Shouldn't this be in another section. I didn't see any RX-8s in that vid.

BTW, how 'bout a twin turbo LS1 like this:

"completely unheard-of" ???? I think not. Google it and you'll see that its been done many times before. LS1s are dropped in many different cars.

You are either continuing the parody and your attempt was not funny: meaning you have no sense of sarcasm, or you are a bit slow and are not getting "it" meaning you have no sense of sarcasm.

LabDad has a point. Ls1 swap has been done like X amount of times, and X is not 0

Aw come on man...

BTW, how 'bout we hijack this thread. Don't post unless you add a pic or link to a LS1 swap.

I can't quite say that I dislike the idea of an LS# RX-7, although it does make me feel somewhat uneasy.

However, I would feel absolutely no guilt in cramming one into a 240SX. Far greater power, probably better MPG I'm guessing, and also manages to shed over 100 lbs. off the car. The car ends up being actually lighter than a stock FD, and you can sleep soundly, having not cut up such a rare car.

Rare my ***! Come on out to Road Atlanta this weekend and I will show you how perfect the balance really is in a properly converted RX7. Nothing like have 300 plus lb/ft of torque at 2000 rpm. I totally love my RX8 but my 7 rocks.
