lol i couldent tell now that i look at it more the front end does look like a corvette lol
Definatly Fd
it’s a veilside FD.
Yeah, RX7’s are amazing cars other than the engine. This is actually a project we’re going to be doing in the coming weeks, though not to this car.
Ding ding, winner.
WOW. i knew those headlights looked like veilsides under the sheet.
The never ending project is slowly getting to the point where its drivable again.
What headlights…
quick picture I snapped of bucky’s car.
My newest car. vsxxx’s, maxed out teins.
lol we’ve been had!
why not use an ls1 or 1jz?
the car would feel sluggish with an sr imo unless the sr was done up. inwhich case it would hav been cheaper to just use a different engine in the first place.
huh? This car is getting a bridgeport 13b, with a ginormous turbo. Aiming for 580whp.
We’re doing an FC with a 2jz over the winter, as well as an FC with an sr.
Yeah. I wanna come play with my camera. Be good to have some build pics and vids man. Get your dudes’ own reality show someday, for real.
LS1 is a good but expensive swap, Joe (the RX7 specialist in the shop) completed one in an FD not too long ago… awesome car.
JZ engines are pretty heavy, a LOT heavier than the stock 13B that you can pick up by yourself.
The SR20 swap isn’t to make a ridiculously fast car or anything, just something comparable to stock that you can trust to get your body around every day. There is an FC at the shop with a seized motor and SR parts laying around everywhere. It won’t be any more sluggish than an S13 with an SR, and if it doesn’t have enough power it’s pretty cheap to make some more from an SR.
Best of both worlds, good condition FC shells are not hard to come by like S13s… and with pistons you could trust it to drive to Florida and back.
And to keep this sort of on topic, a picture of a motor that I’m going to put into one of my S-chassisssesis’s. Not sure which one is going to be the daily driver though.
is that the high comp lime green top ??
well the car is getting there, motor swap done, still a shit load of work to do
well i thought you ment you were putting it to an fd.
which WOULD be sluggish.
an fc would love an sr though.
Yeah, it’s like 23:1 compression with JDM 373 cams.
wtf?
