The UK Dealer launch for this model RX-7 was in Rome at the Sheraton Hotel. 10 press cars were there for us to try. All the cars were parked overnight in the hotel's gated multistory car park with guards to watch over them. By the end of the week, all the cars had had their radio's stolen!
Woah this guy has his own channel. I like how you do your videos and this project intrigues me a lot. I used to have a very clean S4 N/A that got smacked into by some idiot and destroyed. I still miss it.
Double check and make sure that idle air control valve is still functioning properly if not it will lean out the engine and blow an apex seal you're better off deleting it as well the way to go around it get the car up to operating temperature and then you adjust your throttle cable to whatever idle you choose I have mine set to idles at 1000 RPM when it's at operating temperature but as it's warming up it will idle at 11 to 1200 RPM
Dave it's great to see you breathe life back into the old beast. So apart from getting her back on the road have you got anything in mind for the future. I'm so annoyed that you guys can delete the egr system and anything else you want, over here when you take your car for its yearly test if they spot anything that has been detected it's an instant fail and.your in deep smelly stuff. Your work is the muts nuts mate simply brilliant. As always looking forward to your next post Gary.... England 🇬🇧
My guy. That is the worst fuel I have ever seen. I thought my 1985 MR2 was bad and even that was just dark yellow/orange/brown. Great progress. That intake manifold cleaned up so nice. Can't wait to see it run!
Lots of improvements on the FC no doubt the car is looking better and better and you have done lot of work into this machine, amazing job you’re doing to it. Anyway fantastic video 👍Dave
good content man! like your explanations of what you are planning to do with the car. the part 1 was the first video I watched from you. Just subscribed!
Really like it Dave always good to resurrect a car that seems its past it! Agree with other comments spray the same as the FD and have a matching pair!
Just bought a non running turbo 2 this weekend and just got it started today! It had really bad fuel just like yours because it was sitting for so long 😂
Dave just a tip. Grab mkIII Supra injector o-ring kits at autozone. Same as fc just comes with 1 extra o ring you won’t use. $5 and you don’t have to wait for anything in the mail!
Look like your on your way -bringing your RX seven back from the grave. I’ve nieces that live over in canyon city. Thinking about making a trip to visit with them.
The mechanical oil injection system isn't much of an issue compared to the electronic ones found in later models but still needs premix if increasing power significantly.
How? Even if it fails open, it's post MAF and will draw metered air. The ECU would compensate for the extra air just as it would when it's operating normally.
Dave update in the U-ship saga or if they paid you to be hush hush we understand just make a video with a update and two minutes of you winking at the camera. Anyways always enjoy your content!
Junkyard Dave there’s a guy on CL that parts out 3000gt’s but I can’t find him now. I found this. Hope it helps muncie.craigslist.org/pts/d/parker-city-3000gt/6937856903.html

do you need to delete the OMP to premix or can you still premix with the OMP in because just got my fc running today and premixed it but i havent taken out the OMP
The mechanical oil metering system is extremely reliable on a Mazda Rotary. You are committing yourself to an ongoing need to carry extra oil and mess about with it every time you put fuel in the car. I've been street driving a S5 engined first gen for 20 years and the OMP has never been an issue
My 87 N/A fc was catching fire under throttle body because of leaking fuel dampener. Most of vacuum lines are burned, i have othet one lines from yunkyard rx7 but don't know to connect it all together. Any help?
Did I hear you say you removed the secondary butterflies from the throttle body? Pretty sure you can’t just do that unless you’re running a new throttle body.
@Junkyard Dave you oughta get Rogain to sponsor you videos, you would be the perfect candidate to show a balding receding hairline transform into *”a Rogain miracle!”* as their ads claim- a full head of hair.

lol that bumper pulling went from "slow and steady" to "send it, it's gonna be fine" real fast 😂 was too perfect for that tug 😅
The ebrake didn't want to hold so I could do the gentle pull lol
Looking to get a fc again and I wanna start from scratch like you guys did , hella respect for giving this girl a new life
I have a black 87 TII that i need to work on as well nice to see people still have FC's

Is this a turbo 2 thing or NA as well?

rip baby spider,they had a good 18 seconds of life

Not sure yet I almost bought a 4 rotor for my FD and then I told myself to chill lol

Nice. My FC runs atm but I want to upgrade the injectors and fuel rails soon.
Love these cars, nice work.
good content man! like your explanations of what you are planning to do with the car. the part 1 was the first video I watched from you. Just subscribed!
Thanks glad to hear it
Something about injector cleaners is so satisfying to me.
Really like it Dave always good to resurrect a car that seems its past it! Agree with other comments spray the same as the FD and have a matching pair!
Nice! I own a 1990 toyota celica with 191k on it now I'm using her alot for work is there anything in should check as far as preventative maintenance?
Just depends on how it was maintained
Subbed! I only wish I could watch these one after the other to see it run again. Keep up the good work!
I have a truck series you can watch in the meantime lol
I'm gonna have to race you with the Z31. It'll be the perfect 80s throw down.
You need to hang out more lol
Yeeeeeah!
Z31 vs GTO!
Cough cough my 89 Civic hatchback cough cough
Just bought a non running turbo 2 this weekend and just got it started today! It had really bad fuel just like yours because it was sitting for so long 😂
Enjoying your content, used to have an 84 GSL and a 94 R2, really miss both cars and i think my next one will be a Turbo II.

the onyl problem i have with this video is the fact i have to wait for next episode :D
I have alot going on this week so it's either a Monday video or a Friday video
Dave my bro...you need your own shop! I always learn something with your videos.
Been trying to find one but shops here are scarce
RIP to the lil spiders , you all had a good run
Lol
21:37 NOW THATS THE SHOT WERE ALL HERE FOR!!!
Lol
Nice car man! always liked the FC!
Cheers from Argentina!
I love the fc videos! Rx7 in general.
Look like your on your way -bringing your RX seven back from the grave. I’ve nieces that live over in canyon city. Thinking about making a trip to visit with them.
Hey dave you should respray the fc the same colour as it was quite a cool colour love from Ireland :)
@@keithwhelan2700 how ya buddy
Maybe would have to see what it looks like when it nice lol
Keep up the good work dave... already almost at 50k subs!!
KNOCK KNOCK
hello
ITS THE EPA WE HEARD YOU GOT SOMETHING WE NEED LOOK AT
Oof
Great video, this is making me want an fc more and more!
I'm enjoying your work on this RX.
The mechanical oil injection system isn't much of an issue compared to the electronic ones found in later models but still needs premix if increasing power significantly.
Lol that fuel was insane! Going to need to flush the lines!
Love the FC content, keep it coming.
Its original color is really cool. You should just paint it the same IMO.
Nice one ! Comp sounds good on cranking.
Dude is super high off the dankies dankies 🔥👌👌
UA-cam Dave gets it
you can pull those injector filters out and replace them. they're dirt cheap to rebuild
Makes me miss my '88 FC Turbo II so bad!!!
Nice work. Coming along!
Pressure wash under the hood and bumpers for us plz
That’s it... I’m calling PETA @20:35 😉
Great work and love watchin you work
All i want for Christmas is a decent work bench lmao
No ls swap. Yes!!!
Lol
Loving this build
thanks Dave keep them coming
0:38 Ah, now I remember what I forgot to do last after the last video
Vinager works good to clean the gas tank
Put the BAC back on. It's not an emissions component. Why wouldn't you want the ECU to be able to aide in idle control?
It can fail and cause it to go lean
How? Even if it fails open, it's post MAF and will draw metered air. The ECU would compensate for the extra air just as it would when it's operating normally.
good job dave beautiful job man i gets jiggy with the channel bro rs!! keep up the good wrk ur the man!!!
Thanks
I don’t thing PETA will like you harming those spiders
Dave update in the U-ship saga or if they paid you to be hush hush we understand just make a video with a update and two minutes of you winking at the camera. Anyways always enjoy your content!
Still waiting for them
Looking good so far Dave, keep it going. You gotta collab with Rob Dahm
or Mickey and Ricky from Throtl.
I'm too small for that lol
@@Junkyard_Dave no way Dave, have you seen his wiring birds nest on the Rotary Corvette? He definitely needs your help!
@@texasflysuperstar yeah I am surprised he didn't just have someone make a nice harness
I’m excited for this build. When do you think you’ll finish the vr4?
Hopefully soon trying to source some good side skirts
Junkyard Dave there’s a guy on CL that parts out 3000gt’s but I can’t find him now. I found this. Hope it helps
muncie.craigslist.org/pts/d/parker-city-3000gt/6937856903.html
do you need to delete the OMP to premix or can you still premix with the OMP in because just got my fc running today and premixed it but i havent taken out the OMP
top job dave,, cars going to look as good as that white one when you have finished
Hopefully thay would be sick
What did you use to clean the housing? Thank you for sharing.
Which housing
Sorry ,I meant the manifold @@Junkyard_Dave
I like your work! Keep it up!
12:00 Did you drain the oil or the fuel? lol Damn thats some black gas! Glad it didnt try on those injectors the first time.
Idk how it was so bad but dam
The mechanical oil metering system is extremely reliable on a Mazda Rotary. You are committing yourself to an ongoing need to carry extra oil and mess about with it every time you put fuel in the car. I've been street driving a S5 engined first gen for 20 years and the OMP has never been an issue
lets see how much of this i can watch before work lol
Hell yeah
My 87 N/A fc was catching fire under throttle body because of leaking fuel dampener. Most of vacuum lines are burned, i have othet one lines from yunkyard rx7 but don't know to connect it all together. Any help?
I always laugh when i see the battery cooler/vent.
Poor spiders 😟
Have you tried purple power cleaner. Love that stuff
love the videos dude, keep it up.
hey man i like this series please keep it up.
Did I hear you say you removed the secondary butterflies from the throttle body? Pretty sure you can’t just do that unless you’re running a new throttle body.
sitting for just 5 years?! my FC was sitting since 1992 😂😂 soooo much worse
It may have been longer idk just went of what I was told
@@Junkyard_Dave your fuel was luckily still liquid form, mine was the "new and improved" brown gel gas
Could you do a step by step video on how to remove the rats nest to help a brotha out. Love your videos
Just remove it all and cap all the holes
A nice color would be burnt orange on this!
Thats a jdm engine look at the midle iron plate the flat area is where tje american engine has the egr valve👍👍😎
Any update on the Hellcat build? Did you get your issues resolved with the dealer?
I am still waiting for uship to cut me a check
What color are you going to paint it ?
Not sure
Nice work!
mechanical omps don't fail
@Junkyard Dave you oughta get Rogain to sponsor you videos, you would be the perfect candidate to show a balding receding hairline transform into *”a Rogain miracle!”* as their ads claim- a full head of hair.
Idk if it restores fire damage lol
Love yur vids brother.from new zealand
So how much premix you use on a full tank of gas
Idk I just keep 5gallon jugs at my house
Good work Dave should be running soon. Any luck with the hellcat parts yet?
Still waiting on uship
Compression test 😊
what rims are on the white one?
Man at that many miles you might as well pull the whole thing.
Ewwww, that fuel... Did someone premix used engine oil or something?
Always wanted to build a TURBO II vert. Orgin bodykit on the ground
12:04 me after eating Taco Bell
Lol
Your videos are dope!
Tha ks
What's in that jar, the world may never know.
You should just swap it with a ls 5.3 since knowing that rotary already has so many miles
Dave you should of gave the parts a nice Coat of paint
damn sell me some of that zep i have a greasy jeep to clean
EPA would probably shit. LOL!!
Heyyy I have the same mower! lol
hmmm i think i need a RX7 in my lyf..
lunch is the crappiest stand in the world, rearrange the injector and the picture will change
Where’s the hellcat?👀
Subbed!
