Going with an LS1 swap? I do love me some LS1's :P. That white FD was tuned by my brother Rick at Synergy Motorsports. If you need anything LS1 or late model GM he's gonna be your go to guy Good luck with your build!

 

I'm still trying to source a motor and tranny, would he have any for sale?

 

I just asked him about sourcing one. He recommended a junk yard as the best possible place to source one. I have heard LS1tech and any LSX forum is a decent place as well. Keep your eyes peeled

 

haven't done much to the FD, but i've finished up my other project

 

quick update

got my steering wheel hub, momo deep dish suede steering wheel, and a complete nitrous kit from my buddy (bottle and main line not pictured)

i'm looking to up the jet to a 50 shot dry nozzle for the LS1

 

Good luck with your build. Have you found a Engine and tranny combo yet?

btw: I was the guy that almost bought your Rotary engine haha.

 

hey! whats up! lol

i haven't really been looking for the ls1/t56 yet, there's a bunch floating around and even complete cars at the auctions so i'm sure when i'm ready, there's gonna be one for me, my concern now is to get the body fixed and engine pay painted before i throw anything into the bay

 

haven't done an update in a long time, the car has mostly been sitting at my bodyshop, with slow progress

spent last month pulling the frame and straightening the front end, removing all components and painted the engine bay matte black


brand new oem headlight covers and hood latch cable


got some new wheels, 18x9.5" +22 volk ce28n in gunmetal w/ polished lip, 265/35/18 yokohama advan's


painted matte black, installed all of the components back


removed the front windshield to get the car ready for paint




here is my new color, from the mazda 3's and rx8's, the name says it all


jammed the rear hatch

 

made a lot of progress since my last post

picked up a passenger side JDM fender, which had a side marker originally, so i shaved it









sitting at home

 

new tail light hardware



picked up a LS1 swap from a local forum member, made 425whp and 370wtq




samberg v1 radiator/intake kit


picked up a set of 1 3/4" spoolin' performance long tube headers

 

got a set of modified corvette fuel rail covers from matthel @ the shop san bruno


ordered a PEZ power steering conversion line


picked up a samberg performance subframe mount kit, i still need to powdercoat this before i can mount it up

 

I love that color! Any pictures of it in the sun? This is a pretty sweet build, but needs more updates

 

this is the only picture i have of it in the sun

 

got the car swap ready, put it on jackstands and dropped out the stock subframe with control arms and knuckles as a whole unit

 

powdercoated the samberg kit in purple

 

lowered on espiler springs

wheels are 18x9.5" +22 with 265/35/18 all around, i raised up the car without suspension to see if it would rub or touch, so far so good

 

towed the car over to THE SHOP SAN BRUNO to get the motor put in



in the background, you can see matthel (the owner's) ford raptor DD and his 500whp/500wtq LS7 powered FD

 

Good Luck with build! Matthel is a really cool guy. When I was building my car he supplied me with a lot of stock parts I needed since he does so many LS swaps he just has a lot of FD parts. I think he still has his Rotary powered FD too. His V8 FD sounds mean.

 

sold the samberg v1 radiator/intake kit due to low ground clearance and i picked up a new samberg v2 radiator/intake kit, hopefully this is better won't get damaged

 

 

distribution block for battery relocation

 

Sick build !! Does that shop tune rx7s also??
