This Time Attack Spec Mazda FD RX-7 is All Business, Yet Street Legal
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лип 2020
- There are a lot of nice street and drift spec FD RX-7s out there, but you really don’t see a ton of them trackside these days. So it’s always refreshing to see a well-put together FD in full time attack spec… yet still street legal. Owner / frequent attacker of time Ben Mich has killed it on this simple AND effective platform, getting track miles to listen to sweet rotary sounds.

Hoonigan AutoFocus Hey Im from norway and i would like to Buy a wall paper but Its 1million. Nok witch stands for norske kroner you guy could check if something is wrong i would like that.
Hmm now its full weird.
it’s good to see rich people with good taste
Hell yah, Desmond Regas are some of the coolest ever made.
michael people have good taste too 🙄
It’ll make eating them so much more tasty
good taste has ended when he decided to move mirrors and removing pop-ups
I have always loved this era of RX7. The body design and styling still looks fantastic 30 years later!
Sexiest car ever built😍😍😍
Sexy and powerful presence
The design is practically timeless, it's gorgeous.
The best
MachineGunLarry back at it again, carrying the whole Hoonigan-Channel. Keep it up, great work, thank you!
Big fax
/\ This 100%
100% Larry hi key is the real plug
A fresh 13b from the factory and all you have to do is sign up for the motorsports program. Learn something new everyday. Thank You Larry.
You don't need to sign up for it that's to get a discount, you can go straight to Mazda and buy one.
Yea any mazda dealer any country walk in and order 1 all need is the $ they also have a sweet poster u can buy that is the workshop manual for rebuild
In the rare chance you're serious, hope you research Mazda spec engines and put your money into something purpose built instead
watch the Angel Motorsports Video on the factory 13b's they got from Mazda. I'd rather put my money in a good rebuild...
Ben's RX7 has always been one i've admired the most, way before I got my own. So happy to see his 7 on here!
Can totally relate to "I'm not that good at working on cars, but I do all my own work anyway". Even if you botch something and have to redo it, you still save a ton of cash. Plus live and learn, etc...
Dreams!!! Soon I'll get my FC that clean
But that pocket book
Oh daaang! I know John Renna. That's awesome! He actually inspected my 93 CYM FD before purchase, when I went up to buy it in Pennsylvania!
Gotta say, Larry is killing it with these videos! Right on dude. Stay safe and much love to the whole Hoonigan Family.
25:20 the genuine laughter of being a passenger.
"I have perminent scars on my arm from just changing the oil" lol 😂 👌🏼
I've got a Nissan Stagea 260rs with Rb26 and basically is an R33 GTR with a wagon body. The oil filter location makes me think that Japanese mechanics must be well versed in the arse of origami wrist folding and contortionist twisting. It's the only way to do the oil change.
Maybe the car was on fire 🔥 while he was changing the oil lol 😆 😂
My favorite JDM car of all time! Thank you Larry for sharing your experience.
Such an iconic car, everyone loves a nice FD. Great shooting as always Larry! Def appreciate the content.
I've been waiting to learn about this car. Thank you!
Great job Larry good to see you back, awesome cars and wicked vid, cheers KC Tasmania Australia #StaySafeStayHome
OUR FAVORITE BEN IS AT IT AGAIN!
Thanks, Larry for such a great video on one of the coolest cars we've ever seen. Can't wait to see/race it again at Mid-Ohio this year!
Love this build. Has 90’s Wangan Racer vibes and 2000’s Tsukuba time attack vibes all in one
OMG I love this RE RX7, I remember loving them in GT5/GT6 and now Larry is taking photos of one
Love this car, was my work desktop wallpaper for ages. That rear light setup looks really well on it too.
Ben Mich is a stand up guy. Every gridlife midwest, we get together for a few minutes and talk about rotaries and everything. Even helped him and the crew move around some cars. He's a very great person, the RX7 is better in person too!
Bravo standing ovation to the editor of this video
this had to be the coolest guy on earth, someone who I could just geek out about cars with lol.
The sound of the turbo is sooo addictive?!? 💖 You even got to drive it, you have the coolest job ever?!?!... 😄
My hero ❤️
Don't just trackem'
Driver cars are the only life.
It usually doesn't translate well to video, but that car looks rock-solid in the parts where Larry is driving it. Great job building it!
Larry is everyone's first lmao ;)😂 love watching these episodes! 🙏💯
Love this build! The mirrors and mazdaspeed bumper are so cool
Congrats on baby and great video, beautiful fd.
Happy to see I'm not the only one who used to garble the pronunciation of RE Amemiya exactly like Larry did
I’m glad to see Ben’s car getting some airtime, I always loved his S13. He’s a ClubFR OG and a nice dude.
Sick build! I'm taking a lot of inspiration from the FD builds of Japan that I've followed since the early 2000's and applying them to C5 and C6 Corvette, with a line of custom carbon parts if anyone is going TA with a Corvette or building a Corvette canyon killer.
Absolutely love your videos
I will own one some day! I love this build so much!
Great car. Great footage as usual. Legend!
Nice!! Good to see Ben on this. Great car!
larrys word-of-the-day calendar is.... Smooth :D
Bens the best nicest hardest working dude. And the car is so phenomenal
I've not met him, but I came here JUST to comment about how great he seems from this video. It's so great to see a real person in a UA-cam videos these days and an owner who just loves cars not the attention people get from cars.
Great video, great car. Doritos for life 👌
where my Illinois homies at? I live 15 minutes away from here and this was my first track I ever had a trackday at!
edit: Damn dude this guys is dope! he is just as likeable as Larry :)
I love seeing Ben's car on track! Its a bummer Gridlife South isn't happening this year.
The Mazda comp motor sold me on this vid! Awesome 👌!
One of the best looking RX-7 tail light assembly ! 💯👍
Great review on a well purpose built rx7. This is no poser rx7 owner or car. This rx7 is a breath of fresh air after seeing so many poser rx7s on youtube. I am currently building an rx7 for double duty and I run a street ported engine, divided 6262 pte turbo with a vmount. My car has all the supporting mods as well. Suspension by ohlins and so on and so on. I have been thinking of going to the 8374 iwg borg warner also but I hear about boost creep all the time. How do you keep from getting boost creep? Thanks for the review on the Sake Bomb brakes. Brap on brother and congrats on your build
Congrats on the feature Ben! -Julian
Great EP. This is FIRE.
“I’m not a fan of gutting cars!” RESPECT!
This is such a nice RX7, keep up the good work. Makes me want to build one, :-) but one project at a time, I am still building my FJ Cruiser reboot project; it is taking so damn long to complete.
The intro with Larry acting like Charlie Chaplin was so damn funny !
AWESOME BUILD LOVE IT
Amazin chapter, set up cool owner, amazing!
great guest and great car!!
One of the best looking RX7 feature on this channel
Great content.
The rx7's are such timeless cars, the 3rd gen the most, but I have a 84 first gen my dad has a 84 first gen, 88 second gen turbo 2 my uncle has a 74 repu and 71 rx2, we are kind of rotary people 😂😂 that's the culture in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
SA/FB > other RX7's
That’s dope
I’m speechless, that’s a truly gorgeous FD.
Tight tight tight yeah. Omg that was gold
I need more rotaries on this channel
LOVE those Regamasters!
If you treated the right way I see a lot of reliable rotary car...and rotary engine is my favorite engine ever made
Awesome!
Ben's a great dude, I bought some S13 parts from him back in the day and he took me to a parking lot in his car and did some nice donuts.
Yeah, Ben's always just an awesome dude who knows his stuff and enjoys cars. I think that came through in the video too.
white on white rx7 sitting on regamsters such a clean clean time attack build 10/10 execution beautiful fd.
Amazing FD3S one of the best looking
Thats enough to convince me to get a EFR 8374 for my FD.
Same.. lol. I have to rebuild my motor because coolant seal blew. But twins are on the way out and I just look at the mess of vacuum hoses and don't wanna know about it.
Larry is gonna want an FD. When you drive 1 you want 1. They are very special.
Another top level ride just WOW
My ultimate dream car can't get any better than that pull rotary power
Lads awesome video, what was that motorsport comp account details where you can register for racing?
Love Initial D mentions 😍
amazing amazing amazing!!!!
Great car , put some more track driving from these beasts in your videos .
Hi!
Nice job Bro
Is there a certain part besides the turbo that causes the whistling during acceleration? I love that sound.
The footage at 2:59 with the HUD containing the mini map is cool. Is there a full video like that?
I should have picked up one of these years ago.
Larry - I love all your Video's and pictures! What is the Japanese sounding song at the end of the Video!! Thank you!
Steve Bryant did you find it? I love this song i need it lol
What size rims fit in that re amemya fender kit? I can't decide on this kit or the new much more pricy gt3 widebody from FEED.
Oh yeah a fun fact about the AC systems in the IMSA cars, at least the Audi and Lamborghini, is that they only work off throttle. They’ll shut off when the throttle opens to minimize power loss.
Dope
That thing is beautiful 😍
Super cool owner
Whats the tune at the end? Sick videos larry !
Smooooth
You're the Chen Zhen of photography
"wutangben" - tbh, not the person i was expecting
Y'all should do some looking into getting an engine Mazda spec before you get yourself excited.
Especially going above stock power levels
sick wheels Desmond Regamaster Evo
Any one know the name of the Outro song that Larry always uses in his Hoonigan Autofocus videos? Been trying to figure it out for weeks 😅
Ben Yes!!!!!!
@22:21 and up I feel the steering wheel not 100% a lined. Is it or just my imagination?
Still better than super streets channel
11:06 who else put on their headphones for this?!
Ben seems like a really nice guy.
todays frace:
It's so Smooooth
Haven't clicked on a video so fast
Larry asks everyone to drive the car lol. I guess they can't say no in front of a camera haha
Hey guys anyone know the company hes talking about that sells/ manufacture the body parts on this car......website pls
wtf the car rotated so nice around the corners, must be really fun to drive
can i buy that gridlife poster somewhere?
YEAAAA
