Well done!
I’ve just finished my first rebuild last week (12A) and I know exactly what you are feeling on the first start.
IT'S ALIVE WOOOOOOO
Finally!😍
This is so inspiring to me as a kid who wants to get an FC & learn about it. thank you for this series & ur music choice is bangin m8
Thank you for the love and support😍 If you get yourself an FC feel free to reach out in case you need any advice. I'll help whereever I can✌️
genuinely this is the best youtube- series out rn, keep up the good work!
Thanks for the love and support mate🙏
That thing WANTED to run. Beautiful
I'm so happy for you. Must be the most amazing feeling, having done everything yourself.
This is top tier content you're producing. I watch your videos before all other new uploads. Enjoy your white comet!
Wow thanks for the love and support!🙏 Makes me very happy seeing people enjoy the videos😍
It really feels awesome but surreal at the same time seeing it turn over as I'm no mechanic by any means😅
Nice work! The first startup is always the most nerve-wracking. The coolant leak at that area of the thermostat housing is usually due to the fact that there are some shims that are missing on the threaded studs. The surface where the housing sits doesn't fully sit flush with other surfaces, so Mazda in their infinite wisdom used some shim spacers (very thin washers) on the threaded stud to make the surface flush. The bouncing idle is usually not from the idle air control valve but the TPS. The TPS are extremely finicky and if they are out just a little bit on adjustment the idle will bounce. Warm up the engine to operating temp and then you can adjust the TPS. Check the factory service manual on the procedure. Good luck!
Incredibly useful advice, thank you mate!🙏 I had to laugh out loud when I read "Some shims are missing" because now I finally know what the purpose of these shims is which I had left over after the rebuild😂
I will follow the advice and check over the FC once I'm back from Korea again🙏
Let’s gooo! 💪🏼
Good job buddy !!! Keep going !
Thanks man🙏
400nm = 295 ft/bs. That is insane. It ain't falling off. 👀😂
I hope so😂
Well done dude, I had a huge smile on my face when she kicked over, awesome job.
Thanks mate😍
Time to drift !!!!
That thing sounds HEALTHY! So happy for you!
Thanks man! I'm so glad it finally runs😍
Hell yeah! So happy to see it running finally
Me too man, me too!😂
Finally, it runs good, there still some things to do and thats the best part cause we will continue watching more videos 😂 until that rx7 will be drifting on touge. Well done man 🎉

i waited to see this day for a long while now. the engines sound was just so awesome
Yeah finally it runs! Sadly the sound really doesn't translate very well in the video but man in real life it sounds so mean...
@@moritzherr yeah i can only imagine, cant wait to get one now
Let's Gooo!
ive been watching since the beginning of this build, i absolutely love the car and the pink and black is such a nice touch
Thanks for thr support🙏 Happy you like the color combo!
🎉🎉 great to see it running!
Finally!😍
Congratulations I’ve been waiting so long for this and liked all of your videos!
Thank you for the awesome support man😍
@@moritzherryour welcome and your fc rx-7 is freaking awesome!
@@moritzherrwhen are you gonna complete your VW Golf Mk3 i am still waiting for that
@@iamnotmessi9560 There will be an update very soon! :) Once the FC is done I can focus on other projects again✌️ It was meant as a giveaway car once I reach 1000 subs but I didn't expect to hit it that fast so noe I'm kinda "stuck" with the RX-7😂
Great work so far man keep up‼️❤
Thanks man🙏
@@moritzherr can't wait to see this beast on the road and for the next video to drop
I'm not watching this until i'll find some good food to eat while watching this video
Hahah😂 I hope you enjoyed it man, thanks for the support!
congrats mortiz i really excited to see where this build go
Thank you man!🙏
Man this has me stoked to build my first engine
Go for it brother!🙏
@@moritzherr gotta get the outside wrapped up first but man you make it look easy, enjoy the hell out of that car
Mo-Army am staaaaart!!!! 🎉
wait 14 years ago was 2010 damn
Crazy to think about it right?
Let’s go dude so exciting to see this man. Been following you since you picked up this car so awesome to see!
Thanks for the support man! Glad you like it!🙌
Thumbs up! Well done pal, i know how it feels to nail a rebuild on your first time! What is your intention with the car, ofc u honna enjoy it, track it? Drift it? Show car or maybe touge ?
Thanks man :) Yeah it feels incredible! I will definetly not turn it into a show car. I want this thing to be a real driver mostly focussing on touge runs as I am living in the southern part of Germany where there are so many incredible mountain passes🙏
Yeeeaaahh!
Nice work man! so awesome to see it start
Thanks man🙌 Finally!
I’m hyped I’m hyped
I love your car
Same
Thanks man😍
cool video !
big ass W
👀
🫣
dont forget the re ameririya side mirrors for the fc like takashis fc. theyre quite rare i think so tho..
Already got them on my eBay wishlist😁 But yeah sadly they are very rare and if you come across a pair they are usually unreasonably expensive...
@@moritzherr yeahh, glad u are aware theyre a part of the build :) - love the series!
Yoooooo thats so cool it actually runs!! Congrats bro !!
Also 6:48 Why do you have so much vaseline??????
Thanks man! Btw. literally everyone who visits my shop asks me that question😂
When I bought all of the rebuild parts and tools I may have miscalculated how much vaseline I'd need for the rebuild😂
@@moritzherr hahahah well you are not running out of vaseline for a WHILE
A good one 👍
Thanks man!
👍👍👍👌
Just found your channel today and binge watched the complete RX-7 series. Great stuff! But I'm curious about something. It looks like you did an EGR delete. Will that pass the TÜV/HU? I also have an RX-7 FC turbo 2. But I still can't get it to start/run properly because I'm scared of even the smallest modifications and the TÜV.
Thanks man, glad you enjoy it! :) The answer to your question would be: "It depends..."
Doing a full emissions delete itself is totally fine for the TÜV. The Problem is the emissions test (AU)!
In my case, removing the air pump had literally no impact on emissions for some reason so my FC passed the AU with flying colors :) But that doesn't mean this will be the case for every FC out there. It really depends on how you warm up the catalytic converter before the emissions test I think as this is usually the airpumps job. If it is nice and hot it tends to work better and therefore gives you a better chance of passing.
Worst case though: You do a emissions delete, drive it nice and hot before the AU and commit tax fraud because you pay less taxes than you actually should for a car with worse emissions... In my case, it easily passed without the need of driving it hot but I will still replace the stock catalytic converter with a modern, free flowing and better working catalytic converter just to be safe as I want this thing to be longterm roadlegal! xD
@@moritzherr thank you so much for the explanation. That's good to know. I wanted to keep everything original but at this point I'd do anything to get it to run. I also checked my compression and it's below 70psi on both rotors. So I'll have to rebuild the engine. Fingers crossed that it isn't too worn down.
@@lukaseichberg Usually all of the emissions equipment on a rotary has not much to do with it running bad. Except when there are a bunch of vacuum leaks which these engines are very prone to having due to the ridiculous amount of vacuum piping. So the chance is pretty high that among the hundreds of vacuum lines, one is leaking xD
However in your case I guess it is a compression issue... 70psi is pretty low. Before the rebuild mine had 90psi and that was already relatively low. I will check the compression after the rebuild once the break in period is over.
I recommend doing a rebuild as it is really not that hard to do by yourself and it also teaches you a lot about your car which is the most fun part :)
If you need any help, let me know with a Instagram DM

Yo bro what gasket did u use for the exhaust manifold?
I bought a full gasket + O-Ring kit from PowerSeals Australia. It was included in that kit :)
@@moritzherrohh okay yeah i see i bought the same one ive been following up on your fc videos i have an fc too and have been reaserching since i am new to rotaries my question about the exhaust manifold was because i saw that it was two metal pieces and i was confused i didnt know if those were for the exhaust system or the manifold
I love the videos and the content you are making its shows you put a lot of effort and love into them i thankyou for that it would be great if i could get a response anyways thankyou
@@alejandromayen8526 Yeah no the gasket was actually for the exhaust manifold :) Some people say these types of gaskets are not good but I went with them anyways becaus I want to see for myself wheter or not they hold up. So far they hold up very nice and are much cheaper than the OEM $200 crap.
