Not to be an ***, but I think he's talking about buying Ziper's TII, which obviously I was interested in buying a while ago. Why are you selling it Dave?

Btw, looks like Steve converted another one to the dark side of the LS1.

 

im moving to Japan! dont want to pay shiping to take it wiht me lol Sucks cuz I love this car When I get settled I want to get a car, tough choice what to get I would like to try a R33 because ther not cheap here or I was thinking new Mustang its expensive but I can get my dad to send me parts for it. Represent American power!

 

anyone interested in trying to get another meet going on before the weather starts to get bad maybe a early october late september meet just throwing the idea out there

 

ill go but wont have a car lol.. hoping on winning a LS1 tonight tho! ebay baby!!

 

Moving to Japan? Sounds like a lot of fun dude. Didn't you say your wife was from Japan? Are you guys moving back to where she's from?

Yea, sucks you can't take it with you. I gotta admit, I'd be super jealeous if you got a Skyline. I've always wanted one but will probably never have the money for one. Would be cool to have an American muscle car over there too.

 

Yeah i wasn't trying to start drama, just telling him he had another shot to buy that FC, sorry if it looked that way.

 

we mite travel a little befor we settle down. we want to find work near her home town.

 

Where's she from? One of the bigger cities like Yokohama or somewhere more remote? I would love to go and see Japan sometime. You'll have to get some pictures and tell us what it's like!

 

Niigata is her hometown but its not a town its as big as the qc area with more stuff taller bulidings bullet train mountain and ocean view

 

ian i have these sweet fart cans down here that would look really good on your gf's fc to bad we couldnt get that thing to fire up it will though it will

 

Tuesday is hopefully the day. I had to bribe Blade into coming down on his day off to help check out stuff. I am really hoping that the problem is that something is plugged in and shouldnt or vice versa. I do think it has something to do with the other wire going into the coil pack. I checked mine again and on your S5 it read 0.5 volts whereas mine reads 0.03 volts. I was thinking it was 0.3 when I talked to you.

 

Sounds like a lot of fun Dave. Make sure you take pictures and tell us about it!

 

can anyone shave 5mm or know anyone who can shave 5mm off the hubs of my wheels? i dont care about the stability of the wheel as it will be for strip only with my extra set of wheels..

anyone know of a LS1 and 6 speed here somewhat local for sale! im havin a issue finding one! mileage is unimportiant to me as long as it is complete and good.

 

For a LS1 I'd try talking to Jesse. I know he's got a lot of hookups around the QC area and knows quite a few people. I'm sure Steve could hook you up with his number and such.

 

auto acres.

 

steve i called auto acres and they keep telling me 7 grand for the motor.. im like what!! lol

 

thats cause your asking for one out of a camaro ask for one out of a truck then find a tranny i could have got a 5.7 or 6.0 i cant remember out of a 2000, 2500 series silverado for 800 dollars you might have to change a few things but in the long run it would be worth it cause you would have alot of extra money in your pocket

 

Hi guys, another iowan noob..or resident mazda idiot. Name is Jeremy, I'm from Pacific Junction, IA, about a mile away from MidAmerica Motorplex. No rx-7 for me, but I am looking. Also, I have some body issues I need worked out on a different car if someone can do body work.

Also, on the motor, I can find you the motor you need, just tell me what you are looking for. I pull parts all the time for my honda buddies (yes, I have a CRX Si). Maybe I can help ya out.

Anyway, hope to get some good knowledge on FC's and FD's.

Talk to ya'll soon

 

arnt the truck 5.7's and 6.0's iron blocks tho if there out of a truck?

 

thats what jess told me to look for so i did and i could have got the motor for 800 bucks change the intake and find a tranny and ecu then your good to go

as far as the block goes not sure ask them when you talk to them

 

your puting a ls engine in the fd

 

I think all LS1's were aluminum block and heads and all LT1's were cast iron block and aluminum heads. I'm sure Jesse can verify this as I'm not completely sure.

 

the truck motors are LQ4's direct replacements to the LS motors but were heavy duty versions.. such as iron blocks. and different intakes.. but thats all the changes.. there about 75 pounds more than a ls block..

 

i found a bunch of LS1's with 6 speeds for around 3000 dollars! prob is shipping will be like 500 to get it here..

 

you gotta pay to play man, i went and looked at my motor last night and talked with jesse for a while and im really excited about the swap this car will be a monster

so im going to start to gut the engine bay and start pulling parts off so if anyone is interested or needs any s5 parts they will be going up for sale for cheap
