dude your car looks exactly like mine

that ls1 swap looks very good. impressed.

if my 13b ever goes, i'll definitely be leaning there. the rx8s transmission is really weak too. so a ls1+t56 would be awesome.

VERY CLEAN! Can't wait to see how it turns out!
My car Is Kinda not really similar to yours.

Where's the rotary???

The 13B is a great turbo-charged motor. In fact, he had a big turbo on there and it ran well, until an apex seal blew and killed just the engine and turbo. Decided to go with the trusty LS1 instead of building another rotary.

Where's the rotary???:tsk:

In the bin.

Where it belongs.

Just got a couple of pictures from my buddy of his LS1/FC swap.

He's in the middle of prepping it for a re-spray, so the body doesn't look great right now.


In person, it look like a factory install. This picture doesn't do the swap justice.

So the MAF is being held up by Zip Ties? I guess that's better than it dangling on it's on weight stretching the intake boot out moar...

Btw, I love the gauges/radio positions. It's like you don't even have a radio! haha

Yeah, the M30 AFM is being help up with Zip-Ties until I can get a bracket made for it.

I wasn't sure how'd I'd like the look of the radio in the glove box and the gauges in it's place, but I think it turned out looking really clean. Thanks for the comments.

car reminds me of my car ......just not as kleen lol great buy.

Still have to give her a good coat of wax, but she's in pretty good shape.

dude, just checking back and i love the mods, especially the radio to gauge cluster swap. i could have used a oil px gauge right before my car leaked dry...

What's going on Ken? You're in Little Rock now right? How's training? Do you have yours running again? Didn't get a chance to see the progress you'd made before you headed out. I'm down in Corpus now, so we may be flying together sometime in the future. Take care man.

^ agreed. i like the gauge mod. looks nice and clean.

really nice fc btw. when i wanted a beater second car i was between an fc turbo II or an e30. i figured i already had one torqueless wonder so i got an e30.

pics of the ls1 swap?

I really miss my FC, it was a blast to drive. And with simple mods I was running the 13s all day (high 13s mind you). I'll see about getting some pictures of the LS1 swap. Turned out looking like something Mazda had done from the factory, it looks real clean.
