You're not the original owner of that fuel setup are you? Looking at those pictures I am pretty sure I built that setup for an FC. I hope the hardlines for the " Y " splitter don't hit your firewall. If they do just shoot me a PM and I could probably just easily re-bend them. Setup/Car is looking good...

In the midst of a world of RX-7's with V8's, im standing my ground and keeping my swap Rotary. Thats the point of owning an RX-7, because of its unique motor and body design.
Although i have thought bout the V8 swap(ls2 swap), espcially after riding in my friends LS1 fc(making 468 to the wheels). I love rotaries to much to do that.
dont get me wrong, V8 RX's are fun and fast. but Rotary= PURE AWSOME.

I'm a firm believer that at the end of the day a fast/fun car is a fast/fun car. Jaime and I have talked about this a couple times and we both have mutual respect. We both agree that how one intends to get there has a lot to do with personal preference. He thinks the rotary is cool and wants to build his verison of perfect one. Props to him for doing it and we'll definitley have some good times flogging both cars when he's done.
The only issues I ever seem to have with rotary folks is either with misinformation or blind statements of opinion presented as fact. It doesn't matter what Mazda "meant" to be. My car is what I meant it to be and no one else's opinion matters. Same goes for Jaime's: Mazda certainly never intended for him to run a big single turbo (blue no less) but he's free to do what he wants. Heck he's free to weld wings on the side and see if he can fly.
Diversity makes this world great... it's no fun just following along like sheep. I say paint this bad boy your favorite shade of purple and don't look back.

Hell, I'm the owner of that LS1 FC and I still approve of this swap (though to set the record straight I should probably say I only made 462 to the ground... )
