I used to have an FC, but it was an NA automatic. Bought it for $1000 not running, put a fuel pump in which cost me $50, drove it for a little over a year and sold it for $1000.
@SpecificationR its probably like teh muh being a chinese scam app anyway. Tho some of there garbage is genuinely a good deal like some of there clothes.
you don’t HAVE to buy from them if it’s too scary for you lmao. If you have an iPhone, Samsung or Nikes you’re contributing to child abuse and human rights violations but that’s totally fine right?💀complaining abt a sponsorship is stupid, without them we get 0 content and he doesn’t pay bills.
@belchbat9955 I have sponsors on my channel and if a product is crap, I say it's crap. I'm not going to promote something that I don't feel is worth the money 🤷♂️
You're the problem. You don't care now, so don't expect anyone else to when something happens to you later. Oh, btw, can I have your email and all your passwords please...like you said, it's all out there already.
😂do you have an apple or Samsung product ? Or maybe Nikes ? If so you’re contributing to child abuse and numerous human rights violations. You ever see a sweat shop? Or a cobalt mine? 😂TEMU is just a re-seller of items. And YOU don’t HAVE to buy from them if you’re too scared. This is how he pays bills. Through sponsorships and my 20$ blender been great to me. If you like the content stfu and be thankful for TEMU
Over 10 years ago now, a friend of mine named Andrew had a White FC Turbo II that was built and decked out, Coilovers, Mint Interior, Built Motor w/big turbo on 20lb+ that was his baby. I had an STi at the time on the stock turbo w/E85, and he was down to swap cars for a day. It still sticks out in my mind as one of the most memorable cars I've ever driven. The sound of the ported rotary loping at idle, the smell of the pre-mix, the 2-stroke type power band....it was like a CR500 incarnated into car form. A few times since then, I've been very tempted to buy a blown up RX8 and do a big single, and this video reminds me why I still want to get around to doing that!
Angel is a well-known dude in the rotary world here on the east cost. Back when my brother had his FC's i got the chance to meet the guy. Very outstanding guy who loves to help the east cost rotary people and super knowledgeable as well. Definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to get into the rotary scene.
Too bad they absolutely wrecked their california reputation. Known for good knowledge, but they under-delivered on a ton of builds and left people hanging like crazy.
Rob Dahm made me a huge fan of rotaries, so much so, that I took my dad to the Pikes Peak Hillclimb a couple weeks ago because I knew Rob would be there with his 3-rotor. Definitely wasn't disappointed.
Yes they are worth it.. however understand the compromises. It's cool, but they are NOT low maintainence. The more you want from it, the more you need to pamper it and work on it. But the experience of a rotary ICE... it's on it's own special plateau.
The FC is often overlooked is because it was designed as a GT car, rather than the raw sport car of the FB and FD. That’s why it is more comfortable and enjoyable.
What I mean when I say I want an RX-7. The FD is an instant classic and its remembered for a reason but for some reason I have always loved the FC so much more. What sold me years ago was a red FC on some brass colored Work TE37's...god I still think about that car at least once a day, easily the cleanest RX-7 I have seen to this day and its been about 8 years now.
...and to think I sold a 91 Turbo as a rolling chassis (everything still there), EMS, dual stage BC, dual N1 exhaust (omglol), and all the other crap in it for about 1800 bucks. Granted this was like in 2004. Oh wellsies. Glad to see them still going, even more so here in VA :D
My first turbocharged car was an FC. It was in 2002 and nobody knew how to work on them and UA-cam wasn’t a thing. So I really had a hard time learning about it. I miss that car and wish I could own it now.
I hope to have my 87 Turbo II (pretty much full) restoration back in driving condition in the next few years. I keep coming across FC videos and it makes me want to get it done faster but i know to do it faster means cutting corners.
The FB came with both a 12A, a 13B-DESI, as well as 12A-T, the FC came with the 13B-DEI and the 13B-T, and of course, the FD had the 13B-REW.... just to clarify a statement you made in the beginning. And "heaven" to me, is either a J or PP 20B, or same 33B (5 rotor)... I prefer the "odd" rotor count sound personally, especially with proper porting and proper exhaust (even when turbocharged)
Love your content, man. Been a long time supporter. For that, it's tough seeing you have to stoop down to take a Temu sponsorship. I'm down to sub to a Patreon if you had one. I'll get some merch too. You deserve better
This is so damn cool. The FC is my favorite body style. I feel like im in a weird minority here but for some reason if you debadge this and a MK3 Toyota Supra and park them next to each with both not running I'd have a hard time telling the difference cause the bodies look very similar. But regardless i love the FC. Favorite RX7 though the rotory aspect is a whole nother animal that I'm not sure I'd be down to deal with. And im not a fan of swapping in engines that never belonged inside in the first place or isn't the same brand.
I love those cars I use it in my main Toyko Xtream Racing games and there easy to tuned. I used to own a 89 model when I found it through my friends family down the house abandoned and bought it for $200...
We built the car below with two FC'S, the GTU and a gxl. We produced tne 88 fc3s gtu, 6port with the modified pineapple racing Street Port template from the person who ran the Mazda Star racing engine building! It's na and Mike got to drive it and he just kept saying to my dad "this Bridgeport really pulls up top". As long as you don't mess with the way Mazda had it you won't have problems with the low-end torque myth! Think about physics for a second and the fact that you have two Doritos that weigh several pounds moving around add idol with more potential energy than any idling 4-cylinder. You just have to think about it and you'll understand. We also have an 85 FB with a 12a and all Atkins aviation inside. Tokico 5-way adjustable illumina all around. The FC is terrifyingly capable of producing grip and in roads as twisty as the dragon or the pig trail in Arkansas it won't break loose. The second generation RX7 and Supra are probably the most overlooked and best handling of the two. You're not doing much of anything with that solid rear end in the FB and the FC is a scalpel that unless you are capable it will make the Porsche Widowmaker look like a joke! The best part of all is having a full ceramic wrapped header with functional 6 ports! All you have to do is keep the smog pump on and tap off a vacuum from it and the RPM opens it nearly identical to the stock setup😂😂😂 Oh and they're both red with gray interiors the holy Grail of the time. That blue is the second best interior color!
Love the video! But like every other comment is saying, the TEMU ad almost made me click away... I understand sponsors are needed for you to keep doing this, but TEMU (and online casinos) should be a No Go
If Mikey still had the rotary swapped Bug, that would be nuts to drive. Also, I can't make it on the 14th to film my Accord. Now I know to spam your inbox like you told us to do so during the 2hr stream. Lol. I'll get something ready I promise!
I think is time for thia guy to invest in better camera and audio quality his videos still sound and look from 2015😅 maybe with the temu sponsorship he can get decent equipment on there 😯
I would love to own an FC. Preferably a T2 but to find a rust free one is like finding a unicorn. Atleast here in Canada. And if it's clean people wants your first born son for it
I do wonder sometimes if I should ask someone like TDiB or Doug D. to review good condition stock 5MT Turbo II FC before I do any substantial mods to it like coil overs, chassis stiffening, and power upgrades. Maybe if I lived in the Georgiana's or California. Although, I'm not sure if they would even be interested in reviewing my car. It is just an 80's Mazda to most people after all.
somebody should make a notchback for the FC like the 3rd gen firebirds... i kinda want a black firehawk with a notchback and a widebody kit, with a kitt tracer. shit would be pretty sick
Hey tdib you wanna drive my unmodified limited edition RX7 FB? I'm nowhere near Virginia tho. In Wisconsin lol. Well to be fair I think the previous owner put an aftermarket exhaust. It also has the carbureted 12A not 13B. It sounds pretty gnarly!
Everyone complaining about Temu, but it could be worse, it could be everyone's favorite mobile game...i will not say it... Also, i had an FC3S, i though the FD was the only one that came turbo
Bro, taking temu isnt a huge issue. No sweat there, but don't get easy to mess up products from temu. Get stuff like a screwdriver set or shirts like my man showed. Late tdib

I’m so honored. Thank you for loving my car almost as much as I do 😂 It really was made for my style and I’m glad you loved it.
Dude, it's really cool. Thank you for putting the effort into keeping the rotary🔥
U guys built a cool car. I want ur hubby to 4rotor turbo swap my 03 audi rs6 itd be soo cool
Wheels?
Thank you for keeping the awesome car Alive
You've got good taste, that car is slick as hell
I can't believe Temu got you
My girlfriend loves it

Temu is legit for fishing gear 😂
Homie I said the same thing as soon as he said it 😂
Oh shit. I knew people are gonna shit on the TEMU sponsor😂😂
Get your money, but I will NEVER give them any personal information
The hate is real
Pls lose TEMU as a sponsor - junk-fake-and was hacked twice already dumping customer data to lord-knows-where.
Your information is already out there to “lord knows where” doesn’t matter anymore
Bro let blue make money. Who cares
Wrong mindsets.

We all love the video but choose your sponsors wisely
Exactly
Agreed!

Imagine having your car reviewed on a popular youtube channel just to have Temu to be the sponsor…

The threads on RX7club from when he had his shop in Cali say otherwise lol
Too bad they absolutely wrecked their california reputation. Known for good knowledge, but they under-delivered on a ton of builds and left people hanging like crazy.
@@Odins-Dad Isn't the west coast drama the other Vargas brother?
I painted this and made the diffuser for Mike last year, this things sounds amazing! Glad it’s getting the attention it deserves
Shaking my head at the temu ad man. Bunch of scams and crappy products
Temu as a sponsor 🤢
What’s the problem I just got myself a crankshaft for my car for an awesome price!
@@wackoterp7026 crazy bot
Rob Dahm made me a huge fan of rotaries, so much so, that I took my dad to the Pikes Peak Hillclimb a couple weeks ago because I knew Rob would be there with his 3-rotor. Definitely wasn't disappointed.
All the Temu comments 😂
Great to see you back to your roots with wild builds
That electric buzzer is giving me PTSD nightmares… if you know you know! 😂
The FC has always been my favorite RX7.
The Temu ad is giving David lots of engagement comments!
Yes they are worth it.. however understand the compromises. It's cool, but they are NOT low maintainence. The more you want from it, the more you need to pamper it and work on it. But the experience of a rotary ICE... it's on it's own special plateau.
Gross sponsor. Maintain dignity.
He had his eye on a new car
TEMU is paying him to get the name out there, everyone watching could avoid using TEMU and he’d still make his bread. No need to cause an uproar
The FC is often overlooked is because it was designed as a GT car, rather than the raw sport car of the FB and FD. That’s why it is more comfortable and enjoyable.
I regret selling my 87 Turbo II everyday
I sold an fd 20 years ago and I still regret it
@@Scott_Buchanan 100%
Oh man the shift buzzer. Had 2 fc’s in my youth. Super fun cars
What I mean when I say I want an RX-7. The FD is an instant classic and its remembered for a reason but for some reason I have always loved the FC so much more. What sold me years ago was a red FC on some brass colored Work TE37's...god I still think about that car at least once a day, easily the cleanest RX-7 I have seen to this day and its been about 8 years now.
I was the second owner of a '87 Turbo II mildly modified and it was a blast! I loved that car! The Vargas bros are good building "Doritos" cars
A compound turbocharged 4G63 Snow White FC is a dream car of mine…
Used to own FC3S with TD-04 turbo back in the early 90s. It made around 300hp, and was a really fun car for drifting.
I know that face! Soon as I saw Michael, I thought "huh, how did I know this was a Vargas car?" Lol
Owned two FC black verylt that were mint. These cars are monsters on the highway. That's where they shine. I would love to have another again.
TEMU isnt a good look my dude
...and to think I sold a 91 Turbo as a rolling chassis (everything still there), EMS, dual stage BC, dual N1 exhaust (omglol), and all the other crap in it for about 1800 bucks. Granted this was like in 2004. Oh wellsies. Glad to see them still going, even more so here in VA :D
I think it’s definitely overlooked first. GEN was really cool but really small I think the 2nd gen great looking car reminded me of the Porsche 944.
Every time I see a video with a FC, I wish I kept mine. It was a 1988 Mazda RX-7 SE (NA & Auto). So many swap/build options now.
Never been a fan of FCs and I owned one, dont miss it at all. I miss my RX4 coupe and FB s2 madly though
Easily the best looking FC I’ve seen
Accepting Temu as a sponsor is disgusting. I subbed, best of luck mate
She is so beautiful. I miss my car. I had a 95 twin turbo just exactly like this blue one same exact color
Got my $1 camera today, thanks pal
My first turbocharged car was an FC. It was in 2002 and nobody knew how to work on them and UA-cam wasn’t a thing. So I really had a hard time learning about it. I miss that car and wish I could own it now.
Your daily dose of cool ranch incoming
86' NA was my first car. Fucking loved that thing. The beeping when you hit high RPMs brings me back lol
Holy shit that thing sounds insane 😮💨
I hope to have my 87 Turbo II (pretty much full) restoration back in driving condition in the next few years. I keep coming across FC videos and it makes me want to get it done faster but i know to do it faster means cutting corners.
that turbo sounds crazy every time it kicks in
The FB came with both a 12A, a 13B-DESI, as well as 12A-T, the FC came with the 13B-DEI and the 13B-T, and of course, the FD had the 13B-REW.... just to clarify a statement you made in the beginning.

It’s not just the most overlooked, it’s the best too
Gawd damn man the turbos sound like the devil Z or like the turbo ae86 from initial D some magnificent sounds I swear
This man would do anything for money
If you knew this man you'd not say that
get that bread david you got bills to pay fam get them sponsors!
Wish twin turbo setups were more common in things other then stuff with V8s or Lamborghinis because they just look so much cooler the singles
Of course it's a great car, it's a Mazda. They f'in rule
Love your content, man. Been a long time supporter.
For that, it's tough seeing you have to stoop down to take a Temu sponsorship.
I'm down to sub to a Patreon if you had one.
I'll get some merch too. You deserve better
I would do the same. Read way to many bad things about temu
This is so damn cool. The FC is my favorite body style. I feel like im in a weird minority here but for some reason if you debadge this and a MK3 Toyota Supra and park them next to each with both not running I'd have a hard time telling the difference cause the bodies look very similar.

yeah lol
Praise the Jebus brothers and sisters!
Looks like the car I started Gran Turismo 2 with back in the day.
I love those cars I use it in my main Toyko Xtream Racing games and there easy to tuned. I used to own a 89 model when I found it through my friends family down the house abandoned and bought it for $200...
This is how most of all the old jdm mod turbo cars was sounding ! But people today all they know is tial bov etc
The rev chime 👌
This is a such a clean looking example

I think is time for thia guy to invest in better camera and audio quality his videos still sound and look from 2015😅 maybe with the temu sponsorship he can get decent equipment on there 😯
Man..I miss my FC. I bought one out of high school for $600 bucks.
i can’t believe he accepted temu as a sponsor
I love the exterior but he needs to finish that interior now man
I had a 88 non turbo. It was my favorite car. I’ve always wanted another one. Just a turbo one. Lol
Dorito powerplant + Soccer ball sized turbo = bliss
Always loved the body style
I would love to own an FC. Preferably a T2 but to find a rust free one is like finding a unicorn. Atleast here in Canada. And if it's clean people wants your first born son for it

All these people complaining about the sponsor yet bet half of them won’t support your merch or pateroen
My first car was a boosted fc ;) beautiful car
you helped me get a 3000GT VR-4... Why you gotta make me want an FC more than I already do?
FC is king of all RX7s!😈
wastegate+bov combo sounds like an SNES sound effect in a video game
It's not a blow off valve making that sound, that is turbo flutter.
Nah, gotta drop the temu
Really cool car. And a great car to defend against the v8 swap lol.
4:00 As someone with a red/maroon interior FC, the truth hurts.😢😂
thanks TDB, now FC prices will spike just like the cobalt ss prices did lol
That blowoff sound is really something else.. I feel like it's 2002 again.
Everyone complaining about Temu, but it could be worse, it could be everyone's favorite mobile game...i will not say it...
Also, i had an FC3S, i though the FD was the only one that came turbo
I'm dumb sometimes, I forgot there literally was an FC Turbo
''as im driving it its actually pretty quiet'' BRAP BRAP BRAP BRAP BRAP BRAP BRAP BRAP
The FD RX-7 is the sexiest looking sub-$60k production car available in America of the past 50 years... Change my mind...
There all beautiful cars
Vargas for the W and the views!!!!
Great Video David
How long was the FC in production for
Ive always wanted a RX7 FD or FC but ive heard so many negatives about the rotary
You need to get with jimmyO and drive some of his cars.
Bro, taking temu isnt a huge issue. No sweat there, but don't get easy to mess up products from temu. Get stuff like a screwdriver set or shirts like my man showed.
Late tdib
the bov/WG..thats og. Bring those back!

Love how people are getting on their high horse about Temu yet you're the same bunch of muppets to buy a chinese turbo and chinese rods
