ls1 powered rx-7 (yes, another one)
I know, I know. It's almost cliche... "ls1-rx7". But you know what? I haven't even tuned the car yet and it puts the biggest smile on my face since I felt boost with the old rotary. Torque @ idle is just too much fun. I'm not going to post details on the build here, they're too boring :) Check out my build thread @ norotors.
http://www.norotors.com/index.php?topic=4478.0 Will get the car aligned at some point to corner weight it, etc. Should come in sub 2900# w/o driver /w full tank fuel. No A/C, but have P/S, stereo, power windows, full interior, etc. Should be putting out 350-400 hp @ the tires. I have all the emissions crap on it too (what a pain in the ass). 4:10 rear gear, TSP stage 2.5 heads, 224/228 +114 lsa cam, etc. I have the itch so bad to just have a tuner tweak it a bit so I can stomp on it 100%, but I also have the itch to do it myself. I'm leaning toward the latter... just bought a new wideband O2 last week. Here's a pic of it up near Malibu/Las Virgines about 2 weekends ago. Anyway, got some vids of the car running. First fire: Walk around & exhaust clip: Street driving & cruising: |
Hey Mike. It was fun hanging out with you & your girlfriend the other day. Your car is intense. :drink:
|
I love these swaps. I would love to do one. :beer:
|
love LS fd's. :thumbs_up:
|
Looks great Mike, congrats!

It's fairly common because it's "full of win" as the kids say.

lol thanks guys. Me and my gf Fisa (has a yellow rx7, some of you know her and the car) have been meaning to come out on a cruise with you for a while. I think the last time we were out with you was when we went to the aviation museum over in Chino Hills... man that was forever ago. And before that I think it was street legals in 2009 and the RET dyno day last year... man time flies.
I have some work to do to the car before I can beat on it... since I got it running back in Feb I just got super lazy. Kinda wore myself out trying to get it running, so I decided to take a break and have fun with it, not put myself on a schedule. Anyway, look forward to coming out sometime. :drive: Quote:

Anyway, I've seen some really nice ones with all kinds of go fast goodies go for 20-30k in the last year or two. At least that's the impression I got from reading "for sale thread" crap on the 'net. For all I know it could have been more... or less. EDIT: Look at this black one. It's about as nice as they come... and he was asking 29k OBO. 485 hp/425 tq /w ls1 + all kinds of crap. http://www.norotors.com/index.php?topic=1337.0 |
