This is a special feature for the TRC team, we welcome our newest member Chris to the team (IG @bsideofnolan). Not only is he talented behind the camera but he's an absolute animal behind the wheel of his 1993 Mazda RX7! We put a lot of love into this one, hope you enjoy it!
I’m not hating on LS powered cars cause I have one.... BUT when I saw the thumbnail I was really hoping it was still rotary powered. Still a bad ass car tho
Agreed. I can appreciate a well done LS swap, but not in an RX-7. Why replace the most unique thing about the car? They can last a long time if well looked after.
Like honestly a lot of you guys are saying he should have kept the rotary or whatever. But you have to be honest with yourself, that's a down and dirty V8 right there. Most of the time a RX7 is V8 swapped, they're half freaking rigged...No paint job, fenders all cut up, and just a whatever setup. This guy has done everything! He's appreciated the fact that this car was birthed with a rotary and is a sin to engine swap. But he has at least took such a beautiful car into the hands of an angel.
Maxwell *Personal Account* because engine swaps are cool. There’s a guy who took the RB out of his GTR, put a Cummins diesel in it. The car is absolutely epic
I literally paused it when he popped the hood, im not going to watch any of this video. Atleast true rotary people are as disappointed as i am. If you enjoy rotarys and havent heard of them check out Angel Motorsports Channel.
Wouldn't know, I clicked pause once they lifted the hood and came down to the comment section. If I wanted to see a LS I wouldn't be clicking on 900hp RX7 scare videos in 2019.
There are a multitude of engine choices. But it all depends what he was after. It's a damn gorgeous build and it's done extremely well. Rotories are incredibly expensive to build properly for that kind of power and to maintain it is crazy pricey as well. This a clean ass build. Great job!
What an INSANE build, hat's off to Chris, the JDM purest in me is sad that it's not a rotary anymore, but you know what Chris did what he wanted to do I can only respect that. 👍👌💯
The engine and horse power evolution on this car mirrors my '02 TA almost exactly! Went from 550 whp with the Vanessa and stock bottom end LS1, to 742 with a PTE 7675, and shooting for 900 with a forged 6.0 that's going in over the winter. The FD is a much sexier looking car though! Great work on this thing Chris!!
@@cnolanphotos thanks brotha! I've never actually done a podcast with Freddy though. I haven't met him yet, but I will. Right now, I got a bunch of reviews with cool cars filmed, and being edited. Definitely stick around :D
Alvin Ameyaw yea I feel you not very Everyone can keep a rotary alive. I’ve had rotarys running for years no issues. N I dog the shit outta them just gotta keep them lubed
Sick. Love these types of videos especially when they promote their “local” “smaller” shops that go above and beyond for tuning, painting, and everything in between
This 7 moves out! I have a 3 rotor FD and this one here is well built even tho it is an LS it is done right! Can’t wait till we get a chance to line up!
Awesome car man. Yeah the more you learn about rotory's the more you appreciate the people that keep them, but if you want a reliable car there is just no way. I like this option. As long as FD's are cared for, IDC what you do with them.
Thank you and yeah I preach the same thing. I just care about these FD's living on. I respect any drivetrain someone wants in their build. Thats the point of building a car for you.
The only thing sweeter than Caroline smiling with her mouth wide open is this sweet RX7 and his mullet blowing in the wind as he rows them gears! Sweet fucking ride man!!!!!
if you think an RX7 is so unreliable & hate the engine then simple don't buy one, there are plently of other piston powered cars that u can do a boring unimaginative LS swap on, leave the rare & unique RX7s for someone who actually understands what the rotary engine is about, people who LS swap the iconic RX Mazdas are complete fucktards with no clue, find another car to wreck with your shitty LS swaps hey :)
Props to the editor 👌👊 Great job. What a car, H8'rs will h8 but that little v8 is gr8 ! Looks mental fast and love every mod onit! Purists will h8 it but we modify cars for ourselves not others 👊
Literally watched 5:59-6:05 over about a dozen times, as soon as the boost really comes on her eyes light the fuck up lol. P R I C E L E S S reaction :thumbsup:

That Racing Channel what camera are you filming with?
That Racing Channel we have a evo 9 that’s going to AG Auto if you’d like to do a video on it probably going to make 1000hp
I seen Chris in the tattoo shop looking for a neck tatt his face dropped lol when he was told he'd need to charge him for a sleeve 🤬
V8 FD No Good
Who knew Ron Jeremy lost weight and had a badass car?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I WAS JUST GOING TO POST THIS YOU BASTARD!! fr tho haha
That's who he looks like😂😂😂.. I said mario and Luigi

This guy gets it 😁🤙
The car is clean and has jdm parts but also makes good power and torque I'm impressed its nasty
@@MidShipCivic I mean i guess haha
Rotaries break all the time, why would anyone want one lmao
It's v8 swapped and ugly I would prefer it just destroyed
3:59 Corvette jumped and still got its ass whooped!!! Lmaooooo
dress2impress1000 Ls on Ls violence😂
Typically even in 1320vid nowadays.
Countdown goes 3....2...jump....go.1....Go.
@@Carlos1987rgzz lmaooooo
Marios Tabajen that’s true. Lmao
Stock ls vs turbo ls the rx7 was going to win no doubt
6:13, that pull is insane- made that big rig look like it slammed its brakes!!! Fookin awesome mate!!!
Stick shift approved real mans car. No matter what power plant
@fenderfan85 x100000000
fenderfan85 blah blah blah I'm attracted to dentist drills becuz they're rare blah blah. Nobody gives a damn about your opinion, ma'am.
fenderfan85 idk why you wouldn’t just get a corvette or a Camaro or something with an ls already.
Maxwell *Personal Account* because engine swaps are cool.
There’s a guy who took the RB out of his GTR, put a Cummins diesel in it. The car is absolutely epic
@@THESLlCK sure but swapping a rotary for an ls completely ruins the whole point of having an rx7... You might as well fucking k swap a camaro
“Not rotary”
Logs off UA-cam
Great car tho
Me too, didn't finish the video...I'm out.
I literally paused it when he popped the hood, im not going to watch any of this video. Atleast true rotary people are as disappointed as i am. If you enjoy rotarys and havent heard of them check out Angel Motorsports Channel.
@Fart In Donald Trump Mouth no
Beautiful Car unfortunately is a V8. Besides that the car is gorgeous and make some power.
The haterade is strong in the comment section
I respect his built but as for me any rx7 will always have 13b r 20b
Thank you 👍🏻 I say the same thing when ever I see or hear an Rx7 with no doritos brapping
And you will cry everytime it breaks down which will be often lol. Plus rotarys sound like lawn mowers in real life and suck to drive on the street.
@@wetwea33 dude I grew up around rotaries them breaking down is an irrelevant problem 🤣🤣
20b>
They sound like F1 cars
Olushola Faly as an fd owner I’d have to agree
you gave me a ride in this car during tx2k on the streets 1-3 pull and it was absolutely mental! I appreciate you man! the car still looks amazing!
I remember that! Hope to be back soon.
Nice build. The 1st ls swap fd I've liked. Tasteful and well done!!
Wouldn't know, I clicked pause once they lifted the hood and came down to the comment section. If I wanted to see a LS I wouldn't be clicking on 900hp RX7 scare videos in 2019.
That color is absolutely perfect for the fd. It fits it so well, it’s unbelievable.
Pill Cosby 😝😭😂😂😂

Man his fd is perfect I wouldn’t change a thing , I like the whole set up .
I'd change the engine back to a wankel rotary
Rotary junk
Rockhound hunter and if it was rotary it would have smoked everything there
I’d change the back wheels
This car is what every adrenaline junkie dreams of. Also, beautiful to look at.
Great job guys,I was laughing as well as being impressed with how you package the content. A full 5-star guys and gals.
He had rotarys in the past let the man try something different sheesh 😂
Snunz differing opinions are contrary to my own all rx7s are rotary reeeee
Wouldnt really say that "something different" works when it's an ls swap.. 😂
Great engine but oh dear am i tired of everything being an ls swap.
David B they’re better than most engines out there and very accessible
@@davidb3546 I’m tired of people complaining about ls rx7’s so I guess we can all have our way
No
What an INSANE build, hat's off to Chris, the JDM purest in me is sad that it's not a rotary anymore, but you know what Chris did what he wanted to do I can only respect that. 👍👌💯
Rotary cant do 900hp on the road
Max Vel0city purist=fetishist beta
The car is bad ass and is tastefully done. Super clean build and i love that it's manual.
Wow, I'm the first to admit that a V8 Rx7 would normally trigger me, but that is beautiful, so tasteful and purposeful. Well done!
The way the fd launchs is freaking scary quick even tho its ls swap but its still a great build
One of my favorite local builds. Great video, keep em coming!
8:47 pigtails with a stache?! That's a first for me 😂
@@troyarmstrong434 🤣🤣🤣🤣
TJ Armstrong that was good, gotta give that one to ya 😂
Brad Carpenter That’s West coast style

@TJ Armstrong Bit harsh bro, he has two moms
Love the stock body, love the engine choice!

5:17 I am an animator. Look at the passenger's facial expression. It went from exhilaration/excitement to fear at the end.
Gotta love LS rx-7 😍 this car is just perfection
That's freaking awesome if only people could understand art like you. Great job brother. # LS life.
Wow the editing and the intro were phenomenal. It all flowed so well together! Welcome aboard Chris, you and your car are badass!
MaxSpeed thank you for the kind words. I couldn’t be happier to be on the team. The future is bright! 😎

@@MaxSpeedMike Not sure how I got that confused. I must have clicked on the wrong thing and it pulled up a different yt page. Sorry about that.
@@cnolanphotos that's okay. I did a video with Andrews Focus ST, Eman tavarish have the podcast together
He popped the hood and I turned the video off.
Alvin Ameyaw lol
I actually did this, not kidding one bit.
Lol why bro? I have a 13b Fd & I still watched it 😂
@@ryanburgos-jimenez7344 I'm just tired of LS swaps, especially on a FD
FC fine! FD makes me cry 🤣
Alvin Ameyaw yea I feel you not very Everyone can keep a rotary alive. I’ve had rotarys running for years no issues. N I dog the shit outta them just gotta keep them lubed
Hats off 👏👏👏...nice build
As soon as I didnt hear a rotary I was a little pissed but it is what it is. Sick car
Sick ride. I bet this guy slapped his leg 300 times in this interview. Drove nuts the whole time
Thanks man and yeah still new to this. Always want to improve.
1st off I wanna say thank you for keeping the mansmission...dope car dope build chill a** driver 🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🤘🏾
Appreciate it!
I’m a big fan of the shape of rx7s and I have to say that this one is absolutely stunning
Sick. Love these types of videos especially when they promote their “local” “smaller” shops that go above and beyond for tuning, painting, and everything in between
this corvette is sick
I smell..... jealousy.
*Best Intro song* !
This 7 moves out! I have a 3 rotor FD and this one here is well built even tho it is an LS it is done right! Can’t wait till we get a chance to line up!
Radical Speed appreciate that and yes I can’t wait to see your beast.
Been following on IG for awhile now, the car is absolutely gorgeous. Sick shots all the time too. Super cool seeing this on TRC.
Amazing build. Way to keep the FD RX7 chassis alive!
Omg Tommy's face is priceless... I'm dead
No words man, incredible built!
The car is badass don’t get me wrong but imagine a 900 hp rotary in it
One badass rx7. I love a good ol' LS turbo swap in a light car. What's not to love about that?? Lmao
That car took Tommy's soul😂😂😂
BRO that intro was insane great job
Hopefully see this car in a cash days video
I'm speechless 🙏💪
Absolute monster
This is one of those cars where it actually LOOKS like fucking 900 ponies. Got dayum
Man that’s a great RX7 build!
Dude in white shirt with the nervous af laugh! Im dying..
Welcome Chris, nice fd and video, thanks buddy.
I know this guy lol. Awesome build and very cool guy. Catch you out at the next First Friday!
what's first friday?
@@supernice_auto it's a local car meet at David's Burgers that happens ever first Friday in our area. It's pretty big.
Awesome car man. Yeah the more you learn about rotory's the more you appreciate the people that keep them, but if you want a reliable car there is just no way. I like this option. As long as FD's are cared for, IDC what you do with them.

9:06 That pucker moment 😳😂
1000 house power! Get it bro.
You got your sticker, your plate, and your shirt on this guy. Jesus christ guys. Let the people breath. "Buh Buh muh BRANDING"
The only thing sweeter than Caroline smiling with her mouth wide open is this sweet RX7 and his mullet blowing in the wind as he rows them gears! Sweet fucking ride man!!!!!
Awesome video!!!
Why would you LS swap an RX7? Probably because the owner wanted to actually drive the car.
Then buy an LS powered car 🙂 not a JDM icon
Hmm, thats an interesting way to spell "the owner has no respect for heritage"
@@NutButDontTella Right.
Just buy a C5 corvette, save time and money instead of LS swapping an FD.
I do fully respect the owners choice tho
if you think an RX7 is so unreliable & hate the engine then simple don't buy one, there are plently of other piston powered cars that u can do a boring unimaginative LS swap on, leave the rare & unique RX7s for someone who actually understands what the rotary engine is about, people who LS swap the iconic RX Mazdas are complete fucktards with no clue, find another car to wreck with your shitty LS swaps hey :)
Was that a Galaxy 👀 in that mans hands????
Such a bad ass car and build! Props to the owner,I would love to do a coyote all motor swap on one of these
Rob finishes his AWD rotary and immediately breaks it... ok guys we are going to a LSX with the AWD
That is one of the best sounding ls3
Props to the editor 👌👊 Great job. What a car, H8'rs will h8 but that little v8 is gr8 ! Looks mental fast and love every mod onit! Purists will h8 it but we modify cars for ourselves not others 👊
Awesome build! Can’t wait to see it with the bigger turbo.
Fing badass. Awesome ride
awesome car. love the way it looks!!!!
AWESOME,AMESOME BUILD!!!!!
The perfect rx7..wouldn’t change a thing 👍🏻
Love the build love the video keep it up TRC
What a great setup👌
beautiful car!!💪💪👍👍
That car is bad ass 💪.
Nice build !
Fantastic Car !
I like the depth of that simple grey color. I am not one to paint a race car. Paint is weight. But i dig that color
Damn nice build... I'd be a proud owner.
Thats some serious torque right there . Sick
This man is the Steve jobs of LS Swapped RX-7s. So meticulous. So Perfect
Waaaooo 😃... Gretings from Panamá 🇵🇦... Very impres with the video from Start to finish
Pretty awesome build.
First from Greece!
Another special video TRC!!!
damn yall will put anything but a rotary in these
Keep up the good work!!
Everyone talkin bout the damn rotary engine STFU!!! This car sounds AMAZING!!!!
In before the complaints about the engine swap
Sweet setup. Popular up here in Canada. Would love to do one myself. Love it and the ladies 😁, hope to see it on the channel at some events!
I hit mute to imagine a 4 rotor sound coming from that beautiful FD... only to read from the captions "angry turbo v8 rumbles"
Me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Great video, buzz me when your ready for wet sand and buff...detail Paul
All but smiles😁
That thing is rowdy af
*clicks on this video assuming its gonna be a wholesome rx7 video*
Me: *instantly greeted by a v8 and a nagasaki spooly boi*

Car is nuts dream build
Literally watched 5:59-6:05 over about a dozen times, as soon as the boost really comes on her eyes light the fuck up lol. P R I C E L E S S reaction :thumbsup:
dislike this comment plz
xD
If this was a rota with 900hp would be way more scary and fun.
And way less reliable?
Doselage do you own a rota
@@chrisbaldwin5655 No but I own a weedeater, same thing. It also, is more reliable, hahaha
Doselage so you don’t know shit then lol your weed eater/wipersnipper is a piston motor. So not the same thing :p
Camera guy was thinking to himself if those seatbelts are safe enough for how fast that car is. Lol
🔥Love this car!🔥
