Welcome back to Episode 12 of our Mazda FD RX-7 LS1 Build series! In this episode, we’re tackling two crucial aspects of this epic project: optimizing airflow to the radiator with custom aero ideas and dialing in the stance to strike the perfect balance between function and style. This build is all about creating the ultimate fusion of performance, reliability, and head-turning looks, and we’re getting closer to the finish line with every step! Here’s what’s going down in this episode:
🔧 Aero Upgrades: We’re brainstorming and implementing creative ways to direct airflow to the radiator, ensuring the LS1 stays cool even under intense performance. From air ducts to splitter designs, we’re diving into aerodynamic solutions that are both effective and visually stunning.
🔧 Fixing the Stance: It’s all about achieving that flawless stance that not only looks aggressive but also enhances performance. We’re fine-tuning suspension settings, adjusting ride height, and ensuring the wheels and tires sit perfectly in the fender wells. This FD RX-7 build is shaping up to be a one-of-a-kind machine that blends the timeless style of the RX-7 with the raw power and reliability of the LS1 engine. Whether you're here for the tech talk, the build progress, or just to enjoy some car content, this episode has something for everyone! 👉 Don’t forget to LIKE this video, SUBSCRIBE to the channel, and turn on notifications so you don’t miss the next episode in the series.
