new to the forums w/ a 87 rx7 swapped

i was on here a few months ago when i first got the car and never really got any time to introduce the car so figured i would that now.
its a 87 with 55k original miles, motor is a LT1 out of a 1996 camaro z-28 with 65k miles, fresh rebuilt corvette tranny with shift kit, full 3" exhaust straight pipes, and intake. has a turbo rear end, lowered on tokiko springs, and 18" enkei's. other than that car is pretty much stock, with many other mods soon to come. when i bought the car it ran a 13.2 on a tranny that was slipping very bad from
2nd to 3rd.

thanks and yeah i figured i would be getting crap about the swap and the motor but it is a very good swap and im soon building up the rear end some more and then chipping it which will put me in the low 12s atleast and i still average close to 25 mpg commuting with the car

haha yeah the rims were already on the car when i bought it but im switching to smaller rims so i can fit some wider tires in the back so i can actually hook up when i launch. and people can say what they want about the motor ha but its funny to see the faces of people i beat in a race. hahaha

I disagree, If he'd clean up the bay and do some wire tucking and clean up the hoses...it'd look *******.
