In this episode of Mighty Car Mods, the team delves into the enigmatic world of the FDRX7, a Japanese import with a notorious reputation for its rotary engine. Despite the skepticism surrounding rotaries, they aim to prove that with the right care, these engines can be reliable. The team embarks on a journey of upgrades, starting with suspension work and seat modifications based on viewer suggestions. They also tease a unique "comment section mod" and plan to enlist the help of their friend Omar to get the car running smoothly.
As they dive into the intricacies of the RX7, they uncover the importance of bush replacement for restoring the car's agility and steering responsiveness. The team meticulously presses out old bushes and installs new ones, enhancing the overall driving experience. Additionally, they upgrade brake lines and install coilovers tailored for road driving, ensuring a blend of comfort and performance. The attention to detail in these modifications showcases their dedication to revitalizing this iconic sports car.
The journey takes a twist as they recount their escapades in Japan, reminiscing about the allure of an RX7 versus a GTR. With a nod to past adventures and missed opportunities, they press on with the project, determined to bring the RX7 back to its former glory. A visit to Omar's workshop adds a professional touch, where they receive expert guidance on finishing touches and part installations. Despite encountering challenges with turbo fittings, the team's perseverance and Omar's expertise promise a triumphant end to this rotary resurrection.
