Hey guys i'm building up an 83 RX7, I took a 88 13B Turbo engine and sub frame and swapped it into my 83. I was wondering if anyone has done this before?
Here's some pictures:






New tires are on the way!

 

tII swaps are very popular

 

I know that tii swaps are very popular but what about the sub frame swap?

 

yup, there is a write-up in the archives on how to do it, not very common but it has been done

 

I did it. I don't know why more people don't do it. Save a lot of time when mounting a newer engine and get better steering/brakes. I'd like to see pictures of your mounts and steering. Pictures of mine are in my sig.

 

main reason, i think, is that it puts people in a monster class.

(if they are interested in racing it.)

 

Looking very good! What are the specs on those wheels? offset etc? Any pics of the subframe portion of the swap itself? As they said above its been done before, but not by many people.

 

yep i wont do it cause i don't want to race in MOD against tube frame cars...

 

i am not sure on the offset but they are mark2 supra rims and the tires im geting are Yokohama AVS ES100 either 195/60/14 or 205/60/14 i have pictures of the subrfame going in too i will put them up in a bit

 

Yeah, i did it a couple of years ago to mine, Unfortunatley the classe I run in are all based on engine mods, and I am already in the top class due to my engine swap. So swapping the front crossmember to upgrade steering and brakes made sense.
