just like someone who’s no gentleman, and also has a complete lack of discernment, to post their own self-worship yourube video in here …

Is the internet broken yet?

 

Something for your stormy Sunday afternoon

 

Nope

 

I just happened to watch a few car related videos on tube the other day and this came up. Opened a bit of a rabbit hole for me but what an incredible machine and unique history! I've been an automotive enthusiast for easily 25+ years and I can't ever recall coming across this street car for some reason. Truly a work of art inspired by one of the greatest eras of motorsport imo.

Never seen Kidston's channel before but very high quality content imo

Jay's vid from 5 years ago (didn't see it) driving a 1/1 modded version

Ben Collins's drives the real thing, wow

 

My Channel isn't much but I posted a video on restoring the Rat's nest. I mainly did it because I haven't been able to find a solid video on this process the way I have done it over the years. I'm hoping it will help those out in the future that want to keep the sequential setup as we are a dying breed. RX7BRUH made a great video explaining how the system works. I feel like we need more good RX7 content out there.

 

The Car Guys drive a Lexus LFA:

 

absolutely am 100% for those kind of useful videos.

the attention harlot clickbait merchandising crap like the one immediately above this post, not so much …
.

 

17 yo in-car race vid, so not the best quality, and likely only hardcore racers are going to enjoy the ever escalating crescendo of straight-cut transmission gearing and driving aggression required to climb out of the middle of the pack to first place …


along with zero vanity and no trying to be entertaining buffoonery either
.

 

This one seems out of left field, but skip to about 39 minutes. then go back and look at the cool stuff they have

 

Past few days have been rainy and gave me time to play around online. Found a couple cool new channels.

Extremely thoughtful and well put together video full of great observations and anecdotes to modern car culture and ownership.

Also found this awesome Aussie tuning company. Woah their products are serious quality. I personally really like the GR86 and imo captures some of the magic that the 'hero' cars of the 90's personified.

Enjoy!

 

Latest reason to love Vargas Bros and continue to give them business (sarcasm)

 

the existance of that Harrop kit is about the one reason I wouldn't mind an 86

 

How these guys are still in business is beyond me. I guess this project was passed on to this guy. Iori's boyfriend was working on it on his channel but hasn't posted anything in about 3 months.

 

David Mazzei (Mazzei Formula / Monsterbox) is building something pretty special. I'm sure most of you have seen it already, but it deserves a spot here!


Lots of great content on his page - go check out the other vids too!

 

Ok, not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but sweet timelapse of big skills. 9000rpm flatplane goodness at the end

 

Just happened to come across this movie. Never seen or even heard about it before. It's utterly brilliant! Haha. So many great scenes, no way to pick just one. Highly recommended.

Not to mention this incredible gem of a documentary, hosted by none other than Sam Posey and Jim Hall. Seriously incredible movie if this topic interests you. So much historic race footage!

Just grab some popcorn and enjoy!

 

if anyone is fan of Project Binky, Richard did an interview here, i thought it was fun
as usual zero Rx7 content, although it is an amazing project, and is it possibly the best presented build?

 

oh and this might just be for me and Federighi
but this channel has a lot of interesting historical stuff,

 

 

this was discussed some in a thread in the single turbo area

guy swapping a 13BREW into a BMW i8 (???), he had a custom Inconel turbo manifold and aluminum intake manifold 3D printed (separate videos)


he bought the engine out of a fire damaged FD for $950 not knowing what he was really getting, only to discover upon teardown that it was essentially a near new, fully tricked out, performance built engine in near perfect condition. Lucky guy.
.

 

Luck definitely seems to be on his side with the discovery of a high-performance engine in such great condition!

 

This guy always has great cars driving with .... zest

Trying to make it better.
Open for suggestions.

 

^ if you are looking for feedback on how the video was put together here are some of the things to consider

- Some sort of intro within the video, so that the viewers know where you are at and what you are doing. Example, "Hey this is X and we are on the tail of dragon, come along for a ride in my X Mazda RX7.
- Maybe throughout the video, give the viewers some info on your car. Engine setup, suspension, wheels and tires
- Lastly some sort of outro. "That was a ton of fun, if you ever thought about coming out to the tail of dragon, I highly recommend it. Appreciate you all riding along, stay tuned for the next video where we X... "
