rotary owners look away
 
LS1 anyone?

dosen't sound right, hearing what is clearly a v8 in an rx7... almost like someone dubbed the audio track :p

thumper 01-23-2009 07:11 PM

thumper 01-23-2009 07:18 PM

this just like the guys that but the 5.0's in the Miata's or the Datson 510

cool on him to build it sounds great..

no LS1 will ever make it into my RX7's engine bay..

a N/A 3rotor P-port maybe... :D

You wouldn't consider improving your car for the sake of "purity"?

There's already a local rex with an LS1. Nice guy too, car sounds mean =]

Lots of LS1 powered miata's on the road. The LS1 goes in anything :) Here's one against a Ferrari F430

Sorry I also have to add this one. You could also be really cool and put a V12 in the RX7 or a miata:

Emphasis on experiment. In this instance your dealing with a two decade old design and the rotary was probably the weak link. Without the LS1 this car would probably be "elsewhere".

I've always said pistons are the best thing you can put in an RX7.

Death2Theft 01-25-2009 10:49 AM
Are you refering to the black one?

ya but he can't drive.

was at a track day with him. too much power, not enough driving skill.

shenmecar 01-25-2009 01:15 PM
ive seen that before. and a SA22 with a V8 as well. lol

Death2Theft 01-25-2009 03:18 PM
Not really that suprising on fc's as the fc looksl ike a 944 and they've been swapping ls1's in 944's for some time now.
