The Pagani V12-Swapped RX-7 From the Genius Minds of Kyza, Live To Offend, and Gooichi Motors

The PistachioFD is no ordinary Mazda RX-7. With its distinctive green livery, massive LTO bodykit, and aggressive stance, this car commands attention wherever it goes. But it's not just about looks - under the hood lies a monstrous Gooichi built Mercedes M120 V12 race engine with goals of 1000 NA horsepower, making this one of the most extreme RX-7s in the world.

If you're a fan of this car, or just curious about what went into its creation, you'll want to check out the latest video from legendary automotive photographer and videographer Larry Chen. In the PistachioFD Build Breakdown, Larry takes us through the key features of this remarkable machine, from the custom bodywork to the engine swap.

But it's not just a technical overview - Larry also captures the beauty and drama of PistachioFD with his signature style and attention to detail.

So if you're ready for some automotive eye candy, head over to Larry Chen's YouTube channel and check out the PistachioFD Build Breakdown. You won't be disappointed!

SEMA 2022 Pit+Paddock Best Performance Car

SEMA 2022 Pit+Paddock/Radium Best Performance Car

What a whirlwind of a SEMA trip it was for us. With out a doubt it was the most intense stressful SEMA trip we ever have made. Delays with the paint/bodywork caused us to scramble with all hands on deck working 24/7 the week prior to SEMA. Although we didn't finish the car 100% we did our best and made a straight 40+ hour drive to Las Vegas, not even knowing if the car would be excepted to be displayed in the Toyo Treadpass.

After a year of hard work we had to try. Numerous sponsors were excited to see the car there. Kyza/LTO were debuting their FD Bodykit on Pistachio as well... added pressure for sure! But all the dedication our team had truly paid off!

We were awarded the 2022 SEMA Best Performance Car awarded by Pit+Paddock and Radium Engineering! This is the second time this car has won at SEMA including the Super Street/Meguiars Best in Show award at SEMA 2017!

Humbled is an understatement! Thank you to everyone involved with this ever evolving build! We are excited for 2024 and the SEMA crunch for us has already begun!

GMS Slotted Shift Knobs

183:804881795 (Sam Morris) — Sun, 13 Sep 2020 15:48:21 GMT

New Release of our Slotted Titanium Shift Knobs!

We are proud to debut something we have been working on for quite some time. Introducing our line of slotted GMS shift knobs! The retro modern design was stylized after 70s era Porsche knobs incorporating some touches of minimalist style.

We wanted to bring something fresh to the market. The slotted design not only is visually appealing but adds surface area to the knob which allows for a unique extreme grip experience.

These knobs are precision CNC machined out of 6al-4v Grade-5 Titanium. Offered in Raw and Soft Satin Finishes. Our design has incorporated a shift adapter to fit a variety of platforms.

Each shift knob will be individually numbered and arrive in special vintage letter press packaging.

Exclusive Editions

We also have an Exclusive Edition that is offered in exotic materials. First to debut is our Timascus line! These shift knobs are machined out of a special, forged for this project, Timascus metal. This material is layered Grade 2 and Grade 5 Titanium and forged together to produce this wood grain effect. The knobs are mirror polished before being torched to bring out the colors.

These Exclusive Edition shift knobs will arrive in special packaging and will also be individually numbered.

Thank you all for your continued support! This project is something we have been working on for quite some time and we are proud for it to now see the light! Stay tuned for more finishes and materials to be released throughout the year! Thank you again!

Hot Wheels Legends Tour 2019

Well the 2019 50th Anniversary Hot Wheels Legends Tour was a blast! It is the world's largest international traveling car show! We were lucky enough to be asked to be a celebrity judge at both the Atlanta and hometown Miami stops, bringing out Pistachio to both events!

The Legends Tour is a car show unlike any other! The cars entered are about as diverse as you will see, from rat rods, to import cars, to crazy creations that don't fit into any category! These events showcase and celebrate creativity, authenticity, and garage spirit. If you think your ride has any of these, or if you just want to check out some cool rides, check the Hot Wheels Legends page listed below for a stop near you!

Congrats to Greg Salzillo and Dave Ford for taking home the 2019 tour win in their custom '57 Nash Metropolitan. Their one-of-a-kind build will be immortalized as an iconic Hot Wheels 1:64 die-cast car, hitting stores nationwide in 2020!

The epic announcement was made at the 2019 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. A team of celebrity judges and Hot Wheels designers selected "The Nash" from almost 5,000 entries for its embodiment of Hot Wheels' challenger spirit and legendary design!

Super Street SEMA Awards 2017 with Meguiar's

Wed, 05 Feb 2020 05:41:34 GMT

SEMA 2017 Super Street/Meguiars Best in Show goes to PistachioFD!

It's finally catching on... Three years ago, RJ de Vera of Meguiar's and I pulled our heads together to create something called the Super Street SEMA Awards. We didn't have any sponsors or big budgets to work with; we were just two car guys who loved our industry and wanted to do something about bringing recognition to the builders who go unnoticed at the SEMA Show every year. These individuals don't have a huge team of workers or deep pockets on their side, but they have a dream, they bust their asses, and they embody what it means to be a standout car builder in our community. A big congrats goes out to Sam Morris, Jason Pham, and Ryan Basseri.

Partnership with HGT Precision

Sat, 04 Jan 2020 16:45:21 GMT

We have partnered with HGT Precision for SEMA 2019. We will be running their full sequential 6-speed transmission in our Srt8 project Killmode!

Transmission shrapnel

We have had ongoing transmission problems for years (we just like the boost a little too much), and after our last debacle when we scattered our transmission all over the dyno, we started looking into other options. Everything changed when we stumbled across HGT Sequential.

Why did we choose HGT? Strength and dependability where my 2 requirements when looking for a transmission. With HGT's proven track record, and being in some of the most extreme street/race cars out there, it was a no brainer!

Bulletproof design, World Class Quality

These cases are machined out of solid 60kg chunks of 7075-T6 Aluminum billets with tolerances down to 7 microns. While it’s an expensive material, it is the strongest aluminium alloy available and is the industry standard for many aerospace and military applications. Swiss cut gears are diamond ground to a DIN 5/6 finish, one step away from Formula 1 levels! Every millimeter of these transmissions have been painstakingly over engineered. Using the highest quality materials, components, and machining processes the world has to offer makes HGT PRECISION is simply the best.
