The Car is not perfect, and needs paint! It's really been set up for track use, and is not the most comfortable DD. It has the rear diff solid mounted, as I didn't want to loose any energy through bushings when it had a 2.0. Now with the 2.4L it is definitly noticable, and I will be changing it in the next week or two. I will aslo update with new pics of the interior, and under hood shots later today.

Car Weighed 2580 with 13 gal of fuel.

 

I forgot to add, most of the pics here are progress pics.

 

sh*t man! Good luck with the sale, and the rx7!!!

How much for it with out the big ass turbo lol.It seems too big for the street.

 

[Gordian79]

why are you going to ruin an fd with an ls crap motor lol. Look at the potential of the 13B engine!Good luck with sale.

 

[Gimpin]

I would hardly say that the LSx motor is crap ... some people dont like dealing with "glass" motors .... 1 detonation you say bye bye apex seals (a bad batch of gas can do that)

 

[1badgvr4]

How about we take it to anything goes.

 

I don't know what I would sell it for without the t66. I guess it's all dependent on what you were looking to do? The 2.4L builds boost pretty quick, and with a 2500lb car you really don't even use boost to drive it around the streets. I wish it were a GT37 or something similar.

Id prob get it and sell the t66 and put on a 3065 or something.Think it will make a cross country trip?

 

I am going to be putting a new crank and bearings in it, probably in a couple weeks. After that, yes. The alt is on the back of the engine, so that should help just a little bit /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif.

Got the interior pieces.

 

Fd3s with ls1 is an monster on the street, mild tune ls1 can do 400-450 easily. believe me I got one in the garage, very fun car. Do you have more recent pics of the car? does the car have all the interior pieces? thanks
