I can remember that time frame well. You could buy FDs all day long for 10 to 15 and people like me constantly said the cars weren't worth the money compared to being able to buy a TII for 5k or less, and slightly used Rx8s were 20ish. I got my Rx8 in 2007 for 15k with less than 20k miles on it, so 7k for an fd would have been a good deal, but not out of the realm of possibility.

It's not really a show car. Those parts are track made parts in Japan. People here consider it "show parts" because its expensive but if you go to a Japanese track day, you will see lots of aero parts from RE Amemiya, Varis, Voltex, C-West, etc. used extensively.

Keep it up!

The FD's owner thought he was building a "show car" and inadvertently built a proper race car. The early 2000's RE Amemiya Super G vibes are nostalgic. It's SICK. Well done.

The proper procedure for a Miata is to just rig a motorized arm-and-finger assembly to the door so that you're always pointing everyone by at all times. You don't have to worry about getting passed in a corner, because Miata, and on the straights everyone can just easily slide on by. Perfect system.

Dude built it for the aesthetic but still did his research on functionality. Good shit! You also don’t need to “build” a car for the track. Take what you plan to track as is and build it from a baseline. You can start with tires, pads, brake fluid so your session doesn’t end early though.

@slinkeyj3

2 ай бұрын

Exactly. Do basic brake stuff, and maybe research online to see if the car NEEDS a specific mod or two to keep it safe (maybe the oil starves in hard cornering or such). But otherwise, take it to the track, and see what YOU think needs to be improved on

Loved being on track with it. Sounded great as he passed me on the front stretch 😂

Being able to set a pretty good lap time in a built car that has never seen track time is probably a high praise for all who were involved in the build, which proved that they built it well. To know that it doesn't suck is one thing, to hear that it laps that fast is another. BTW, is the Assetto Corsa mod for Chris' RX-7 FD3S a private one?

I love the sticker that says MAXIMUM ATTACK! It makes you wanna floor it.. good job chris, nobody can say that your car is just for show.. love the sounds.. this vid is like a rotary asmr video..❤❤❤

The braaaaaaaps will continue until morale improves

I wish Colby could be the stig for this channel, and u have him drive a bunch of different cars. Love that he can explain what he is feeling and seeing. One of my favorite videos for awhile

This is a great way to put more "down to earth" content on the channel! Awesome video! Also, Cody is just insanely cool and collected! Even acting like a show host, and talking to the camera. I definitely enjoyed this episode! I also really enjoyed the amount of car noise and raw footage of a racecar. Please do more♥️

Chris is built different. Sim time or not, keeping that thing on the tarmac itself is an achievement for someone with no on track experience. I hope to see it again on the channel! Love this series idea, too, I'm in for more.

This Rx7 is a beaut, I mean the sounds it makes, the flames it shoots, the power to weight ratio, the looks of it and the mods done to it is amazing.

You both should do an ultimate sleeper build! Both buy a sleeper style car and then make fast whilst keeping it sleeper as possible be fun to watch!

Absolutely love this concept for a series, please continue to make more!

Aboslutely phenomenal, dude's living my RX-7 dream to the fullest

HUGE props to Chris for taking this car on track. There are so many "track inspired" builds out there that never do what they're built to do. This is awesome.

I always love that ya'll include the fastest lap as an unbroken in-car shot.

Kudos to Cody for being courageous enough to absolutely *send it* in someone else’s project car, especially one built at home. He was absolutely flying in that 2:04.55 lap.

As a follower of Dogfight Time Attack, I knew I would love this car from the second I saw that slap on there

This is the most “JDM” RX-7 I’ve seen outside of Japan. Well done to the owner.

This is the content that I come to KZread for! OUTSTANDING job to the whole team and a big shout out to the builder who clearly did he research on effective, dialed performance modifications that actually affect the car's performance in a good way.

This is exactly the type of car I would build if I actually had money lol. Amazing job by Chris! Please please continue this series!

This is a really neat little series. I like the breakdowns like in Hot version. Where this Assetto Corsa mod tho???????????????

thank you so much for the added context bubbles to help the viewer understand some situations like what happened at 5:50. Love your work every time

love the idea for this series. POV driving clips are the highlight, along with Coby's insight on car dynamics

This is an awesome idea for a series, guys! I can't wait for the next one.

Really amazing car! I love these kind of videos from time to time. The drivers eye and backstory are nicely done. The passion and care of the owner are nice to watch!

this is by far one of the most enjoyable video I've watched on KZread this year. The story, from show car to an actually incredibly capable track car, to a cool owner that drove on the track for the first time with that car (lol). Coby is also cool, would be nice to hear a bit more about the way the car feels etc. This is awesome guys!

I didn't pay for the paint is the best line I've heard for a build

Awesome video as always G&G Crew.

This car was incredible to watch at VIR, sounded absolutely insane on the track.

Wow, way more content like this please, great watch and coverage! Heck of a build, humble builder, phenomenal car 🤙

So it turned out to be a track car posing as a show car. Interesting series, subscribed.

Love the series, love that it's pure sound, with no music. Keep it up!

You just had to end it with that beautiful idle sound aye G&G? This vid is chef's kiss😙👌

I’m stoked he’s using it at the track and pushing it way harder than it’d ever go on the street, but damn, I hope he leaves it at 8/10 or 9/10. It’s so easy to damage a car that’s THIS nice at a track. Find the gravel once, drop a tire off the end of a curb, even just gojng off into the grass. Commonly gone off areas can be so beat they’ll put the car in the air and crack windshields. It’d ruin all that nice aero on the front and probably more. It’s only money, but I don’t want it to discourage him from the sport if he makes one mistake! You have to do these kinds of things to learn to go fast. (Just ask coby!)

No joke guys you are doing a wonderful job putting smiles in many faces. keep up the good work

This was awesome. My guy Chris is out there living his dreams. You love to see it.

You guys seriously killed it with this! I can see this becoming a new favorite series. Thank you for sharing this!

Great video this week guys!!! Nothing like starting your morning off with some good Ole G & G! Been watching watching for awhile keep up the good work guys!

I'm building an FD time attack car atm that's gutted, caged, and stitch welded. The Mazda engineers did a brilliant job with geometry and balance of this car. A 13B single turbo with the oem 5-speed has the perfect weight to power ratio. Trying not to go overboard on aesthetics just maximize seat time and work on good technique. Smart engine management , suspension setup, and sensors can really help maximizing tire wear.

Love watching this so much more than drifting.

That was phenomenal Coby. What Colby does behind the wheel is nothing short of masterful. Cody can get around the track and is the perfect person for this series! Keep rockin' it, Cobs'ter!

If this will be a series i would love it this is great

Cool video. Wouldn't mind seeing more like this from time to time.

man i give chris all the respect. the fd has evolved so much form a montego blue fd in wing command parking lot meet to this well over a decade later. def give this builder some attention. that fd has seen an unreal amount of love in its life.

a few suggestions: 1. get a brake balance adjuster if the fronts are locking too much. 2. not sure what endless pads you have, but would suggest moving up to a more track oriented compound, like ME20 or more aggressive. 3. swap out the 888r to a better tire, if you want to go 200tw (71rs, a052, crs), if you want to stay 100tw (nt01, ar1, 3r), or Hoosier if you want more grip.

It may be a show car but a lot of thought and planning must have gone into the build. Kudos to the owner for doing such a great job balancing aesthetics and actual functional aero, not a mark many show cars hit. It does very much look like time attack cars running in Japan, clearly a lot of research went into it. Awesome car!

Love this! My first car on track also was own FD and i know... what is worst that can happen? Have a great time
