Looking for an FD to film and showcase

Hello gents. There is a popular guy on youtube that goes under the name of saabkyle04. I'm sure some of you have heard about him or seen his videos. He has over 440,500 subscribers and 1576 video showcases of various cars at time of writing and he's looking for 90's jap performance cars to showcase on his channel. He's already done an FD before, but he wants to make a better HD version with a different car etc.

The video of the FD


He will accept modified cars, but they must be tastefully modified cars only.


Here is what he wrote on his facebook page...

Hey everyone! I'm looking for everyone's help on locating certain cars for future videos. Since everyone has thoroughly enjoyed the Supra video, I think it's time to begin a quest of finding and filming all of the iconic Japanese sports cars of the 1990s (Acura NSX, Mazda RX-7, Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4, etc). I do have old videos of the NSX and RX-7, but I want to make new videos on them. If you know anyone who would be willing to have me film an In Depth Review on one of these cars, please send me an email to kyle@saabkyle04.com or saabkyle04llc@gmail.com. My long term goal is to make a playlist to be featured on the main channel page with all of the videos in them. In addition, I'll be happy to promote your channel/organization in the video, introduce you on camera or give you a shout-out in the same way I would do for dealers or what I did for the guy in the 2014 Corvette Stingray video. The cars preferably need to be in original condition and in good shape (like the cars I typically film). Keep in mind travel distance may be restricted unless an organization is willing to assist with long distance travel costs. I am local to the Winston Salem area of North Carolina and will travel upwards of 2-3 hours if the situation presents itself! Thank you everyone for your help! Hopefully, with your help, we can track these cars down soon!

I watched the video, and chuckled to myself as he openned the window then closed the door... thinking to myself how many times I had to unlock then open/shut my door again when I have the windows up.

I sent in an e-mail. It's a long shot, but it would be cool if my CYM R1 is featured. My car's in NC, which isn't too far away from them so hopefully I've got a chance!

If someone's willing to help with his travel to Australia, that'd be awesome...but for now, you get the R1. :P

No offense to those in this thread (which means I'm likely to offend someone), but if you are going to feature a car; you should feature a car that people will be interested in... A mostly stock car is not going to be all that interesting to most car folks. I would recommend some of our more experienced members pictured above. Those are cars people would be interested in knowing more about and ones which would represent the FD3S well. Just a few suggestions of the many interesting owners/cars found on this forum.

According to Saabkyle04's criteria, his preference is a (mostly) original car. He could accept a (tastefully) modified car as well. Nothing against any of the RX-7's pictured above since...let's face it, they all look incredible.

I think the fact that travel won't be an issue for him to see my car helped in his decision too.

My opinion, I think it'd be pretty neat to feature both--a relatively stock CYM R1 so he can cover differences between that and a typical USDM FD, and then another FD of the caliber you've listed above for the in-camera ride for the viewer.

Shoot, I would like my YouTube channel to exclusively feature all types of Mazda rotary driven vehicles.
