate it looks awsome!
Everytime I watch a GG video I just feel happy. I feel happy that I get to see some awesome builds that are just practical and usable
Unboxing new car parts is always so exciting for me. Yesterday i unboxed my Yonaka catback exhaust for my Civic. I could only pull the muffler because it was too cold for anything else 😆
you guys are awesome! Best car channel of YT by a longshot imo.
That scene at the Honda dealership, well its still basically a Honda at heart. Not even mad.
Absolutely loving the fd content! You guys make my Saturdays awesome!
this channel is now my favorite to watch. everyone else’s videos seem so rushed the last year. these guys know how to take their time in the best way possible.
Congrats on your ride! It looks sick! Enjoy it!
Your videos are one of the few I never skip through, great production and also sometimes you look like me and it’s freaking me out
You ended up building my dream rx7 😍 amazing mazda look joined to that amazing k series, and this carbon pieces finished so well the exterior 👌enjoy man!
the snow shots and the breaking in shots were so pretty the fd looks amazing now
love the editing and the built. one of the best car series on here!
How this channel isn’t bigger is crazy.
fun fact about ethanol here in Brazil, most of our cars are bi-fuel, use gasoline or ethanol, or even any proportion between them right in the tank. it is common for engines - mainly European cars - adapted to be bi-fuel here in Brazil by the manufacturers themselves, end up getting up to 10% more horsepower than in their original countries with the original calibrations. Ethanol here in Brazil is obtained from sugar cane planted right here. All the ethanol carbon burned here ends up being absorbed by the plantations again. Ethanol is clean and powerfull, perfect
My buddy used to have a RHD JDM FD3S, and just watching this makes me reminisce on the times we used to fix and mod it in my garage.. Then guess what? He sold it, no more memories :'( .. Keep up the great content, can't wait to see the trip video! :D
“Totally unnecessary, but I think it’s awesome.” That’s all that matters, dude. I think it’s awesome, too. 👍👍
This Rx7 and Mike Mykes are my favorite on KZread! Great work!
This thing is gorgeous. Timeless body. Great job on the build amigo.
You don’t have to keep justifying why you wanna do things especially if it’s been well thought out. Love the build and the videos!
Really enjoy this RX-7 series. It looks like a dream build!
the quality of every footage you guys make is amazing👌
I love this series so much. Thank you Andy
Car really looks cool but i personally like a clean simple rx7. Keep up the good work
I love the build. I'm slightly disappointed that one of the best sounding cars now sounds like one of the worst sounding cars, but I like everything else. Love the look, love the color, love the carbon, love the aero, I'm sure it drives well, and I'm super stoked for the road trip videos to come!
This car looks absolut beautiful! I first thought bens would look better but sheesh this one is just perfekt!
I love both the rx7 build so much I can’t wait until they post the next vid
Looks fantastic. I now really want to grab that bumper for my FD.
God I love these guys. Can’t wait to see the rx7’s all over the country
When you guys swing through ny for the 48 state throw a meet so i can bring my kswap! Awesome bild, awesome fd!
This build is epic 🤘 All personal preference and zero f**k$ given. Can't wait to see the road trip videos.
Awesome build congrats man! Personally i loved those black wheels more they seemed to fill the fender gaps more and looked good on the red with the black taillight but its your car :)
48 state road trip. wow man I wish I can do that can not wait to see this next trip. best to you and ben.
I really liked the no wing look.

Always see evos and sti's at asm tuning and always wondered whats int here. Finally found out it was gears and gasoline!!
That’s a really nice exhaust sounds nice and the shotgun style looks so good please keep
Embrace to cool. The car is sick. Coolest swap I've seen in a long time
One of the best car channels on YT. Periodt
hopefully we will get to see the first ep of the roadtrip next week ;))) very excited even though I already saw almost everything on your instagram
very nice battery compartment. done beautifully.
Been waiting for the road trip. Gonna watch it on my tv for more satisfaction
Those cosmetics are very subtle and complete the look. Love it!!! 👍🏽
"Unnecessary but i like it". I like and respect this mindset
You guys are the biggest tease of all time I love it
Andy you are really good mechanic a lot of skills and knowledge god bless you 👍👍
Ben, you started to talk about driveline vibrations and all I could think about was Greg Peters driveline vibration saga.
Such a sick build, you gotta be happy with that.
ayee it's awesome to see your K-FD with body kits i hope it happen soon
car looks great and very adequate in power! nice job!
Love 98% of the care ! It’s a great car but that rotary and black interior I miss it soooo much !

The video quality is so good, gears and gasoline in my opinion shuld have around 5 mil subs
When you first got the rx7 I didn’t know how to feel about it but I’m start to like it more and more

Did you not see how floppy att the aero stuff is? None of that is good for track use. It’s all just “track inspired” which is what Ben says.
wish I could give you more thumbs for such a great job. I'm looking forward to this trip of the two FDs
As much as I wanna see the road trip videos, this will more than do till they’re released.
You guys have been killing it the past year or so. Keep an eye out for a clean TSX with Euro R aero if you are ever in the 757 area. I'll be looking for the FD.
Luke crushed it with this edit. Keep it up!
FD looks awesome well done
Gorgeous, if I were to ever do an RX-7 it would be just like this
Great video fellas! Keep up the great work.
I was just about to comment about a road trip untill the end ohh i m so excited...
Great video! Love the quality of your videos
Love the car and all the cool “unnecessary” bits, looks awesome, but please reposition the FMIC so it fits the bumper gap properly 🧐
That wing is going to do alot more than what you think. That lip actually helps to creat a low pressure and has it pull down like an upside down air plane wing. Not just relying on top pressure from air going over the wing and pushing down.
I’ve been watching all these build series on repeat.
