So your saying that 400 hp/400trq is not an amazing. And don't forget that your 50/50 weight distrubution is better with the LS1. Don't forget about how much you can beat the **** out of the motor. I can go on an on with this.

Good luck with the sale.

No offense

You obviously didn't think about the fact that I took a junker headed for the scrapyard and rebuilt it into something quicker, faster and more reliable than any stock FD on the road. I didn't "chop up" a thing, I rebuilt a stripped shell. Your statement shows you obviously have no valuable input to make into my thread, so please refrain from posting in it again.

This was the car when I got it (after i replaced the missing hood, door and fender):



This is the car after I've spent over $25k on it:




Personally, I prefer the "chopped up" version better

You obviously don’t understand the rotary engine or have any respect for it that is why you went LS1...but who knows maybe I am an *** hole for thinking this way..
wow..i'm not even going to say anything...

good luck on the sell!

you mind me asking why you're selling?

No, you're an ******* for ******* up my thread. If I didn't buy the car, it was going to be scrapped. It HAD NO ROTARY IN IT, genius. What part of that didn't you understand? If you aren't interested in buying it, move on. That's pretty simple to understand.

I work two jobs, one of which I'm trying to turn into a full-time business. I literally have zero spare time to finish the car, and it's so close to being finished it pisses me off to see it sitting in the garage and not being used. I bought it to build as a daily driver, and I finally got irritated enough with my schedule to buy a Corvette, and it fills daily driver duties pretty nicely right now.

I'll most likely build another one some day as a race car, but right now I need to concentrate on finances, because planning for the future is a lot more important. The proceeds from the sale will allow me to concentrate on my business so I can leave the job I don't plan on keeping a month or two sooner than I planned.

Ok. $16k with no motor or transmission. I only accept cash. Your rotary certainly wil be unique, because there aren't many in RX7's

sounds like a plan, man. it is true, better plan for the future, rather than be playing around. "work hard to play hard" - it is good you are prioritizing as many people do not do that, they just want to be seen in a "tight *** ride" and stuck in medeocre, $10/hour jobs.

i'm on the same boat as you about selling, but you are set and i'm still debating whether to sell it or not. this would increase the budget i have set for myself to get my business going.

priorities > fun. nice car and good luck!

Good luck with the sale. Its awsome that you saved that car from the crusher.
I let a few friends drive my LS1 RX7 tonight and they were all very impressed.
Its a great motor and a great chassis.

Don't sell it!!!!!!!!!!! Or I'll tell it how you cheated on it with a 3-rotor last weekend. It might run itself into a tree. :P
