SCAMMED IN JAPAN! - RX7 FD3S Purchase Turned into Nightmare!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Purchasing an RX7 FD3S in Japan sounds like a good idea until when it arrives it's nothing like how it was described in the sale description.

Sammit thats a easy fix. Find someone with a fame machine and pull it out. Its really not that bad. The interior alone in that car is worth a lot of money and well worth saving

They can put a little money into it to sell as is and from the hints we got Enzo will profit. Less headache and risk in the long run with such an unknown can of worms. Hopefully the next car will actually be a good fixer upper for Enzo.
Enzo you got this! Little by little bro! Bring her back to life!!!!!!!!!

It honestly doesn’t look that bad as far as frame repairs go. I do know hard it to find a reputable shop there with a frame machine but somebody has to do it. But I get sometimes the needed funds for a project just aren’t there.

How salty do you want to be? Just because no one helps you doesn’t mean they wont help others. While sammit channel isn’t huge he has sponsors for the channel and for drifting. Some might be willing to help for the shoutout.
Actually so hyped for an FD fixer upper series for the channel! Imagine seeing it at peak resto chilling at ebisu. Would be a great story.
That's a diamond in the rough, Enzo. Don't give up on her. I think a lot of us would love to see this car built on the channel. C'mon Sam, this is an easy build compared to the abandoned S15. Help him make a dream car come true.
Lolol that LZ wheel in his backpack after talking about hulking his car out, haha loved that
It doesn't matter how clapped out it is. It's still an FD. I'm a huge Honda guy but, you can't help but love the lines of this chassis.

as a mechanic this car doesnt scare me a bit yes it needs some love but easily fixed with little bit of time and effort.

I used to work in a collision shop and that does not seem like that big of a job. If the frame isn't split and the manufacturer specifications say its able to be pulled (probably a cold repair) it's very possible it could be fixed easily. Ask a shop first!
We NEED an RX7 on this channel ASAP
22:35 5:00pm already? 🤣😂 One thing I still can't out of my head after living in Japan is the 8:00am and 5:00pm chimes in most towns in Japan. It's kinda like when you go to Vegas and swear you can still hear the slots in the background during the flight home.
This will be a good project for the channel. Can't wait to see the rebuild
You still got it cheap Enzo, don't stress too much! May not be the dream car you were hoping for first time but as a fellow FD owner, it's a great car to mod and have fun experimenting with and not feeling bad about it haha. Enjoy it. Can always buy more in future.
The compression from the engine running is pushing past the coolant seals into the cooling system and is coming out of the expansion tank vent. You might need a rebuild bud.
Awesome video as always Sammit. FDs are so awesome especially Black FDs.
Enzo, you got this. We all know you can do it. For what you payed for it, use it as a motivation to bring this machine back to life, then you can sell it if you want to. Make it all about the journey!!
man hearing this gets me more excited to start the Fc project that im picking up on monday
Thank you Enzo for bringing the rotary for sammit life's now. It was about time.
700k❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳🎊🎊🏎💨💨. Congratulations my boi . Sugoee!!❤
Used FD3S parts in Japan are hella hard to find and expensive... Spoke with a Japanese guy who owns one in my neighborhood and that's his main issue with the car.
Tough break, Enzo! Hope the next car is fire🔥🔥 🔥
Please be with Enzo when he does buy another car after this fiasco is dealt with. Good luck with everything !!!
I love this!!🎉🎉❤ apart from the being scammed . First day off work in forever and turned on my Xbox . New video ❤❤❤❤

mr Sam, youtuber in other side of the pond that also drifting while failed many times now a winner of an FD round. You CAN DO IT as well man.... keep up the good work.
Check out Full Function Engineering for fuel rails, air pump delete,etc parts Look up reliability mods for FD's. AST(Air separator tank) is one as the factory one breaks. Removing the twins will also help drop engine temps as they heat soak the engine bay.
This happened to me before. I got an eclipse 09 and the guy said quick sale and said there was nothing wrong with it. A couple days later it had engine problems and I didn’t have the money to fix it cuz I just bought the car. It sucked soo much that this happened to me. I haven’t had a car since 2015 and I miss driving so much!! :( it sucks being broke 😢😢
I would love to see you build this car with him, some sort of show build maybe idk why they got it, but it would be so cool to see it as a project for both of you to work on and it to be a daily. so cool tho.
seems like a good candidate for veilside kit

Yup, pretty shitty to see them try to pass on their bullshit situation to one of his subscribers instead. All while making a quick buck too, it sold for $11.8k and he wants $15k
Finally some rotary content, my favorite and dream car classic JDM rotary 👍
It's a damn shame about that frame rail. I was hyped at the beginning of the video. Hopefully someone will buy it and restore it to its former glory.
We need a FD Rx7 build on the channel 👌🇦🇺
In fact, reving a rotary cold, especially with load and boost, can cause the corner seal to go out, sometimes they just seize in place but you have to take the engine apart to fix it.
Isn’t that “leak” from when you opened the coolant reservoir and it spilled out?
Still blows my mind that Vargas shop is like 5 minutes from my house in virginia and i never knew it lol
At least the engine seems like it's in pretty good condition, apart from a couple of leaks.. Hope it's not too costly to fix that front end, and hopefully not too many other issues..
We all need a legend in our lives like Sam
Rebuild the whole 13B and replace the whole front end and throw a 6 speed trans in it and itll be a solid FD Enzo !
“Warm it up a bit” continues to rev it.
Happy 700k sub bri🎉
depends on how far back that frame rail is bent right? But thats some B is for build /arthur tussik level of repair thats gonna be required
quick slick n ready for port sunday
Nice young man wit a beat up dream car, that's how it all start To check if a rotary healthy or not, a good ol compression check & endoscope will determine the health of the rotary seals & stuff
Hats off for Enzo getting the first rotary "build" on the channel, lol. Gonna be interesting to see the next car of his on the channel.
Make that the new build on the Chanel Sam we’d all love the content , whether it’s yours or enzos
Got scammed my first go round too. Lol sucks real hard when it starts to set in how much of piece of junk it really is. Happens to the best of us.
Great bones!! You’ll learn a lot don’t be worry bro!
For the price you all got it for just keep it! Fix it! The probability of finding another one that cheap is slim to none. When it’s all fixed and you are driving it it’ll be well worth the wait and money. If this is something Enzo has been wanting to get for a long time I’d say just give her some love and fix it up!
16:35 is the same face I’m making right now when I heard that 😂😭😂
There needs to be a new shirt drop. “Hey, how you doin?” Lol.
Enzo bringing us the new bogan! Rx7 only fix on a budget with inshop stuff and upgarage?! content just writing itself!
When I hear front clip, I think from the firewall up. Does it need all that or just a core/radiator support?
Maaaaaan, I would have loved to see this one rebuilt!
700k🎉 congrats 🤝
It happens man! All up from here Enzo!
Congratulation with 700k subscribers you deserve it
Honestly. A good weeks work that rx7 Sam. Give enzo a hand with it
There’s a fuse for the automatic headlight pop up pull that before you roll up the pop ups. That way it stays up.
Buy it Sammit! 30k in and its worth way more!
oh first time I've seen actual headlight fluid, that's great!
bring her back into life i cna hear it purring to live you can do it sammit!
need to top the blinker fluids up 😂
no engine no interior in LA is 20k usd. Got mine 2 years ago (post inflation) for 19k, 2k miles, built and tuned by DK at Garage Life, clearanced rotors, pinned, 3mm apex seals, single BW S362, running on haltec, new paint. Had some electrical issues i solved, and missing some switches on center console. Came with a spare stock 40k mile block and spare popups, box of spare parts, 9 mazda oil filters, ect. its clean, not perfect, but best i could do while being comfortable spending that amount of cash without inspecting, i knew if i didnt get it i would have to spend 2x more. If i was enzo and this was my dream car, i would just try to fix it, it doesnt seem like too much damage to me. If hes not completely in love with the car, not worth the headache and time to swap it all on top of fixing. Its definitely has potential, and is definitely worth the work.
as an RX-7 fan... this is good... it needs a fix and it will be an awesome car to drive... want to see it again once it got fixed... ❤️❤️❤️ but i wish Isami Amemiya sees this and help your friend sam... 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Regrets Enzo. Chin up. Sam's got ya back. Next time get Sam to look at a car before purchasing. ✌️🤘🇦🇺
Even with the bend frame, a frame shop can certainly pull it straight. It needs work, it is a bit a rough but nothing that can't be fixed up in my opinion. Would be a shame if he does sell, but I can imagine he wants a running and driving car instead of working on it before driving it.
Kid, you got a deal and everything can be fixed. It's money and hard work thats beats talent baby! Just rebuild everything from experience. I would love to find a previous model turbo 2.
Very beginning at 27 seconds made me laugh lol so relatable
Fix that frame it’s easy fix!! Good content for the channel
Buy that isshhh !! More content for us and more knowledge for you 🎉🎉 Win , Win
Sammit buy a radiator pressure tester. They’re pretty cheap and you can do these tests well.
The front rail is completely fixable! That thing is dope. Especially for $15,000!
You guys should take out engine and make sure didn’t like how it started but running it sounds good
oof, i feel that, been dealing with a similar situation with my daily, frame is straight, but its a flintstones mobile
i wish i had someone like sammit to support me in a project car
i bent both front rails on my fd couple hours on the caroliner it was fixed that looks like an easier fix then mine
Nooo don’t sell it! It would be a great journey to bring this back to life and tune it. Enzo give it a try!
I’ve seen worse damage repaired. It just depends on if your heart is in it! The FD is a legend and a collectible JDM car. It will only get more expensive so worth the effort IMO
I would not be revving that engine without knowing the condition of the oil or fuel, but that's just me. Don't put synthetic in that thing please, rotaries were designed to burn a little bit of oil as it's used to lubricate the apex seals. Apparently synthetic oil doesn't behave the same as conventional oil in a rotary engine, that's just what I've heard though.
Congrats on 700k!
It's a big project now.
Hate to say this but with all those bubbles in the water, the coolant just coming out when tap opened shows compression in the coolant system. Coolant seals need replacing, so it is a complete engine rebuild.
Sounds really good, this would be a perfect project car
It runs good huh, not bad, as long as there's no serious rot, your good. Idk about all that Bondo in all those areas but, good fixer upper!!!!!!!
11:41 I LOVE YOUR KNOB FOR THE FAN 😁😆😅🤣😂
Sammit you need to adjust your camera settimgs the shake is unreal 😅 ask tj about settings lmao
FD always been my dream car. But for a good one in the Netherlands the prices are insane. I really want to buy this car as a project car but doesn't have the money for it at the moment. So that is kinda sad. This opportunity will be in my head for a really long time....
we all make mistakes sometimes. its gonna be alright
