Throttle fd build
 

This is one of the best YouTube rx7 build, there is a lot of detail on the car. The engine, the v mount, and the titanium intake pipes are awesome.
checked it out...

There are a series of videos, I skept the body and paint part..

I have, and it's different. This guy didn't build the engine himself, but it showed what he did and was there. No tj hunt.

If you actually pay attention to the videos, micky doesn't really know what he's doing and he does very little of the work himself. Read between the lines on this one.....

I know that lol, but he doesn't seams to care and is learning along the whole thing. Lol its easy to tell actually..

I just like what he put together without having the knowledge of how it worked. I have to see the dyno sheet on this one , cause he mention 490rwhp and 400+ tq..at 12psi i heard correctly.

Well the issue is that he claims to have all sorts of knowledge and experience because he "worked with mad mike" and has built all these other cars. Meanwhile on his very own car you see how he handles it. Regardless of the chassis, mechanical knowledge and ability is universal....... which he seems to lack. He also uses the term "something I've learned....." a lot. Then that something ends up being common knowledge. Then he's real proud of himself for sharing the information #mickyspec.

[facepalm]

You got me there.. I was so into the car that I didn't or haven't seen his other cars build..

I'm not a fan of the bodywork or wheels, but still much better than the 'b is for build' clown whose youtube videos were linked on these forums a few months ago. I don't think there's any shame in relying on knowledgeable people, especially if you're located Southern California where there are probably a few different shops and tuners within 100 miles that could do a good job. The various different channels featuring the Monsterbox 4-rotor are still my favorite things on youtube, then maybe Defined Autoworks and some of the crazy machining and building Chips Motorsports is doing. I really enjoyed the RX7 videos on Jack Cecil 's channel too (BoostCrzy on these forums).

no one is faulting him for learning. There's nothing wrong with that. It's just him boasting and bragging all this time about having all this experience and knowledge and then when it comes to his own car all that experience and knowledge is no where to be found or demonstrated. It's a complete change of tone. During the whole build it was "learning" this and "let's figure it out" that. I think dude is a phony. Like I said before, outside of the engine stuff, everything else is just nuts and bolts and general maintenance. For someone that made all the claims he has, the assembly of his car shouldn't have of any difficulty whatsoever.

that's my beef with it. Had he not of bragged so much before his build, then I wouldn't care and would be all for his adventure into the world of car modding.

I liked Mickey's build. The guy is mechanically inclined, but not well versed in the rotary. Basically he did a lot of the little things that really makes a quality car while leaving the big important jobs up to the experts, and there is nothing wrong with that. To me, knowing when to outsource something has the same weight of trying and failing. Rob Dahm does the same thing to an extent. When you live in the rotary mecca, it makes sense to utilize the knowledge of some true rotor heads instead of taking the learning curve on your own.

Engine build - DNA garage
Tuning - Abel
Fab - some other guy
Wiring - Rywire i think

The Damn thing blew up.. I cant wait to see the experts to diagnose what happened. Destination? It's funny some how... reminds me of my car.. lol

17psi on pump can be considered pushing it a bit. Most with water or meth injection have it turn on well under that level to reduce the risk.

TwinCharged Rx7 wise words.

Gotta love HypeTube..... lol

don't understand all the hate on the young youtubers, its bringing alot more recognition to FD's and helping drive popularity of our cars. they are clearly not as knowledgeable as some of you on here, but they also don't claim to be.
