that titanium exhaust makes it raspy because the wall on pipe is thin if you get a thicker wall pipe it will take the rasp away, big rotary fan here from nz
The EFR 9180 or 9174 is probably too much turbo unless you want to make like 600+ whp. But if you put on an 8374 (good for like 550 whp on a 13b) and compare it to whatever the comparable G series is, I guarantee you'll like the EFR more.
@@peterbaiter6422 no one can blame u bro, Adam's been so busy with all the other builds and his new ones that alot of us forgot the 3 rotor cosmo, i was think that he has a 2 and 4 rotor when he getting a 3 rotor and then i remember this man already has 2 and we mostly forgot it 🙈😂
out of all the FD's youve got this is by far the best one yet. im also all about the OEM so i would change the headlights and probably the wing. keep up the solid content 👍
The inner child in me screams for you and all your accomplishments, I went from a punk teen to an adult now & I’ve watched you grow and become a Literal Legend. A huge thanks to people like your self mister LZ, you ensure and have shown that dreams are obtainable like this and are always so level headed, you definitely deserve all this and more, you’ll go down as one of the best to ever do it in the car community/ world, much love from Alabama❤️
@@chandlerbraaten847 he never really drove a rotary before being with her. go back to the earlier videos when she was getting introduced into the videos back in California
Don't get why you couldn't give 5 minutes to Matt and his rebuild of your old Porsche. Even just a voice note would have been cool. Shame, gone down in my estimation on that sadly
That car probably reminds him of the time he almost fucking died. His Ptsd doesn't want to look at it, or remember it exists. I don't fuckin blame him, amd yall are extremely insensitive.
@@Yoyogarage Mat said in his video that Adam didn’t want to see the rebuilt Porsche. Mat was gracious about it. Offered to meet him anywhere he wanted. Mat didn’t put down Adam at all for not wanting to see it.
My grandfather has a MGB, hoping I eventually end up with it in my possession, never thought of doing a K swap or rotary, gotta be a wild ride in such a small and light chassis
Don't worry, unless you are balling and have all the contacts and sponsors like Adam, the rotary is more of a pain to keep running. K20 was the smarter move
Holes in both bumpers and the interior….I’m sure Adam will punt this one down the road if a nicer one pops up. The never ending pursuit of the perfect FD is likely to go on.
I think it's petty that you didn't meet up with mat Armstrong. He gave you every opportunity to meet up even if it was for 15 minutes. You had the time as well all you've been doing is working on a Datsun. Not cool man!!!
He had an accident in the car you don't know how it effected him pretty understandable why he doesn't want to see the car have to respect his decision matt even said they talked and he understands why grow up a bit
@@quickshottv2274 I'm grown. If anyone needs to grow up it's Adam. Like I said he's crashed before and kept driving the same car. Mats just a nice guy and he was clearly hinting when he said he tried to meet up with Adam and even offered to go to the compound but Adam said no. That's petty.
@@quickshottv2274 He could have invited matt to the compound. He made the effort to go there. It would be a great collab even without the gt3. Adam just looks like a petty kid here, like he is kind of pissed that Matt rebuild the gt3 to begin with.
how you explain the reliablity issues with a rotory is basically the same thing with EJ/Subaru motors. A series with a subaru would generate a ton of likes/subs.
Adam doesnt really know how well the Borgwarners especially the efr compliments the rotary engines… Glad it already has a good turbo & fuel setup. Adam DONT change a thing!!
So, if you enjoy being able to see at night, keep the retrofits haha. I'd swap out that coupler off the turbo though. Rotary's are loud no matter what especially a bridgey. If you want to get rid of the rasp go away from Ti. Also going 4in lowers the tone so it sounds deeper. But it gets louder.
Killer video, love your excitement and passion/enthusiasm for the car and just the culture in general!!! That turbo spool on your hot lap sounded fantastic and looks like one of the most fun cats to drive, ever! Congratulations brother and enjoy🤝🔑🚀
Seems like the experience of building the mk4 rotor supra awakened the “brappiness” on Adam. Is lovely to see the chemistry between Vargas, Adam and the crew. Blessings from 🇵🇷
This is really cool because I actually have met the previous owner at car shows and have photographed this exact car. So when I saw on his social media that it was sold to Adam its super cool seeing him look more in depth on the car
Vargas is a legend, I would want him to build me an engine if I ever get the FC I want, the fact that Tommy brought a brand new engine and the brothers found so many faults in it still blows my mind and they were showing it as they tearing it apart with no edits.
Love the car I really love the feeling and sound of when the well tuned turbo cars get rowdy and this one did not dissapoint. Hope you have a good time on some backroads with this one and open it up a bit with a nice exhaust.
This beautiful balance on the grip's edge iwas the main focus when Mazda engineers were designing and calibrating the FD. One of the greatest sports car of all times.
Imagine if Adam had somehow gotten hold of a rotary swapped Saleen S7
That's what I thought the thumbnail was 😭 or like an old Japanese racecar
I haven't watched the video yet but maybe this thumbnail was for another video?🤔🤔
@@theitalianstig_ sorta what I was thinking like he accidentally used the wrong thumbnail
@@57F100 The bodyline is so unique but I had to do a double take whilst jokingly telling myself "nah surely not" 😂
As long as it was totaled I just want to see an S7 actually being used on the internet
Will never get over how quickly mike runs around the compound in order to get all those shots in one go
They dug him a hamster tunnel system for easy transportation
You know what they say about camera men
😂😂😂
The fastest feet in Florida
I think he had the camera he runs with. But he has to have tripods with cameras also set up all around
That your mom joke was too good, came out of nowhere and genuinely made me laugh
Saaame ahahha

Bruh 💀🤣🤣

That felt like a shout out to Turbro even though I know that isn't the case.
The knowledge the Vargas brothers have when it comes to rotary engines and tuning them is just totally insane! 🥰

true
Adam, matt rebuilt the Gt3 and I seen in his video he reached out to you but you brushed him off, what up with that?
Adam buying new cars is always fun, adding to the massive collection. Hyped you finally have a PROPER FD now.
Headlights look so good imo. Love the mazda logo in the center of the projectors. and the black/CF housings go great against the yellow
As a FD owner glad to see #4 on the channel...I can't wait to see you at 7s day
RX7 guys be talking like this too
Whats the issue with meeting matt and checkong out your old porche?

Rotaries puts a billion smiles on my face no matter what
Nothing like a good old Wankel
yup, love rotary's and how they sound, i just know i'm not responsible enough to ever own one myself.
@@sirmonkey1985this
I loved the lights when I saw them in the first clip of the car. Can't wait to see what you end up doing with it.
The lights look clean enough to be okay, but I think the OG's would be better.
the OGs are better until you gotta drive at night lol then you'll appreciate the newer bulbs
All this rotary videos from Adam have been great and personally im really enjoying them, but also hoping to see the 3 rotor build return soon 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Id completely forgot about the cosmo ! I was thinking what 3 rotor ??🤣🤣🤣
@@peterbaiter6422 no one can blame u bro, Adam's been so busy with all the other builds and his new ones that alot of us forgot the 3 rotor cosmo, i was think that he has a 2 and 4 rotor when he getting a 3 rotor and then i remember this man already has 2 and we mostly forgot it 🙈😂
Having a place for time trials is my favorite part of the compound. Great camera work too!
TJ Kept breaking diffs 😂
out of all the FD's youve got this is by far the best one yet. im also all about the OEM so i would change the headlights and probably the wing. keep up the solid content 👍
The lights are wierdly nice, i hope you see if they grow on you before replacing them
Love those headlights. Just the right touch of JDM spice. That engine build is *chef's kiss*. Also I love watching Vargas work. He's a dorito wizard.
Found your channel via Matt Armstrong. I hope you see how good a job he did on your old Porsche. Best wishes.
We need to see a video with exhaust change, tires, alignment. I bet it won’t slide as much and be a better time and hyped to see that

a colab with mat Armstrong would have been amazing
apparently a slow speed collision was reason enough to not do it
Colette has changed Adam for the better... Turning into a big rotary guy 🥹👉👈
We prefer to be called rotards.
I don't think she has anything to do with it honestly. Adam is just a car guy. Of course rotory engines were going to be something he would get to.
@@chandlerbraaten847 he never really drove a rotary before being with her. go back to the earlier videos when she was getting introduced into the videos back in California
@@wyattchilton15 I agree with both of you. He would have done it eventually, she just accelerated the process. Simple :)

For real such a bad move from Adam
agreed, i get that he doesn't want to drive it but he could at least comment on the rebuild
That car probably reminds him of the time he almost fucking died. His Ptsd doesn't want to look at it, or remember it exists. I don't fuckin blame him, amd yall are extremely insensitive.
Please dont ever get rid of this car. Im not a rotary fan but this is perfection.
It looks like it was originally tuned for a higher altitude, I think Adam is slowly becoming a dragster and I like 😎
Adam, you have to visit Spain, we have all good: bunch of circuits and drivers, rare cars,... así pones a prueba tu español !!
damn cant go wrong with pop up headlights
YES YES YES PREACH ADAM! I totally agree with " its not the rotary its everything around it"!
Yo Adam, please dont duck Mat Armstrong mate, hes a great lad doing great things
how so? Did Mat said something about it?
@@Yoyogarage Mat said in his video that Adam didn’t want to see the rebuilt Porsche. Mat was gracious about it. Offered to meet him anywhere he wanted. Mat didn’t put down Adam at all for not wanting to see it.
adam probably has some form of PTSD from the accident and seeing that car would just remind him of that time he could've potentially died, so i get it
@@keyokei best answer
@@colby78hurley Yeah! saw that video later
that rx7 is beautiful, definitely a dream car.
Nice pick up and I think you should keep the Tomei on it, Maybe get a muffler and add it to the exhaust should quiet it down a bit
And now Adam is living the rotary life 😂 can't wait to see where this keeps going haha
I like everything about the RX7 except the wheels and the wing. It needs a FD3S wing and some BBS LM wheels 👌🏾
Dam this video went straight to the point 🔥🙌🏼
i wish you saw your previous 911 that Mat rebuilt, not having you react to it kinda made the whole series seem unfinished...
Gotta love all this rotary content, makes me wish I went rotary in my MGB rather than K20
Its never too late to go rotary!
@@leebrock8386 well I already have the adapter, transmission, engine, cut the firewall, and built engine mounts so I’m committed loo

@@greeselightning2102 plan is about 200whp to start just N/A and sub 2000lbs, then bump up to about 300whp with a small turbo setup
Don't worry, unless you are balling and have all the contacts and sponsors like Adam, the rotary is more of a pain to keep running. K20 was the smarter move
Being Mitsi fan since day dot...hearing a rotary warms my heart! Made Love from 🇳🇿 Adam✌
Holes in both bumpers and the interior….I’m sure Adam will punt this one down the road if a nicer one pops up. The never ending pursuit of the perfect FD is likely to go on.
IMO, When it comes to pop-up headlights, I like the "Sleepy eyes" "Squinty" look with LED's or the RE-Amemiya flush like on TJ's
The headlights are sick. Hell the whole car is nice. Good buy buddy.
2:57 a car can’t ever braaap too loud cmon Adam 😂🔥💯
L for blowing off Mat… How could you?
The Vargas brothers are literally the best!
he really didnt want to even see his rebuilt gt3 that got wrecked?
Huh?
Those headlights are nice. Better than stuffing a HID bulb into a reflector housing which looks cringe and blinds people. This is a nice retrofit.
Seen your old GT3 on a matt armstrong video, i hope you will atleast drop a comment or say something about the work he has done.
Man I love ported rotaries and the FD, but the Datsun is definitely my favourite project so far! PLEASE, please do regular updates for the Datsun.

For the headlights. I feel like it's just the laser engraved logo that takes it to mild rice, but it's so nice.
Yo Adam, what are your thoughts on Matt Armstrong rebuilding your GT3RS?
Can probably add a resonator or 2 somewhere on the exhaust to clean up the tone. Would sound great.
I thought it was a rotary swapped NSX from the thumbnail😂
Wouldn't work with the NSX being transverse mount.
I thought it was a corvette
@@Hybridesque anything's possible
The lights really aren't bad, but they also kind of have the same vibe as "bowtie" shaped exhaust tips on a Silverado.
Should have embraced matt armstrong. Miss the bag their adam.
Everything is beautiful about that car I personally like the sound of it. Looking forward to more rotary content
Pretty weak to not meet with Mat Armstrong.
Adam doesnt really know how well the Borgwarners especially the efr compliments the rotary engines…

The headlights are retrofitted. They look great when turned on. I would just take out the mazda logo in it and keep it.

Lost some respect for you not doing a recap video with Matt Armstrong about the Porsche. Unfortunate.
“This thing scoots, boots, and shoots!” If that isn’t on some merch yet it sure needs to be
Go and see your old gt3 ….. face up to it ….. Matt Armstrong for the win
Shame You cant even comment on the job matts done with the GT3
Love the car I really love the feeling and sound of when the well tuned turbo cars get rowdy and this one did not dissapoint. Hope you have a good time on some backroads with this one and open it up a bit with a nice exhaust.
Headlights are super rice if you keep them you might as well put clear altezza rear taillights on it also 😂😂
The headlights are clean. Nice little touch.
the "brap brap brap" idle is my favorite engine sound
