Well, I've had a v8 in my 7 now going on 3 years. I built the car while I live in North Carolina in the country for country roads. While the car is great in the country I now live in a metro area. So before I can even wind out a gear I'm stuck in trafic or worried about speed limits 'cause of all the cops. Even though the car is hellishly fast and handles great, there is just no where to REALLY drive it. So I'm thinking about swaping in a N/A 13b. So I can hear the engine sing more and have a more fun to drive car. A 13b has to work harder and you have to shift more to go fast on the few back roads we have here and there for will be more fun and more rewarding (I hope). With the V8 I can keep the car in third and outrun what I would do in my GSL-SE "shifting mad kwick yo". This will also be an exersice in weight control as the car is basicly striped of "unneeded" items: HVAC, etc. My goal is no more than 2000 lbs. Anyway just though I'd make the anouncement that I may be coming back to the rotory world, though I never left the Rx-7 world.

 

cool! yeah my 83 was fun cause it made you, the driver work to go fast

 

glad to see you are coming into the light, lol. seriously, i wish you luck with the swap and hope all goes well.
