Very nice. :drivin:
there is a guy here in chattanooga that did one like that. his isn't turbo'd like that one though. he bored and stroked his.
There is a bunch of LS1/LS6 RX7s down here
Ditto, I know of a couple here. All FD'sQuote:

This guy gets paid to drift... He is actually one of my buddies. I just sold this car, and he is working on a FC with a Turbo LS1 swap right now.
He use to complain that the FD (in the video) wouldnt want to stay sideways... that it would always want to hook up and go straight.
His name is Luke Lonberger. Below is one of his websites, and I dont think that it has been updated in quite some time, but you can see the build up on that car...

and

This car was fast as hell... i think that it was one of the fastest cars that I have ever been in. I seriously believe that if he had slicks on it, it would easliy be in the 10's
A friend of mine is doing a LT1 FC swap. He told me the weight difference. That could be on a NA 13B though:dunno:Quote:

FB = What refer to as a 1st Gen RX7
FC = 2nd Gen
FD = 3rd Gen
ok thanks, i had a feeling thats what it was, but i wanted to be sure
He might want to fix his website FD designation. The chassis is an FD3S, not an FD33 (no such thing).Quote:

Each to his/her own I suppose.
No problemo I once was in the same position
yea theres a ls1 rx7 by me , its in ocean county , young kid , pretty cool
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:Quote:
Way to ruin one of the sickest sports cars ever made. Too bad the original 1.3 liter rotary would spank the LS1 up and down that track
theres a nice rx7 ls1 around here in dayton, very clean car and it runs mid 11's with just a cam and full exhaust.
The FD RX-7 motor is a big fail. The LS1 swap is a reliability mod as well as badass performance.
yea i believe the kid is running 12.40s or .50s around here .. nice red one
