Pictures of my LS1 T56 build (final product)
Don't do it! Sell the other cars.
Sorry to hear about the layoffs. Lots of that going around. Same thing happened at my employer coupled with salary cuts to those who stayed.

Every car I have is for sale...unfortunately I don't still own my other project cars. They are just what I completed.
At least I don't owe anything...but the cash could ride me through a down period, if it takes awhile to find a job. I am worried about that. I would be seriously pissed if this sold and I found a job shortly there after. But I can't predict the future. I built this car as if I was going to own it forever, but I never could have predicted the extent to which banking was going to collapse.

awsome build and attention to detail, im looking for another car but yours is out of my budget by a few grand right now. good luck on the job so you can keep t car, i was never intrested in the V8RX7 but that is sick.
Might be going for sale....
My bank announced yesterday they are merging the AZ and NV charter, and cutting expenses (nice way of saying layoffs)...since further down in the press release they said they will not be making loans, my position becomes pretty dispensible. At least I am underpaid so I will be one of the last to go, but that is just a matter of time at this point. And probably a lot less time than I am thinking. At any rate the clock is ticking.
I will place a for sale ad up in the proper section and over on the V8rx7 board and also on Autotrader. Price isn't finalized yet but I am thinking $19,500 is a pretty firm price but also a starting point.
Even if I do lose my job tomorrow I will not give this thing away. I own it outright with no lien. I drive it daily and it is one of the best setup sportscars for DD that I have ever driven. Just the right blend of everything.
If I find a new job in the meantime I am keeping it, but I have to start marketing at this point as much as it pains me.

Elliot you need to drive the finished car before I sell it (if I sell it). It was a nice car before with the rotary, but it is just a REALLY nice car now.

Thank you. It means a lot coming from you. It seriously does!
I went through two radiator/intake setups, two subframes and three versions of my midpipe before I settled on stuff that satified me from a fit/finish standpoint. Lots of pain and hassle, but worked out in the end I think. I did my best to keep the car a street car, and that is hard for me because I always want to make stuff into race/track cars.

Looks great...only thing is the fuel lines look really close to the exhaust pipe. I'm going through this issue with my s13 ls1 swap. May I suggest making a heat shield or wrapping the lines with heat resistance tape.

Optical illusion of the pictures. There is a few inches at least of space there. Thermo tec makes a lot of good heat products for thermal shielding. There are various places to get them.
