I put together some old footage of my first gen and made a movie that shows the car being brought back to life. Thought it would be neat to make something out of all of the movies I collected of the car.

It was a 2 1/2 year project, and I miss that old car. I'm contemplating buying another first gen in the near future. Anyway, enjoy the video everyone. I spent a couple of days putting it together. It is about 40 megs and 5 minutes long. I have posted it on Google and YouTube. I think all of you 1st gen fellas will get a kick out of it. Let me know what you think. Later!

time to update that sig picture i guess ... good work updates hopefully i'll have my own video

 

All I can say is, Damn fine job!!!! You really have alot to be proud of there. Congratulations on bringing another first gen back to life. I can relate with you on that issue. My '83 GSL sat fo 7 years dead to the world. It gives you alot of joy bringing one of these cars back!

 

BTW, if just for any of you who are curious, this car is "Kim's FB" which is now the only supercharged 12A on the board. This car was taken to even greater height after it left my hands....

 

Nice work!

 

Oh, this is kims. Thats a cool video. Good job. I like the color you chose. I love white FBs/SAs. Congrats on bringing it back fromthe dead. It looks like you need to straighten out the steering wheel, or get an alignment. I like it though. You should get a RB torque engine brace. It's awesdome, you actually get a liitle bit more torque, because it keeps the engine still when you rev it. Congrats once again.

 

I thought it was when i was watching the video. Nice work on the car and the video.

 

Great vid and a damn fine job on the restoration. Time to start another one. Btw, from an old guy, great music too, lol.

 

Damn cant see the vid ( blockage at workie).

Man I need to get on here more often, I didnt even know you sold the car Jamie.

 

vary vary nice

 

very nice video - was a little fuzzy to me though. anyway, excellent work on the car. was that engine streetported? i thought i detected a little depth to it when prodded - just curious. but yeah ... damn fine!

 

That's my baby! Very nice video Jaime. I love it.
Sounds great doesn't it? I miss that sound.

As you guys can see this 1st gen has had alot of time, love, and dedication. The best thing that could of ever happen to this RX-7 was Jaime and I. It has been spoiled ever since.
You can't help but to fall in love with it once you see it in person, and the feeling escalates once you have driven it. Very hard to explain, but it can be felt the minute you open the driver side door. I believe this car has soul

 

nice. a whole lot of work went into that car. you need to practice your donuts though

what was the first song?

 

Haha, I was trying to take it easy on the rearend whilst doing the "donuts." The song is "Renegade" by Styx. It's the same song all the way through....

 

very nice editing, and very very good craftsmanship

 

Good job man, I thought I was thorough with my restoration, you even painted your transmission! Good job btw, I need a video camera.
