“Its so low, and that’s on 18’s, some people do this kit on 17’s” Jimmy it’s all about tire size! A 17 with some chunky tires will be bigger than 18’s with tiny stretched tires, the FC doesn’t need raised up just needs some slightly bigger tires!
I would hands down use the stock turbo mirrors, they are close enough to not be that noticable of a difference, but they are larger, so that probably makes them better at.. you know, mirroring.
Jimmy the FC RX7 turned out insane it looks so sick as all your cars do you have such a good eye for the style of your cars from the style to the fitment to the clean oem plus look and not over done it's perfection and the ghost like refrence between you and spoon killed me the shenanigans are always hilarious between you and the gang cant wait for the upcoming builds keep up the great work 👍
Jimmy this machine needs more rubber. Vargas is right, the tires look like rubber bands one size bigger in height and width and a little higher 👌.That is if you love this kit.🤣if you don't send it. It looks badass Anyway. Love from Portugal.✌️
On an FC the lenses above the turn signal are called "flash to pass" lenses. Allows you to flash the brights without waiting for the headlights to pop up.
The FC RX-7 looks really dope it looks like pure history and should be in a museum for JDM cars but if I had to change one thing I would go with 17's over 18s on it
I so love that jimmy’s got a good couple of Puerto Ricans working for him. I mean that in the best way. Between spoon,Anthony and Steve and shit non Puerto Rican Brian. He’s in great hands. And shout out to all the guys. He surrounds himself with just good people. Jimmy is like the front man of the band.
Jimmy and spoon and the Vargas brothers really out did yourselves this car is one of my favorites it was well worth the wait for completion great job boys!!!
The FC is sweet, great job as usual Oaks Garage! Spoons attention to detail on fitting the kit is worth his pain. You could buy a couple of sheets of 1/2 in. white round shiny vinal stickers to cover all the unused bracket holes in the engine bay and if they color match good it will look shaved and filled, if they don't match you could paint them with the coded paint. I'm wondering how many viewers are old enough to get Austins, "Space car" soundbite....lol
13:50 - 'you sure, this feels wrong', 'can you pull it out?'Haha😂. Puerto Rican Snow Job. 😎 Loll Space Ship came out so sick. Burn off a couple rubber bands, and slap on some, Blitz lip protecting, ride quality improving, and just necessary, 45-50 series sidewalls on that, bucket of bees, and let's here that 13B do it's wonder, and seal the deal, and have another ridiculous whip to play with before salt hits the Ro-Add, and 8 months of hibernation begins. Here in the North at least.... Good job ladies. Happy birthday Austin🎉
looking around the shop now is insane from when I first started watching. it used to just be the red z that looked sick in the corner. now I see perfect fd’s, s15’s, silver moss, chaser. like gah damn Jimmy really built like the best collection of cars I stg
I’m a time traveler and because of where jimmy ends up storing this car it ends up surviving the apocalypse and sits for over 150 years before it’s discovered again when found it goes into a collection but when that owner ends up passing away this car ends up selling for over 6.5billion dollars at a auction this happens in year 2342 and mazda hasn’t existed for over 290 years very little records of this company still exist in our time
I LOVE IT!!! The kit SET IT OFF!!! The OE brackets on the kit was a PERFECT IDEA!!! It’s so clean and slick!!!! And it’s got the speed, sound and stance now it’s ready to carry the Big O!!! Great Job Guys!!!!!
The top hole in the bumper is for a straight through clear lens for a "passing light". The headlights stay level when they lower and whe you just flash your highbeams they shine through the clear lens. It took me a while to figure out wtf it was. The car is looking siiick tho!
Upper Lenses in the bumper are for flash to pass when the headlights are folded down. More common out of the United States. And yes if you flash the high beams when the headlights are in the down position they will still flash and the headlight bulb is pointed in the forward position when the headlight is up or down.
Jim I rarely comment on vids but I just wanted to say this video made me absolutely fall in love with the FC RX7 chassis. Cannot wait to see what 2024 brings!
I got my FC in February this year and it’s been so wicked seeing you do a build on one! I’ve got a BN sports kit to fit and man I’ve learned some great tips off you guys! What a sick RX7 !!!
I have driven an FC and I will say it is the better looking RX7 I know a lot of people say the FD is the better looking but to me it will always be the RX7 FC and that kit keeps the lines and the look but enhance it just enough. You can for big aero stick a wing on the back.
Happy belated brithday Austin! Awesome work on the FC and not to mention the new PRO car you're gonna build, its gonna be epic. Think we are all here for the epic content!
Yeah the 7 is looking badass now that you got the kit installed Jimmy but you gotta get out and drive the cars bro thats what I like to see you and the team building cars and using them ! Cant wait to see the 7 on the streets bro ! Happy belated birthday Austin ! We all know ganadors Spoon ganadors !
Clean AF but needs a bit more sidewall under it.
100% wouldn't expect anything more from tire shine bros
And a roof wing
It definitely needs a thicker tire.
She needs some more meat on her feet
Facts
*Tucks rear tire* --> "It's not that slammed" - Jimmy O '23
Nah that’s valid, you can tuck tire and still be high. Depends a lot on wheel/tire/car.
Tuck the hub
@@stylepoints.180neither is of the car ain’t on the ground
Imagine some thicker tires and a triple chrome half cage OH MY LORD that's so sweet Jimmy. You guys did amazing!
I was legit just about to type the EXACT same thing.
@TheBANDEMIC and a smaller front wheel
Ooh triple chrome cage sounds nuts. Def needs meatier tires
Dj is touching himself somewhere while reading this

Jimmy it’s all about tire size! A 17 with some chunky tires will be bigger than 18’s with tiny stretched tires, the FC doesn’t need raised up just needs some slightly bigger tires!
It just needs bigger tires and it will be perfect. Awesome job, can’t wait to see it rip.
A taller tire would look much better in my opinion. The kit opens up the wheel opening so much it looks odd with the current overall diameter.
Did he sell the yellow FD?
@@connoisseuroftigolbittsno they talked about it in the video and you can see it under the plastic in the backgrounf
love it. could use a little more sidewall imo
Can’t wait to see the FC with some tires on it. Thing is sick AF
I agree with Mike. Needs more tire!
The 18s are good, but I think they need more tire. They look so tiny in the front wheel wells with those tires.
I would hands down use the stock turbo mirrors, they are close enough to not be that noticable of a difference, but they are larger, so that probably makes them better at.. you know, mirroring.

She needs some meat on the tires but FC's never look bad. Shouts to spoon, dude has crazy talent
Spoon has been one ur best moves jimmy this team work shows it makes the dreams work

That Jetson's transition was nasty. Car looks so clean. Soft spot for FC's for sure!

FB Guys know the struggle
Good morning family🔥
Jimmy likes to get rowdy with his tailpipe.
I'm not an air ride kind of guy, but if there was ever a car that needed it its that rx7
The cherry on top has to be the rear window visor.
Happy belated birthday Austin

The thin sidewalls makes it look goofy. Please get bigger tires for it. Looks great otherwise.
Vargas knows what's up!!!
Happy birthday from a fellow Austin, Austin!!! So glad you've enjoyed the transition and elevated the boys' footage game🤝🫶
Time to slap some Steve spec 20inch wheels on that thing
Jimmy and spoon and the Vargas brothers really out did yourselves this car is one of my favorites it was well worth the wait for completion great job boys!!!

“Should’ve put tires on it before you showed me” 💀 that was funny

7:15 that spaceship to hip hop sound transition was awesome ✌️
Foresight makes the best FC wing, and its not even close.
White, always looks clean! Then you detail it and it’s blindingly bright!!
This car is 😘🤌🏻 chefs kiss, buuutttt my bois it needs a roof spoiler bro!!!!
Been watching for years and yet jimmy still amazes me from first ever video till now it's amazing how much effort not only you but your crew much love
I’m a time traveler and because of where jimmy ends up storing this car it ends up surviving the apocalypse and sits for over 150 years before it’s discovered again when found it goes into a collection but when that owner ends up passing away this car ends up selling for over 6.5billion dollars at a auction this happens in year 2342 and mazda hasn’t existed for over 290 years very little records of this company still exist in our time

ALWAYS loved me a 7..........planning on selling the wife and kids for one now 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of the best looking cars ever made for sure.
Jimmys Recipe: Kit, Wheels, and e36 m3 replica mirrors.😂😂
Wheels - kit - OP mirrors
Beautiful rx7🤟🏾
Has to be the best looking car he’s built so far. Brings back memories of my FB/ SA22 that set next to my TR-7 convertible. Long time ago.
The top hole in the bumper is for a straight through clear lens for a "passing light". The headlights stay level when they lower and whe you just flash your highbeams they shine through the clear lens. It took me a while to figure out wtf it was. The car is looking siiick tho!
Upper Lenses in the bumper are for flash to pass when the headlights are folded down. More common out of the United States.
And yes if you flash the high beams when the headlights are in the down position they will still flash and the headlight bulb is pointed in the forward position when the headlight is up or down.
FTP Flash To Pass lenses is what there are called on the front bumper lenses... looks beautiful Jimmy! 👌👌👌
Jim I rarely comment on vids but I just wanted to say this video made me absolutely fall in love with the FC RX7 chassis. Cannot wait to see what 2024 brings!
That's a wicked build #1
The FC content makes me want to work on my own FC!
😊 is even worse when he's going to..." not drive it" 😮
jimmy saying "its not that slammed" and i cant even see the top of the rear tire is funny asf. this is good stuff
Probably one of the sickest FC's I've seen. And this is your first one! Amazing work
18:27 three rotor with a big turbo and fender exit!
a lil NOS for the response.
America- single handedly keeping the chrome industry in business
After the third wreck in the FB back in the 90’s I planned on picking up a FC but life happened and never did.
Nicely done👍
Jimmy’s FC and FD are giving me straight Initial D vibes 🔥
100% one of the best builds on the channel
I got my FC in February this year and it’s been so wicked seeing you do a build on one! I’ve got a BN sports kit to fit and man I’ve learned some great tips off you guys! What a sick RX7 !!!
I have driven an FC and I will say it is the better looking RX7 I know a lot of people say the FD is the better looking but to me it will always be the RX7 FC and that kit keeps the lines and the look but enhance it just enough. You can for big aero stick a wing on the back.
The look from the rear corner is hard. Great build.
Dude Jim this thing looks absolutely immaculate! Nice work everyone involved in the build
That fc is so clean thats one of my life goals a white turbo 2 has always been my dream car
Those tires are killing the look
It’s called the ftp lense - flash to pass. Jdm cars we get in NZ have a bulb running light there.
The upper bumper lense is called high pass, headlight shines through it so the headights dont have to rotate up.
Spoon is a scientist
There’s no words that car is just so good looking
Put wax on the sidewall stops dirt from sticking, and makes it deeper black.
Jimmy needs to bag this thing Jimmy needs to own a bagged whip..vote with me people 😊
Happy belated Austin! Your camerawork has been such a huge contribution to the channel, and I'm excited to see the JZX goin sideways!
Yeah that kit needs some bigger tires a clean track fit would be fire!
It’s so good love the white. A little taller tire and a smidge higher.
My fav build!
Can't wait to see u drive it!
That side skirt making it look like the sides are carved out looks sick with the white
Clean!!!
I like the Bomex mirrors and i recommend the RMagic ductail spoiler if you put anything on there!
The FC is a proff that Spoon is what this channel needed
love this rx7 series! i bought vert tails thinking they weren't any different than coupes, lesson learned but they still compliment better than s4
i agree with vargas, the on;ly thing it needs is some bigger beef for those wheels, you want some soidewall, it would set it off
I feel like Jimmy is living the OG Need for Speed Underground in 2023. The car is HOT lads!
Sorry to say it Jim but Vargas might be right! Think it needs a bigger tyre setup! Current setup looks a little lost with the kit on!
Might be the best build on the channel.
Never been as huge of a fan for an FC. But damn thats such a beautiful looking car. No one does kits on them. And the kit hits hard on it!
watching this build come together really inspires me to finish my FC
Happy belated brithday Austin! Awesome work on the FC and not to mention the new PRO car you're gonna build, its gonna be epic. Think we are all here for the epic content!
1000% coldest 🥶 🥶 🥶 🥶 build on the channel
The famous last words "Its not even that slammed." Then proceeds to scrape before being on the ground. God i love you guys😂❤
Dude knocked it out the freaking park broski!!!!!!!!!
Nah, the tire/wheel combo hits RIGHT on this. Definitely does not need bigger tires, thats what he has drift cars for.
Yeah the 7 is looking badass now that you got the kit installed Jimmy but you gotta get out and drive the cars bro thats what I like to see you and the team building cars and using them ! Cant wait to see the 7 on the streets bro ! Happy belated birthday Austin ! We all know ganadors Spoon ganadors !
The FC is so close to perfect. Best car in your garage.
Meatier tire will help and fill the arch aswell, think will make the kit look better aswell. Still stretch a bit but atleast have more sidewall
The Fc Definitely became one of my favorite builds you have done! From the motor build to the final touches is beyond clean🙏🏼
The FC, the K20 S14 and the black S15 are just on another level 🥵🥵hands down my favorite cars of your collection congrats!
😂 I've done the same thing with pennies. 10 cent washers vs 1 cent pennies, and I saved a trip to the hardware store 💪🏽
Looks mint my Bro. The body kit, ride height & wheel combo are on point
Just came back from buffing to this video for lunch. I see the progress Jimmy
OMG it's so low!!!! If its works for you though! I would want more tire on that to keep that kit safe. It looks so good!
that fc is the BEST looking fc i have ever seen, noice job jimmy
dude that space sounds into that lofi was a great edit!
Such a dope car! Can’t beat the style of a properly kitted FC
Guess I have been watching this channel for long, knew instantly it was ganador mirrors
