I'm glad you enjoyed it man! :) For me it's always soo hard to determine what I should include in the video and which things I should leave out (Because they're simply not interesting to watch). But I'm happy I have made the right decision this time😀
glad to see the locks being upgraded to button press on the key given it's an old car haha (small detail but greatly increases practicality of the car)
I guess that will be pretty illegal just like everything else in Germany😂 But don't worry I've got some pretty big plans for the future of the FC and your suggestion will not be overlooked in that regard! :)
Nice to see you are making progress bro! I recently changed the door lock actuators in my car and I learned the hard way not to assemble anything before checking that everything works 😭 I am curious though with the key working the oposite way, perhaps you put the parts in the wrong order? (Driver side module on passenger)
Yeah it always bites you when you assemble anything before testing😂 No it doesn't matter whether it's the drivers ord the passenger side. The problem was actually that I installed the actuators backwards😂
Will you install a haltech ecu? I guess you will also streetport your plate since its already apart. Im not sure weather or not to go in full ham with ecu directly. Would be nice to do it later.
No I will not go with a standalone ECU. I really want to keep most of it very period correct and analog😁 Maybe I'll go with an oldschool HKS F-Con in the future. I was thinking about porting it but getting the porting templates shipped would have taken too much time which is why I have decided against it. But this is certainly not the first time, the engine will be out of the car :)
With the key, does it not work where you can twist the key twice to unlock the whole car? Generally it’s not that inconvenient where you have to unlock both doors separately.
That's a great little hint, I will try that tomorrow! Personally I just really always hated it going up to the car and manually unlocking it😅 I've installed the same excact system on my R32 Skyline back then and ever since having this practical feature, I never want to miss it again. Just a small thing that changes the entire experience :)
Hey I just got an fc 1988 and I want to upgrade to the s5 tail light! I was wondering where did you buy yours to get them brand new from Mazda and how much they cost!
You can hit up your local Mazda dealership :) They are usually able to get parts like these for you. Personally I bought a set of brand new ones through eBay directly from Japan. But they are usually not very cheap. You can expect to pay around $800 for a pair including shipping and tax.
Hab gestern mal geschaut ob ich die Fateeye Lampen auch für meinen E34 bekomme. Finde aber nichts über die Zulassung. Hast du bei der Bestellung eine aBG geliefert bekommen?
Very hard to pinpoint... I would highly suggest not doing it the way I do because at this point I've spent muuch more on the FC than what it will be worth if I sold it at the end😂 I'll just leave it at that🥲
No they are the JDM taillights. In europe we have the narrower ones. I ordered them brand new directly from Japan :) Just look it up on eBay, there are multiple shops offering them.
Hey! I just DM'd you on Instagram but it wouldn't let me send more than one message. I didn't know that so u've got only a 'Heyo' from me there. I'll be able to explain why i was writing if you reply to the chat. Or just like the message.
Fried electronics officially UNFRIED!😂 Guess I'm an electrician now xD Make sure to stick along and subscribe to stay updated :) Enjoy!
Thx so much for showing the electrioncs work. Many of youtubers don't want to show it because it's annoying

Sure does!😁 Ever since I intalled it on the R32 back then, I never want to miss it again...

Finally! I was waiting so long for this video!

Thanks mate, glad you liked it😍
What an amazing series to follow, you are doing such a great job detailing and explaining. Keep posting champ!!!!
Thank you very much for the support and the feedback man! :)
Thanks for your videos I was looking very long for a rx7 fc build in details and now I found the perfekt one. Very good videos!
Thank you for the love and support mate🙏 Really glad you're enjoying the series! :)
Not sure if it's road legal where you're at but you should consider doing a headlight projector retrofit. Would be modern, brighter, and OEM+.
I guess that will be pretty illegal just like everything else in Germany😂 But don't worry I've got some pretty big plans for the future of the FC and your suggestion will not be overlooked in that regard! :)
Amazing videos man! keep up the good work
Thanks for the support mate! :)
JDM lights looking far better. Would be cool if you delete the euro plate lights. Keep going!
I think so too! Yeah getting rid of thr Euro Plate Lighting would be cool, but I'll have to get a complete new bumper for that :(
Or retrofit a rear view camera into the piece that holds the bulb 🤔
@@moritzherr Oder wir machen das mal in einer Winteraktion. Bei mir ja auch zu gemacht. :)

not the pope😂😂

Definetly! I think they are much better than the Euro tails
Nice video!!!!Do you sell your old tail lights?
Thanks mate :) Sadly they are already sold...

Da isser wieder! 🥳🥳🥳

How expensive would you say it is to do such a rebuild, all the small parts add up im guessing?
Very hard to pinpoint... I would highly suggest not doing it the way I do because at this point I've spent muuch more on the FC than what it will be worth if I sold it at the end😂 I'll just leave it at that🥲
The pope on the engine bay 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hallelujah 🙏😂
Where did you order those taillights? did you just contact your local mazda dealer?
No they are the JDM taillights. In europe we have the narrower ones. I ordered them brand new directly from Japan :) Just look it up on eBay, there are multiple shops offering them.
Bekommt man die Jdm Rückleuchten Eingetragen?
