    Peoples reaction to
    James during his first few videos : He's abit too quiet and looks bored, he should be more excited
    James when hes more excited : He's trying too hard, too excited. I prefer old James
    New guy : Hes trying too hard to be James. Wheres James?

      Humber Abdulah dont think that’s the reason people are comparing the two. How I see it is that he’s trying to be James by being all hyper, moving his hands a lot, practically yelling, the usual James stuff. People just want to see him act like himself, like the other new guy on HiLow or Money Pit

    I was 21 in 1991, and bought a gold turbo 2 w/ 20k miles. Put every paycheck into it for 3yrs straight. Intercooler. Exhaust. Chip. Turbo. Bigger Fuel Injectors....suspension...etc etc. Best car I ever owned - wish I had saved it these past 30 yrs. Thanks for taking me back. This car was waaaay ahead of its time back then. It has aluminum susp arms, aluminum spare tire, and aluminum JACK from the factory. Throw in the all mighty rotary and its a wrap. I devoured MANY cars back then. The best was a hopped up GN built for dragging. And the RX7 can corner too. As far as reliability I sold mine with 170k and she still ran smoooooth like factory. xoxox

      @@santastalker7245 No... Learn how this works. A coronet and a superbee are not the same because of the vin. Same applies here. The vins are different between the GTUs that is stamped with a new vin, making it a different model of GTUs than those who are not restamped with a new vin. The non restamped vins are more rare than the final edition verts vins, making them the rarest vins to have been released by mazda. Thus making it the rarest to have been released.
      That is how this works, has always worked and will always work.
      So it is the rarest. Also, check your math buddy... Even if it was as you claim, its what place??? 1500 ae's, 1400 infinis, 1100 gtus and 150 verts and its what place???

    Good video and that Series 4 10th anniversary is amazing! The optional rear louvres are very rare by the way.
    The FC convertible was the only '92 model because the FD was an early model year release as a '93 (March-April '92 I think).
    I just wanted to add there is a shift light in the cluster Mazda added to help the driver get better mileage from the thirsty rotary.
    There was also an auto adjust switch (normal & sport mode) on the center console that controlled a solenoid on each strut.
    The four inch rear speakers are in the strut tower in an enclosure and their own amplifier.
    They have dynamic control bushings in the rear that change rear toe to aid turn in at speed.
    The GTUs had an aluminum hood and was the only N/A RX-7 to have one.
    The Japanese models had rear seats that couldn't fit anyone with legs.
    I love the FC RX-7 and I still have my '86 Sport that I bought in 1992 when I came back from Japan.

    Late to the game, but a couple items:
    The wheels are different left & right. The design was intended to draw air from under the car, over the brakes, and outside the car. I had tire guys not pay attention and mount directional tires onto the directional wheels incorrectly and made them re-mount everything.
    The turn signal and cruise control stalks looked like pinball machine paddles. They took less movement than longer conventional stalks. The cruise control side was especially easy to use, requiring less movement of your hands than even the steering wheel mounted buttons do today.
    I like the white mirrors. I had a white '86 that was vandalized and required painting one door and replacing both mirrors ( which only came in black then). So I had the mirrors painted to match, giving me body-colored mirrors before they were offered.

    Am I the only one who loves Jeremiah and doesn't think he's imitating James in any way? They're just both passionate about cars and I love them both!

      There was one episode where he pretty much read a script meant for James that everyone is referring to. But I like him as a host they'll capture his personality in future scripts I'm sure

    My buddy had one in highschool and he would wedge the high beam on and the clear glass would be lite up at night while the parking lights where on. Looked super cool. We got it up to 155 mph one time also.

    The headlights are so cool, I love the clear lense idea for when they're closed

      The clear lens is lame, I'd rather have the DRLs in that spot instead.
