12 year old Liam Maddox built this 13b engine a little while back. As far as I know he is the youngest kid to have built one! I am happy to have been able to teach him and watch him take on the project! He ended up letting the car go after the engine was built because of a severely chewed up body harness, cracked dash and rust problems. However the engine went on to a turbo fc build, modified turbo externals were put on and the motor is now running in that turbo FC. Plans are to redo the body, paint and possibly interior at a later.

Liam is now working on his 13b SA22 track car project, 2003 Miata NB all motor build and his turbo 1jz savanna rhd fc3s build! I am helping him along while tinkering on my own GTUs build! Here is the video of his first engine build:

Remember that first car mad mike from redbull built? The first widebody Madbull 20b rotor? I wanted that car really bad. I decided I was going to make one after I finished my RHD FC rx7 build. I had owned a couple of them in the past however I never finished them. I got distracted with the fc build and put them aside each time. Once the RHD was finished and I had just about finished the 78 RHD savanna I wanted to build a RHD FD3S widebody like the madbull but with a full interior and street capable!

I started this build a long time ago. It was done before you could legally import them, before the iphone! So some of the videos and pictures are not the best. I cannot figure out how to get group uploads to post here so here is the link to more pictures!

Chris Weigel has one of the rare mazda rx7's first gens here in Oregon and this is the story of its build!
