well im sure most people wouldn't go with a wood wheel but its not for performance it's for my style im in to the lux/drift crazy look. gutted interior with a wood wheel will look crazy.

If you knew how to tune a rotary, your car wouldnt need an LS1.

haha

I'm just messing with you.

We get no love on this forum.:lol:

Nice progress, my friend. You seem mechanically adept -- why not build the motor yourself?

ihavetwins 05-16-08 07:11 PM

im sorry i just think putting an LS1 in car that was meant to have a rotary is just plain fucking stupid, but, i still have love for the motor just not in my car. to be honest with you this is the first time i have ever done anything like this, if i had the money i would pay to get it done, there is a reason why im doing it my self this time...... but i rather not get in to that. i didn't want to build my motor cuz i have no prior experience on it. i plan on buying a blown one and see if i can build it but we will see.

anyway had some time today so i took my calipers off sprayed them silver. im pretty happy i wasn't trying to get them perfect just hated the faded red from the last owner.
