LS6 swap gone wrong.
 

Worth a read.

http://www.clemsonscc.org/thread-10498.html

they are local to me. the guy who took up and fixed the car has done quite a few v8 swaps into rx7 and does superior job at it.

Wow!!! He got charged $14k... I bet he wished he would've stayed rotary than dealing with that BS.

Sucks!!! I would of had a heart attack instantly

i hate signing up for a site just to read one post.....

what happened that was so bad?

so.. are we suppose to feel sorry for him on a rx7/rotary forum? Granted, I dont care what people do to THEIR car.... Im just saying..

Maybe if it was a three rotor, our hearts would go out to him

I guess if you feel that way, you can find your way out of the OEC subforum....

You've more than miss the point.... but to each their own.:lol:

no, I got your point. You don't care what people do to THEIR car. It's just MORE than annoying to have to sift through the rotary purists posts when visiting this part of the forum. I felt the need to voice my opinion on the matter, such as you did yours.

what ever floats your boat homie.. no skin off my back for you to voice your own opinion.

Talk to me..
 

No, you missed the point. The guy got screwed over by a shop. You ever taken your car to a shop? Said shop wasn't a dedicated V8 swap shop either, they could have just as easily been screwing a rotary owner - like you, if you hadn't seen this thread.

NO. The light needs to stay shining on shops who screw people over.

wtf happened, that site wont let me register since my reCAPTCHA key apparently isn't authorized for the given domain...whatever the f*** that means

dude paid 14K for a shop whom i wont name. they where suposed to swap a LS6 5.7L V8(C5 Z06 motor) into a FD. sadly the shop did such a shitty job that is have to be redone. i believe Greg rebiult the car correctly now. but they refunded him $2000 because they didn't put in a LS6 they threw a LS1 in there instead. on severa things done to the car were quite simpley unsafe and should never be done to any car let alone a customers car.

^thanks

Keep it, I sez.

no..keep it..


anyway, holy crap!!! they just said something like..."hey, wth, we'll just pust some other motor in,...he won't mind". i hate to hear stuff like this. this is one reason i got into fab work in the first place, and most definately the reason i run business the way that i do...

does anyone have pics? or current pics of the car now? and really....what business did this? if they are open, i don't want me anyone i know going there without knowing how they work...

Yes because David the 3 rotor God didn't have to go through 3-4 shops to get his FD done(and how many years?). Give me a break with the ignorant posts. :icon_tdow

Bad shops are bad shops regardless of what car/engine combination was worked on.

i cant see it, can someone who has a log in please copy and paste

i'll link the thread from v8-7club
