I really want to see this car in person, looks very nice, I’d love to do a project like this some day. > [@neonglh](#): > > LS1’s burn tons of oil. Honestly, it seems hit or miss. Alot of guys on [LS1gto.com](http://LS1gto.com) say that they go through oil in their GTO’s with the LS1/2 and then others don’t. I have not seen my LS2 go through a drop between oil changes ever, some people were reporting problems with 5K miles on them. I think it is all in how you break the engine in. > [@TrueBlue](#): > > Uh, he’s had both FDs and an LSx. I know, which is exactly why I said that he removed the POS rotary. ---

Got to drive the car to my house on wed so I can start working on the new (replacing the current mad jdm one) radiator shroud. Its SOOO much fun. Its hard not to like this car once you ride in it or drive it. EDIT: A guy here at work has a midly modified 93 RX7… his face was priceless when I started it up for him… and even better when we went for a quick spin. 😃 Dan ---

Well, I started tinkering a little but no real progress. To do so I really need to get it in the garage. For some reason, I cant get the cabrio started. So, since I needed to anyway, Im puling the motor quick so its easier to push in and out. Its all unhooked now minus the downpipe and motor mounts. Hopefully it will be out of the car tomorrow, the bish pushed outside and the FD in, yay! Actual progress on it this week for sure. Brent, whats that mystery blue wire that runs across the core support? Dan ---

Mystery blue wire is the fan turn on wire from PCM. It’s the ground side of the relay control. If you can hide it somewhere, that’d be sweet. :snky: ---

So, the car is pretty much done.
