Sammit thats a easy fix. Find someone with a fame machine and pull it out. Its really not that bad. The interior alone in that car is worth a lot of money and well worth saving
They can put a little money into it to sell as is and from the hints we got Enzo will profit. Less headache and risk in the long run with such an unknown can of worms. Hopefully the next car will actually be a good fixer upper for Enzo.
It honestly doesn’t look that bad as far as frame repairs go. I do know hard it to find a reputable shop there with a frame machine but somebody has to do it. But I get sometimes the needed funds for a project just aren’t there.
This car looks like it's good for content on the channel, be nice if some of your sponsors would be willing to donate/discount some stuff for it so we can see the rebuild on the channel
@@BariLopesh He's not expecting shit, he's learning from his mistake. I would like to see them rebuild the car instead. Sponsors get marketing out of it, from a platform as big as Sammit's that's worth a lot. It's a transaction, not a charity.
How salty do you want to be? Just because no one helps you doesn’t mean they wont help others. While sammit channel isn’t huge he has sponsors for the channel and for drifting. Some might be willing to help for the shoutout.
That's a diamond in the rough, Enzo. Don't give up on her. I think a lot of us would love to see this car built on the channel. C'mon Sam, this is an easy build compared to the abandoned S15. Help him make a dream car come true.
TELL ENZO TO START A CHANNEL!!!!! You can learn rotary stuff and his channel will take off so fast with you in the videos. Plus you helping him will make you want your own and everybody wants to see SAMMIT in a rotary! 😂
@@verifiedweeb let’s gooooooo! Please don’t sell it! I would fasho watch that series of you too fighting with this thing, the before and after would be WILD with sam’s attention to detail and your rotary love!
Nice young man wit a beat up dream car, that's how it all start To check if a rotary healthy or not, a good ol compression check & endoscope will determine the health of the rotary seals & stuff
Don’t worry bud you’ll be okay I felt the same way when I got my first dirt bike, thought it was a great deal and overlooked the hell out of it but in the end you’ll love the thing more because of the story and effort you put into it🤙🏽
Damn Sam, last month I've bought an S15 via an importer, just based on photos and an auction sheet (I know it might be fake). Definitely, this video turned some of the excitement into anxiety haha
I used to work in a collision shop and that does not seem like that big of a job. If the frame isn't split and the manufacturer specifications say its able to be pulled (probably a cold repair) it's very possible it could be fixed easily. Ask a shop first!
Enzo, you got this. We all know you can do it. For what you payed for it, use it as a motivation to bring this machine back to life, then you can sell it if you want to. Make it all about the journey!!
Used FD3S parts in Japan are hella hard to find and expensive... Spoke with a Japanese guy who owns one in my neighborhood and that's his main issue with the car.
The compression from the engine running is pushing past the coolant seals into the cooling system and is coming out of the expansion tank vent. You might need a rebuild bud.
Yup, pretty shitty to see them try to pass on their bullshit situation to one of his subscribers instead. All while making a quick buck too, it sold for $11.8k and he wants $15k
mr Sam, youtuber in other side of the pond that also drifting while failed many times now a winner of an FD round. You CAN DO IT as well man.... keep up the good work.
Check out Full Function Engineering for fuel rails, air pump delete,etc parts Look up reliability mods for FD's. AST(Air separator tank) is one as the factory one breaks. Removing the twins will also help drop engine temps as they heat soak the engine bay.
I would not be revving that engine without knowing the condition of the oil or fuel, but that's just me. Don't put synthetic in that thing please, rotaries were designed to burn a little bit of oil as it's used to lubricate the apex seals. Apparently synthetic oil doesn't behave the same as conventional oil in a rotary engine, that's just what I've heard though.
22:355:00pm already? 🤣😂 One thing I still can't out of my head after living in Japan is the 8:00am and 5:00pm chimes in most towns in Japan. It's kinda like when you go to Vegas and swear you can still hear the slots in the background during the flight home.
You still got it cheap Enzo, don't stress too much! May not be the dream car you were hoping for first time but as a fellow FD owner, it's a great car to mod and have fun experimenting with and not feeling bad about it haha. Enjoy it. Can always buy more in future.
This happened to me before. I got an eclipse 09 and the guy said quick sale and said there was nothing wrong with it. A couple days later it had engine problems and I didn’t have the money to fix it cuz I just bought the car. It sucked soo much that this happened to me. I haven’t had a car since 2015 and I miss driving so much!! :( it sucks being broke 😢😢
as an RX-7 fan... this is good... it needs a fix and it will be an awesome car to drive... want to see it again once it got fixed... ❤️❤️❤️ but i wish Isami Amemiya sees this and help your friend sam... 🙏🙏🙏🙏
no engine no interior in LA is 20k usd. Got mine 2 years ago (post inflation) for 19k, 2k miles, built and tuned by DK at Garage Life, clearanced rotors, pinned, 3mm apex seals, single BW S362, running on haltec, new paint. Had some electrical issues i solved, and missing some switches on center console. Came with a spare stock 40k mile block and spare popups, box of spare parts, 9 mazda oil filters, ect. its clean, not perfect, but best i could do while being comfortable spending that amount of cash without inspecting, i knew if i didnt get it i would have to spend 2x more. If i was enzo and this was my dream car, i would just try to fix it, it doesnt seem like too much damage to me. If hes not completely in love with the car, not worth the headache and time to swap it all on top of fixing. Its definitely has potential, and is definitely worth the work.
For the price you all got it for just keep it! Fix it! The probability of finding another one that cheap is slim to none. When it’s all fixed and you are driving it it’ll be well worth the wait and money. If this is something Enzo has been wanting to get for a long time I’d say just give her some love and fix it up!
In fact, reving a rotary cold, especially with load and boost, can cause the corner seal to go out, sometimes they just seize in place but you have to take the engine apart to fix it.
Kid, you got a deal and everything can be fixed. It's money and hard work thats beats talent baby! Just rebuild everything from experience. I would love to find a previous model turbo 2.
Hate to say this but with all those bubbles in the water, the coolant just coming out when tap opened shows compression in the coolant system. Coolant seals need replacing, so it is a complete engine rebuild.
That's an easy fix! Take the motor out and that rail and strut tower is half a days work to straighten up. You can have it fixed and back together in a weekend. Don't let him sell it too cheap help him fix it and build a sick car.
If enzo don't want it, buy it sam, the series would pay for the car at least if sucks in the end tho and you would have a great history and a awesome looking car anyway.
That might be the quickest I’ve seen someone give up. If you absolutely need transportation right away why not pick up a kei car and chip away at a high potential project? Kinda hard to sell a bent frame project with visible bondo after admitting on camera it’s not worth your time.
I’ve seen worse damage repaired. It just depends on if your heart is in it! The FD is a legend and a collectible JDM car. It will only get more expensive so worth the effort IMO
Even with the bend frame, a frame shop can certainly pull it straight. It needs work, it is a bit a rough but nothing that can't be fixed up in my opinion. Would be a shame if he does sell, but I can imagine he wants a running and driving car instead of working on it before driving it.
Always have a friend that knows a bit about cars to tag along when checking the car, They don't care that you want it just that you get the best bang for your buck. So will pick the shit out of everything.
Sammit thats a easy fix. Find someone with a fame machine and pull it out. Its really not that bad. The interior alone in that car is worth a lot of money and well worth saving
Not really when's there's mold everywhere, sitting in a overgrown junk car storage lot
I wouldn't call it a easy fix 😂 it can be done, but it's not easy and theirs a reason frame guys charge so much ✌️
i agree but its not really up to sammit
@@_Anthony___you realise a simple soapy cloth fixes mold right?
They can put a little money into it to sell as is and from the hints we got Enzo will profit. Less headache and risk in the long run with such an unknown can of worms. Hopefully the next car will actually be a good fixer upper for Enzo.

I wish

See both sides here go on lads debate im enjoying a real conversation for once ahha
Think SAMMIT as a media company, then you’ll get the answer why they can get a sponsorship…😂

Yes green blinker fluid half full to !

Actually so hyped for an FD fixer upper series for the channel! Imagine seeing it at peak resto chilling at ebisu. Would be a great story.
It doesn't matter how clapped out it is. It's still an FD. I'm a huge Honda guy but, you can't help but love the lines of this chassis.
He hit the lottery. He shouldn't be so down. This is a gift!!!!! Going to kill it.
Lolol that LZ wheel in his backpack after talking about hulking his car out, haha loved that
I say help the young fella repair it, simple easy fix.. good content for you as it wouldn’t take anywhere near as long as your crazy builds

At least now he has a friend in Sammit to help him. Rebuild videos are doing really good
😂😂😂
You can definitely fix it up
Rotaries aren’t that bad once you understand them and chassis and body stuff is the same as always
You got this 👍
Bruh, rotaries are awful regardless how much knowledge you have about them 😂
@@tommywd40 not in my experience
I’ve owned one
@@revus5078 and I've owned 2.
Useless engines.
@@tommywd40 skill issue…
@@revus5078 sure there. Blowing apex seals with a proper oil/gas mixture over 25000 kms is a skill issue 😂😂😂😂
as a mechanic this car doesnt scare me a bit yes it needs some love but easily fixed with little bit of time and effort.
I like Enzo.. kid seems kind just like you sam protect and guide this kids my man.
Don’t worry bud you’ll be okay I felt the same way when I got my first dirt bike, thought it was a great deal and overlooked the hell out of it but in the end you’ll love the thing more because of the story and effort you put into it🤙🏽
That shell is perfectly good, what u where worry about is a fail zone and it has not failed yet
Damn Sam, last month I've bought an S15 via an importer, just based on photos and an auction sheet (I know it might be fake). Definitely, this video turned some of the excitement into anxiety haha
Best of luck bro haha
always get an inspector man
Ur fucked japan auction is pretty scammy.

Yes. That's what I noticed when he pulled the throttle. The bubbles coming out isn't what should be happening.
Rust is to a minimal.
If you know you know. . . 🤣

imagine kalvin restoring this FD aswell

Have a great weekend coming👊 cheers 🍺🍻KC 🇦🇺🤝🇦🇺😎👍✌
Please be with Enzo when he does buy another car after this fiasco is dealt with. Good luck with everything !!!

You CAN DO IT as well man....
keep up the good work.
Isn’t that “leak” from when you opened the coolant reservoir and it spilled out?
man hearing this gets me more excited to start the Fc project that im picking up on monday

I love this!!🎉🎉❤ apart from the being scammed . First day off work in forever and turned on my Xbox . New video ❤❤❤❤
Awesome video as always Sammit. FDs are so awesome especially Black FDs.
We need a FD Rx7 build on the channel 👌🇦🇺

Buy it Sammit! 30k in and its worth way more!
Rebuild the whole 13B and replace the whole front end and throw a 6 speed trans in it and itll be a solid FD Enzo !
Take it all the way down and seal it better than new.
as an RX-7 fan... this is good... it needs a fix and it will be an awesome car to drive... want to see it again once it got fixed... ❤️❤️❤️

Yeah it isn’t it it’s got a Fishtank is the headlight fish might get seasick when you guys around corners😅😅😅
Regrets Enzo. Chin up. Sam's got ya back. Next time get Sam to look at a car before purchasing. ✌️🤘🇦🇺
700k❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳🎊🎊🏎💨💨.
Congratulations my boi .
Sugoee!!❤
Such a beautiful car, sad to see it in condition like this
“Warm it up a bit” continues to rev it.
Still blows my mind that Vargas shop is like 5 minutes from my house in virginia and i never knew it lol

Make that the new build on the Chanel Sam we’d all love the content , whether it’s yours or enzos

16:35 is the same face I’m making right now when I heard that 😂😭😂
Congratulation with 700k subscribers you deserve it
depends on how far back that frame rail is bent right?
But thats some B is for build /arthur tussik level of repair thats gonna be required
Thank you Enzo for bringing the rotary for sammit life's now. It was about time.
Got scammed my first go round too. Lol sucks real hard when it starts to set in how much of piece of junk it really is. Happens to the best of us.
Enzo bringing us the new bogan! Rx7 only fix on a budget with inshop stuff and upgarage?! content just writing itself!
Kid, you got a deal and everything can be fixed. It's money and hard work thats beats talent baby! Just rebuild everything from experience. I would love to find a previous model turbo 2.
Hats off for Enzo getting the first rotary "build" on the channel, lol. Gonna be interesting to see the next car of his on the channel.
There’s a fuse for the automatic headlight pop up pull that before you roll up the pop ups. That way it stays up.
oh first time I've seen actual headlight fluid, that's great!
Hate to say this but with all those bubbles in the water, the coolant just coming out when tap opened shows compression in the coolant system. Coolant seals need replacing, so it is a complete engine rebuild.

Don't let him sell it too cheap help him fix it and build a sick car.
Finally some rotary content, my favorite and dream car classic JDM rotary 👍
11:41 I LOVE YOUR KNOB FOR THE FAN 😁😆😅🤣😂

This will be a good project for the channel. Can't wait to see the rebuild
It's a damn shame about that frame rail. I was hyped at the beginning of the video. Hopefully someone will buy it and restore it to its former glory.
Sammit buy a radiator pressure tester. They’re pretty cheap and you can do these tests well.
Happy 700k sub bri🎉
I’ve seen worse damage repaired. It just depends on if your heart is in it! The FD is a legend and a collectible JDM car. It will only get more expensive so worth the effort IMO
Nooo don’t sell it! It would be a great journey to bring this back to life and tune it. Enzo give it a try!
Bro that rail is sweet, quick pull on the rack and it will be straight, the front clip is around $800 from Mazda. I've repaired way worse.
bring her back into life i cna hear it purring to live you can do it sammit!
I would be interested in it buying it as is. Who can I contact?
See the video description.
Even with the bend frame, a frame shop can certainly pull it straight. It needs work, it is a bit a rough but nothing that can't be fixed up in my opinion.
Would be a shame if he does sell, but I can imagine he wants a running and driving car instead of working on it before driving it.
No smoke from a rotary... please check that there is premix in with the gas like a 2 stroke
quick slick n ready for port sunday
We all need a legend in our lives like Sam
The front rail is completely fixable! That thing is dope. Especially for $15,000!
$10k is about right for an REW. 3-Rotor is $15k+
Fix that frame it’s easy fix!! Good content for the channel
There needs to be a new shirt drop. “Hey, how you doin?” Lol.
When I hear front clip, I think from the firewall up. Does it need all that or just a core/radiator support?
Always have a friend that knows a bit about cars to tag along when checking the car, They don't care that you want it just that you get the best bang for your buck. So will pick the shit out of everything.
Everyone saying their hyped for rotary build didn't watch until the end where their selling it😅
i bent both front rails on my fd couple hours on the caroliner it was fixed that looks like an easier fix then mine
Use the old trick for the radiator...but some cracked pepper in it..will fix it for a few months if not permanently
Them rx7s remind me so much of the old Vipers from a quick glance of the back
Damn an Auto RX7... would love to get this as a cruiser
it's a 5 speed with an FC shift knob on it
Maaaaaan, I would have loved to see this one rebuilt!
Honestly, its a great base for a super modified show car..new shiny parts!
13b rew in America goes for $6-7k without the transmission, $8-9k with.
That 13b with an overlap will sound sick
