Hay Jimmy, I;m also a big man (6 ft) and my cousin owns a 93 CYM rx7. He installed recaro rz seats which are big dude friendly but hurt after 40 minutes since we roadtriped the car. just lyk before you drop like10k on used seats :)
@@spicec0rp crap seats? Are you Stupid? Or slow? You need to be grabbed by your nose and swung around in a circle until you get dizzy and throw up on yourself.
Dude, when Steve talked about the fender mounted mirrors, I thought a FD with fender mounted mirrors would fit him crazy. Love to see how he turns into a car guy. This man needs to get a project car asap.
Stevie's my bro! Love seeing the passion taking shape! 10 years ago, I could basically only change a flat and then I found the CT UA-cam crew. Watching has taught me so much, I now do all the work on our cars!
Jimmies dream FD is THE dream FD!! Now BC’s and the Cerberus wheels, would finish it off perfectly. ‘90’s vibes all day every day 🫶🏻🫶🏻 Oh, and if I ever find myself in CT, I wanna get a nice cold beer with Stevie. He’s the chillest dude I’ve ever seen. Big love for Stevie.
You should paint a rectangle on the ground a bright color, so you can always put cars with darker paint/skirts/etc to create contrast. Would make it easier to see it versus the darkness of the concret
Your part choice is top tier... Feed skirts, 99 spec wing, 99 spec front and lip, it can't be beat! Last piece of the puzzle, gotta have the 99 spec tails. Your build are always sick tho, can't wait to follow the FD's progress.
The key chains are amazing very high quality I got one the last drop I’m a welder and I do a lot of work with Sparks and the keychain has held up great
The primer on that new oem front bumper is reversible and you have to strip it to have a lasting paint job, just ran into that with my new old stock front bumper from mazda a few months ago
I'm so hyped that you're doing a '99 Spec conversion! This combo (R1 RX-7 in CYM with 99 Spec factory aero) is literally one of my JDM dream cars, so I'm living vicariously through you for this whole build lol. Also I know the OEM lip is cool, but I feel like a Shine Auto (or other brands) carbon fiber front lip would be cooler, AND it would match the Feed side skirt extensions.
In my humble opinion the 3 best bodykits ever for the FD is the Vertex kit & Vertex wide body kit n lastly the C-West DRFT kit. Veilside fortune is also crazy but it's unrealistic for most ppl unless ur Tj Hunt haha. But my favorite FD was the black DRFT FD3S from like 2001-2003 it was C-Wests DRFT demo car had some beefy sized Advan 5s on it
I would love to see LZ in the comments , I hope he really does sit down and watch his buddies ! I know he’s a busy guy but on his free time that’d be pretty dope if he does.
I installed side steps and rear diffuser using ALL existing bolt holes. I found that important to not drill into body! YOU CAN DO IT! just copt me a green T as well.. cheers!! look into getting the ODULA carbon center blade! love mine and had the hook up from my friend in Japan.
The front diffuser is different from 93-95 to the 99. it also had different brake ducts.. there are no 99 OEM oil cooler ducts but Garage magic, I think, has some fiberglass ones.
Love the vibes in that garage from Steve turning into a car guy and making Tommy love the S15 chassis again you guys are not only friends but a whole different twist on family and businessmen helping one another elevate we see you Spoon you’re an awesome fabricator hands down NFL 🥷🏽This channel is so underrated always showing love to my real ones keep Gunnin🔫🌏🏎💨 if you know🧠 you know🧠
I don’t really comment very much on UA-cam, I watch Adam’s channel, Tommy’s channel, Rudnick’s, even Donald’s But you mate are becoming my favourite, wicked Work you’re a fucking awesome guy, big love Brother
Hyped to see the yellow FD come together. I think it would look really dope on some Volk GTPs, although idk how difficult it would be to find the right spec.
Haha love it when we hear Steve in the background saying stuff cause as Jim said dam he learning quick now we just need find out what Steve would like to build and do a build series teaching him and him working on it cause he’ll id watch as I love passing the passion on
Just ordered one of the new key tags, went to order one of the old ones this week finally and was bummed when I didn’t see them on the site. Didn’t want to sleep on the new ones!
Love you jimmy. I have been watching you since the start of the red z build. You have been constantly improving and becoming one of the best automotive UA-camrs right beside LZ and I’m along for the ride. You brighten my day everyday I see a new upload and I hope the very best for you and the future of your career. Cheers jimmy and all the best to you and the crew. Love you guys
Yo Jimmy....that yellow of the mirrors is the special yellow they had for the Bathurst edition in '01 or the spirit FD's. Another great vlog bro, thanks so much!!!
He should really get the car matching that colour. The yellow on it now looks good but when you put the mirror next to it, it's like, wow that's what it's supposed to look like.
going to have to fill and paint the doors to change the mirrors. along with new front bumper it's almost worth a whole respray back to factory color rather than trying to paint match
@@Ratbagjim the ganadors do not use the original mounts . Jimmy mentioned that they go where normal mirrors mount. Watch the video again at 4.25 he shows where they mount
Just made my first of many orders thank you guys for the awesome content my favorite UA-cam channel. Also building a e46 for my first drift car and ls swapping it in the future shout out b hall.
I feel like yellow and carbon go hard cause it helps bring out the weave of the carbon. That yellow without the pearl too makes it pop more, wouldn't work with the mirrors yellow.
Hey there PATREON gang! Glad to see the coupe is back together. Excited for the FD to get the JimmyO treatment. Got some digging to do for the next sub mail and I’m copping one of those green shirts!
Jimmy! Appreciate the content, never miss an upload. I'd love to support you and buy merch but it's $45 usd to ship a shirt down under? If you can sort something a bit cheaper out I'd buy a heap cause I love the designs xx
The yellow on the Nardi, god damn, such a perfect touch for the FD. Past JimmyO knew what he was doing 2 years ago :D Its the perfect wheel for the car. Once they do custom orders again, would be so cool to see all the cars that arent just black or white get custom matching colored wheels. Just an idea for new merch too. the JimmyO logo in different colors on horn buttons!
I think you’re getting to the point you should start buying spare parts like clutches, steering parts, axles, & lips for those LXZs if you don’t have them. Getting a little serious with drifting those parts become disposable in a sense. Just a thought. Keep it up Jimmy!
I always 👍 your vids within seconds of hitting play. Always keeping me Interested in the comtent so it's a given every video gets a 👍 and I try to comment
Badass changes on the way, love to see it! Curious how paint match will go since the FD is already a respray and not exactly the factory color. You guys always come through, time to make Tommy proud hahaha! JK. I love that you do your thing and IMO Tommy hates it but respects it. Love what you're doing there guys!
It is the factory color (CYM, "Competition Yellow Mica"), just repainted and without the pearl ("Mica", the M in "CYM") coat. He talked about that when he picked up the car at Tommy's. If Jimmy wanted to (and IMO he should), when he has the other parts painted he could bring the whole car in and have them put the pearl on the entire car and the new parts.
@@kasper_429 the engine bay is factory cym color and has the pearl in it . The car was repainted at some point which has been mentioned. It was also mentioned in lzs video
@@robvanderkroft6515 That's basically what I said, lol. I'm pretty sure they said that it was resprayed the factory CYM color, just without the mica/pearl coat on it for some reason. I said that when he gets the new parts painted, he should bring in the whole car and get the mica/pearl sprayed on the entire car so everything, including the engine bay, matches.
Hay Jimmy, I;m also a big man (6 ft) and my cousin owns a 93 CYM rx7. He installed recaro rz seats which are big dude friendly but hurt after 40 minutes since we roadtriped the car. just lyk before you drop like10k on used seats :)
Good advice, this needs more likes to get it up
Question do their hurt because you're tall or is more of a width thing, I feel like this is a common thing as well.
He wouldn't put crap seats in his dream car, he knows
@@spicec0rp they are not crap seats that’s why they’re worth how much they’re selling for
@@spicec0rp crap seats? Are you Stupid? Or slow? You need to be grabbed by your nose and swung around in a circle until you get dizzy and throw up on yourself.
I’m all for recording “Jims Dream” in it’s entirety. FD’s are so high up on my list of favorite cars. Don’t skip a second of content.
!
Patreon gang. Professor Oakes be on the lookout for some submail. I found my collection of Sport Compact Car magazine. Yes I'm that old.
lol I like the name change
Dude, when Steve talked about the fender mounted mirrors, I thought a FD with fender mounted mirrors would fit him crazy.
Love to see how he turns into a car guy.
This man needs to get a project car asap.
The dude sucks ass and all you weirdos are just scared to talk shit about the token black guy.
Jimmy already has fitment issues with the fd let alone Stevie.
Stevie's my bro! Love seeing the passion taking shape!
10 years ago, I could basically only change a flat and then I found the CT UA-cam crew.
Watching has taught me so much, I now do all the work on our cars!
Personally I think the old tri-spoke Advans are the move on FDs. The colour on those ganadors needs to be on the car. Absolute fire!
LETS GO U WON BRO
Jimmies dream FD is THE dream FD!! Now BC’s and the Cerberus wheels, would finish it off perfectly. ‘90’s vibes all day every day 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Oh, and if I ever find myself in CT, I wanna get a nice cold beer with Stevie. He’s the chillest dude I’ve ever seen. Big love for Stevie.
You should paint a rectangle on the ground a bright color, so you can always put cars with darker paint/skirts/etc to create contrast. Would make it easier to see it versus the darkness of the concret
Buzzing to see the fd get some parts, although I would personally smooth the front bumper to get rid of the plate holder
PLEEEEEASE DO A BEFORE AND AFTER ON THE FD! grats lads, hard work pays off, well deserved
Black advan GT's would look sick with the yellow and carbon !👍👌💘
We really apreciate you Jimmy, Love the content Broski 👌👌
100% it’s going to be blitz 03 or te’s. Probably see the kensi on it when he does suspension….right of passage at this point
You need 99 spec taillights to complete the combo then build the fd like how you did the autetch s15
The 3 spoke wheels would look dope
Your part choice is top tier... Feed skirts, 99 spec wing, 99 spec front and lip, it can't be beat! Last piece of the puzzle, gotta have the 99 spec tails. Your build are always sick tho, can't wait to follow the FD's progress.
Don't be afraid to record the little stuff when working on cars 👍🏽

The primer on that new oem front bumper is reversible and you have to strip it to have a lasting paint job, just ran into that with my new old stock front bumper from mazda a few months ago
BBS ch wheels no one does it but looks amazing and you would never think it but sets it off and makes it look oem modern touch
Building my dream FD. Just a simple yellow 99 spec. Pumped to see this finished, you’re doing it right
I work for a Mazda dealer here in NZ and the spirit r/Bathurst rx7 wing is actually kept in stock in NZ
I'm so hyped that you're doing a '99 Spec conversion! This combo (R1 RX-7 in CYM with 99 Spec factory aero) is literally one of my JDM dream cars, so I'm living vicariously through you for this whole build lol.
Also I know the OEM lip is cool, but I feel like a Shine Auto (or other brands) carbon fiber front lip would be cooler, AND it would match the Feed side skirt extensions.
Just bought my very own BLUE key ring clip, been a long time fan this will go great on my new keys of my first stick shift car!!!!!
I like that the green is almost that super special "glow in the dark" color
You need the MS-02's for your FD as wheels!!
So excited for the fd Thankyou Jim for the quality content I watch you on my lunch break
Order a pressure brake bleeder, 1 person brake jobs 100% worth it. Also make sure you buy the adapter for the brake reserve.
I rode a 69 Chevy trk with a clutch in backwards for 2 years and bent many push rods before I smartened up.

Appreciate you Stevie I commented classic design with a hint of lime!

Jimmy + FD Content = a damn good friday
The mirrors look like Renault Liquid Yellow. It's the colour they do their spicy performance cars in, it's amazingly pearlescent
Man I don't think I've ever been more stoked for someone else to succeed.
Gotta say them ACT clutches are very nice had one in my em1. Loving the oem parts for the fd
I like my ACT clutch. Break in period was a little rough but it drives really well now.
@@bryanholzer2782 jimmy usually breaks em in by drifting the parking lot 😂
I don't like the giant license plate box on the 99 bumper, but you do you, because it's yours. It'll still look cooler than the FD I don't have.
I love your builds. Let's see them out of the shop.
I don’t really comment very much on UA-cam, I watch Adam’s channel, Tommy’s channel, Rudnick’s, even Donald’s But you mate are becoming my favourite, wicked Work you’re a fucking awesome guy, big love Brother

Coffee crisp are the best candy bar ever to exist. I find them in NY occasionally.

Just ordered one of the new key tags, went to order one of the old ones this week finally and was bummed when I didn’t see them on the site. Didn’t want to sleep on the new ones!
Check out some of the 99 front bumpers with the license plate removed and body shaped.
I'm so happy James waited for the perfect FD because this one is chef's kiss 👌
If you look at the end of the seat rails you will see stoppers these can be removed and the seat should slide back another few mm
the skirts go HARD! and you are so right, the carbon/yellow combo is an excellent contrast. Well done on those. I'm not a fan of the foam skirts.
Love you jimmy. I have been watching you since the start of the red z build.

Coped the new portal shirt and 1 of the last 2 red and black banners love the videos keep up the good work and dont sleep on the deals
The black and yellow steering wheels is dope as fuxk for that car
Get Meister's your favorite, and they look amazing on a fd.
Ah the classic Jimmy Tommy same day upload parts haul. On one hand FD parts on the other a $30k 400R hood.
Carbon does look best on yellow. There is just something about it. I don’t even like either yellow or carbon but it does look nice together.

Would love to see the e36 and the cherry hatch get painted while they’re not being worked on
Bro that poor e36.. 😂 it needs some LOVE
@@guzu334 Jimbo cut up the e36 so he could fit bigger tires and "drive it more" (he did neither of those things 😭😭😭)
Curious to see if you try to fit the side steps with the front mud guards. I have them as well, and I don't want to have to remove them.
Just made my first of many orders thank you guys for the awesome content my favorite UA-cam channel. Also building a e46 for my first drift car and ls swapping it in the future shout out b hall.
That song choice was dope when you were carrying the parts out.
Japan does what Vws did with the mk7.5 vws facelift a couple tiny changes and keep producing 😅… just wish I could time travel back to that time….
Yo that first video with that 80s music. Whoever picked it, great job yo
Hi Jim O Carbon Viber rear wing will look cool to much the other carbon on the RX7
I feel like yellow and carbon go hard cause it helps bring out the weave of the carbon. That yellow without the pearl too makes it pop more, wouldn't work with the mirrors yellow.
DEFINITELY rerun these Oak Garage T-Shirts cuz they BANGINN
🍁 Coffee crisp for the win! 🍁
A Polished finish on the wheels would compliment the yellow so well🤌🏻

bro ya need the little rear spats that match the side skirts it sets them off.
Crazy how at the end big jim said we have stuff to do to the s15 and I thought which one👀😂 great stuff Mr Oakes!! Keep it up!!
Gotta give it to Jimmy Yolks with the yellow cars 💛
Cerberus 1s would go crazy on the yellow FD
TestFit the wing on the blue s15
Angel Motorsport was supposed to put a three rotor in that for Adam 😉😉😉🤞🌶️🔥
I think you’re getting to the point you should start buying spare parts like clutches, steering parts, axles, & lips for those LXZs if you don’t have them. Getting a little serious with drifting those parts become disposable in a sense. Just a thought. Keep it up Jimmy!
BBS wheels will be fire
Quick tilt could fix the problem of the bigger wheel

99 Spec Aero yellow on Carbon going to be fire
You should have grabbed the 99 spec tail lights off the blue FD
Go crazy with the yellow get those yellow recaros
So from the looks of the parts, the plan is to take the CYM and make it into a Spirit R clone. I dig it.
That FD aye… so clean 🧽
