I don't hate on Rotary's... until they blow up... which is often. I kid. This had a well running N/A Rotary in it before. No complaints. I did this swap because I liked it, not because some dudes on RX-7 Club might or might not

V8 swaps are OK in my book. People shouldn't complain; it's an FC ON THE ROAD and NOT IN THE JUNK YARD.

The way I see it. The engine can always be removed and replaced with whatever you want. Running a v8 or whatever is just it's current running gear. Its like someone completely hating a car for a set of wheels. They can always be changed.

Nope, usually they have a clean *** body. If you bought one of those you could sell those wheels to pay for the interior swap and have a nice *** car.

That's dope. What'd that run you? I only stopped there to chat with the guys briefly. Thinking about doing the same as you and shimming the diff. Right now, I can't spin the tires to save my life. 18's could be the culprit, and sticky falkens.

I think the engine being sideways might affect performance a bit, though.

A good friend of mine just bought his first 7 yesterday (car in the foreground)



It's an 88 with full s5 conversion and a turbo swap.

Almost every weekend I'm out shooting some form of car racing or motorsports and I have so few shots of my own car lol... finally took one this weekend.


I got a really good price on a set of the reinforced FD wheels with decent Toyos so I bought some 20mm and 25mm spacers to run them until I refinish my MS-01's.. which I've been putting off because I'm scared to start sanding hahaha
