Not an E30, but maybe you will still like this.

I never posted pics of my RX7 but I'm bored tonight and feel like showing it off a little. Currently its awaiting a bearing replacement and new waterpump so its been off the road for a bit but its still fun to look at none the less.

1985 RX7 GSL-SE
VH45DE swap from Infiniti Q45
300ZX n/a 5-speed transmission
Ford Taurus steering rack and custom crossmember/steering linkage

Not much else to say really, she sounds nasty and is pretty damn quick for what it is. Too bad she's broke right now or I'd get some pics and vids with the E30.










Future plans include supercharger, rear end rebuild, and paint and body work to finish it up.

damn, I want me one of those, how does the vh45de pull? I've seen 302 and 350 swaps, never this.

your hood is broken.


love FC's, love them to death. one of my favorite older cars. i approve of what you have going on here.

Its pretty quick man, weighs in right around 2400 with me in it and those are rated at 278/285? Most guys are making more WHP than that with the same mods I have, so closer to 300/300 at the wheels. Its faster than my friends E46 SMG M3 with bolt-ons. Never raced it against anything else to gauge it. But definitely a scary ride with those small tires. When you apply throttle the tail will kick out at just about any speed.

That Chevrolet belongs to a friend and as soon as I get ahold of him I will get more pics. He has that and a '32, both of which are pretty badass cars now.

Thanks for the comments guys, I have this really shit vid I got while I was in texas but its the only one I have right now.

I was in 5th gear we were going probably 65-ish and he floored it (350 Chevrolet pickup) and you can hear when I give it about 3/4 throttle in 5th gear (then you don't hear shit till the end).



I will get some pics of it sitting in the parking lot at work (broken) this weekend, lol.

I've ridden in it! It's quite docile cruising around, then you go full throttle and all hell breaks loose.

[ubernasty]

this is awesome man!
