As an FD enthusiast, a black interior enthusiast, an OEM+ enthusiast, an alcantara enthusiast, and most importantly a "No squeaks and rattles" enthusiast, this video was incredibly satisfying. Very very well done. Looks great man.
No really. This was so well edited. Im kinda add and usually get sidetracked watching vdeos of guys putting cars together so i skip ahead, but i actually want to watch the process here.
That thing with the friction tape, I respect and enjoy seeing that. Too many people just slap a car together without thinking. This care to detail is why I can always watch the entirety of your build videos.
I definitely recommend it, I sound deadened my vette and it transformed the car. The subaru is next and I'm sure its going to be even better than the vette.
I have that OEM wheel in my Protege and I absolutely love it. So glad you're switching from aftermarket back to OEM! Words cannot convey how satisfying this video is.
This is kind of weird, but watching all of these detailing/detail-focused videos for project cars really help inspire me to clean my room. The amount of effort G&G put into their content just has this vibe that gets me feeling like I should put in that little bit more effort, especially during these strange times. Thanks guys.
It's becoming a clean and complete build, just like the forester. I hope it stays and doesn't suffer from the same fate. Maybe an update what the buyer did would be nice
The editing for this video is so good. It made the whole process feel like we were on this interior journey with Ben. The real standout talents of these guys is their editing. Many other channels and car shows have similar production value, but fall short of these guys when it comes to editing and visual story telling. A-1 premium job. Oh and the FD looks great!
There's a whole cottage industry yet to be born where 'classic' car interiors are 3d modeled for 3d printing and simply wrapped with fresh vinyl material. Could be worth millions and millions. Also for updating interiors, I imagine the Porsche community would pay a lot for modern style interior panels to be fitted directly to a 996 or 997 911 wrapped with fresh leather or alcantara . Those interiors wear out horribly yet the cars remain worth lots used.
12:37 i love how the headliner clicks are synced to the beats in the song, whichever ben edited this, i see your need for perfection and i'm here for it.
To be fair He said he’d be taking it out anyway, so might as well make it more to his taste, especially in a FD that has already lost its Rotary. But I do also enjoy Odd interior colours, I’ve got a blue interior in my 91 Celica
I really like that you pay attention to every small detail. All my friends make fun if me when I detail my engine bay and everything but you just prove as well that tiny details make such a huge difference and your car ends up looking way cleaner.
Why anyone would thumbs down this video is beyond me. I really appreciate the meticulousness of his work to really make this rx7 look amazing. Great work.
Daniel messaged me about pricing that car and I sandbagged on making a decision to buy it so he posted it up for sale. I'm glad you picked it up, it was a great buy for your interior swap and saved you thousands. Your car is looking good!
I remember this exact same process, swapping out an SG Forester XT interior into my XS (and vice versa). Pop, unclip and unscrewing tons of part and panels. Carpet and headliner (especially with a s sunroof) was the most time consuming part. Kudos on the swap Ben.
I live vicariously through you guys as i work 6 days a week in my restaurant. I already have the perfect daily (model y) and am saving to buy a fd for my weekend car.
These are the kinds of "mods" I love. Just the little things that improve a car. I'm not usually into making huge power numbers (at least on my budget), but I love just getting little things, often OEM, to improve slight aspects about my car.
Congrats Ben. As someone with OCD, this video actually smoothed me quite a bit. I can't imagine the sound difference between what you have to what you have now!
Ben1(rotary ben): So you K-swapped an FD. I still can't believe you did that. Ben2(k-swapped ben) Yeah... and guess what! Ben1: No. Ben2: *I got another one*
At first I was kinda bummed that this was only an interior swap video, then I was kinda bummed you were getting rid of the tan (i love the tan), but then this became an extremely satisfying video. Looks fabulous now and that kick plate is rad.
This is my favorite channel for RX7 content. Almost as if I’m watching a movie.. and it’s not a group of people laughing and joking 99% of the time with 1% car content, this is really engaging and you can actually focus on the car and what’s going on 🚘
This was a real upgrade to the car. Making it better than it was before, maybe even compared to stock. UA-cam is filled with people just pumping more power into their cars just to make higher HP numbers. This here is actually meaningful work going into a vehicle. Good stuff!
I think these kind of videos are the most satisfying! Even though i would never be able to take apart all of an interior all the little information you give is still interesting to watch
This was very satisfying to watch cause you did a lot of work for a 20 mins vid. Also, this just shows how important it is to have a car with a solid aftermarket support.
@@DimV93" back to black" would be a good start, polishing plastics. Idk what that runs but did it on the daily. Turned out pretty good and hides scratches. There's companies that do it but no clue what that runs. DIY under 50 bucks

to be honest. that looks the best i ever seen in a FD. it looks soooo nice. premium look and maybe feel. love the mazda interiors. so dont let it get to you that its from the 90s. for what it is and especially that time. It looks very nice and modern. makes me wanna get one my self
Wow you went the extra 15 miles with sound deadening and putting covers on anything with plastic touching plastic. Hats off! You also got extremely lucky that you found a black interior car with no sunroof! 99 spec taillights is a plus.
Not gonna lie, I was bitter when I saw you bought another FD. But then I watched the video and saw how much your car was elevated by swapping the parts over and I’m glad you did it. Looks awesome.
at first I was like..hmm, another project? but when Ben started talking I was like " OH ! Its parts car he talked about in last episode !! " Loving it, so relaxing and enjoyable to watch !
nicely done! for the stray wires, check into getting a cloth wire loom. They have them in various sizes and some you can just open up down the middle, insert the wires, and it coils back in on itself. Did that for the wiring harness for my sub and you can't even see it. super cheap too. Great work!
That black interior has transformed the car tremendously... Loved it!
Hi bro I'm your sub ❤️👍
Absolutely has! Are you also looking for an RX7?
@@WarriorsPhoto how can he find a rx7 in india 😂
The cream was unique though.. the red and cream reminded me of a ferrari
I agree the tan interior wasn’t so good but the black interior hits different
This video taught me that if you don’t want to manage wiring just buy a kick plate and I’m gonna use that trick

Amen to that man! So many rattles and creaks in the Subaru interiors.
Made me sad when they did the airbag recall on mine. The dash was fine before, now it rattles pretty bad.
Same to my Lancer. Everyone knows Evos/Lancers have cheap interiors, which I love, but the rattles *suck* .

*saving it from an ls swap* for a k swapped one
sounds pretty much the same with no rotary.. still like it tho
Would very much argue an LS swapped FD is a far greater car than a K swapped one! But yes, still liked as soon as we clicked too.
A 4g63 swap is a lot rare and it almost sounds like a rotary
12:37 i love how the headliner clicks are synced to the beats in the song, whichever ben edited this, i see your need for perfection and i'm here for it.
Why do people hate the tan interior? FDs with original colour combos will be worth a fortune in future.. I wish my Silver FD had the red interior..
It’s going take one popular UA-camr or tuner to come out and build a tan interior then everyone will be scrambling to find tan parts.
I think a white one would look good with the tan interior
To be fair He said he’d be taking it out anyway, so might as well make it more to his taste, especially in a FD that has already lost its Rotary. But I do also enjoy Odd interior colours, I’ve got a blue interior in my 91 Celica
Personally I don't hate it, but I feel like it belongs in a Lexus driven by a grandpa, not really an RX7. But that's just me.
Tan interiors goes better with luxury cars, more than sportscar
That Alcantara is probably the best part of that interior
Gives it such a good look
12:30 anyone else notice the clips in sync. That was so satisfying
Agreed
best part of the video.
