um i'll take it for 5k lol jk nice ride man that thing is sick

 

dam nice car... why didn't you stay w/ the 13b....
Gotta love the fire from rotary engines... it just randomly spits fire... that's FRIGIN SICK! lol
...

 

just out of curiosity... how reliable is your car... i've always wanted to do something like that?

and what's the build cost of something like that minus the actual car cost?

cheers!

 

It would be nice if the Evo has a V8! Than I would twin turbo it!

 

gorgeous car man! where in NJ are you?

 

nice

 

or is there a website that sells basically everything ya need?

From what I've heard from people that have them -- it can be done for under $20k including the car. Not bad considering the performance and coolness factor.

 

its very reliable. i've taken it on the road course a few times, autocrossed about 10 twices (many with a co-driver), and drag raced it many times. and put about 4000 street miles on it. no issues.
well last time i drag raced with slicks, i broke the tranny mount. i had it re-welded with add'l gussets to make it stronger so won't happen again.

actual car cost varies so much depending on what you want to do.
stock ls1 motor and tranny with ECU can be around $5000.
or if you want modified motor about $10,000 depending on if you want to stroke it, cam, headers, intake, etc.
the rear costs a little bit to make it so strong. 300m axles are like 800. kaaz diff is about 1000. 3.90 gears are hard to find, and cost about 200 but most just use the stock 4.10's.
the conversion parts are like $3000 if you get hinson radiator and alum driveshaft. you can use stock exhaust manifolds or pay like 800 for headers, 400 for y pipe, i think cold air intake is like 300.
tuning software is like 500.
paint? 4000 and up.
coilovers? wheels? you know how much those are.
seats? radio? depends on the builder.

these aren't cheap but for the money can beat on cars costing many times more than the total build cost. and they look pretty damn hot and are kinda rare nowadays.

scott yo - i'm in central NJ, near bridgewater. we autocross at giants stadium often so meet there and i can give you a ride. www.motorsportsne.com

 

Ive been looking for a nice ls1 rx7 for a while now. Let me know if youre serious about selling it. I may be selling my evo for one fairly soon. Nice car by the way!

 

I have been looking for one to look at recently. Give me your phone number and I will get my dad to come down and check it out. What are you looking for and would you be interested in any trades?

We live in Warren so we are 15 min apart max, def want to come see it.

man, it's scary thinking about how much more power is available in that package too! If i wasn't thinking about grad school, i'd be very tempted. great color choice too btw

 

A guy in my car club (the orange 2'nd gen in my avatar) had a gt35r turboed 13b. he blew it this summer and is doing an LS1 swap now. Its failry easy, as far as fitting the motor and tranny goes. There is a lot of little stuff that has to be done. Brackets/mounts are made for the swap. He bought a 2002 ls1 out of a firebird but the company sent him a 98 (hes working on this issue now). Hes doing it because its reliable power. He plans to supercharge it.

That 3'rd gen is sexy for sure.
