Part 2 showcases the Kouki (facelift) Mazda FD RX-7 in multiple racing games. In which, has its own interesting appearances in racing games in comparison to its Zenki counter-part.

As I kinda done already, I wanted to dedicate a video to both designs of the FD RX-7 as I think they have enough differences to justify that.

Notes:
- The first video in this series where I include gameplay from Gran Turismo Concept 2002: Tokyo-Geneva. I honestly forgot that this game existed when doing earlier videos, which is a same as I could've included this game when covering the Nissan Skyline GT-Rs. Oh well, I'll remember this game whenever those cars get a follow-up video.
- I actually prefer the Kouki FD Mazda RX-7 to the Zenki as I thought the front bumper and wing on this made the FD look meaner and more focused compared to the earlier FD. Which annoys me that Mazda pulled the RX-7 out of production in the US prior to this facelift.
- Just in case you're wondering I'm using Zenki and Kouki as terms, that's because I learned that Zenki means "early model" and Kouki means "late model". They're words not limited to the S14 Silvia.

- This also is the first time I featured "Tokyo Road Race" or "Battle Gear 2" in one of these videos. That's because I couldn't get this game to work in the past. However, I got an updated version of PCSX2 a couple months back that's more optimized than the previous version I was using. Which is why the footage of some games like the Tokyo Xtreme Racer games are better than in my past videos.
- However, I still have quality improvements to work on, probably with further improvement to my computer.
- I would have loved to record the RX-7 Spirit R Type A in FM3 and 4, but it was a stupid unicorn car in those games (I still think the Unicorns are one of Turn 10's biggest sins btw). I had FM3 and 4 both at launch, but I didn't even know they were a thing until near the end of FM3's dlc cycle. and when FM4 came out, I still had no clue how to unlock them. I swear, if I ever do a countdown of my biggest racing game pet peeves; those unicorn cars will be on the list.
