Any love for v8 powered rx7's on here
Here's mine:
Stance (picked up the RE30's on from an Evo owner):

Engine bay:

Track wheels:

350z rotors:

Definitely not as refined as the few Evos I've been in but it's still a lot of fun. Just curious, anyone know how much wheel you can put on an Evo X these days? I'm thinking I may have a widebody in my future so I may be shopping here in a bit.

Thanks fellas. Here's a little something from when I first got it on the road (per request)...

I had to run slightly larger front fenders so I could rock the Evo wheelsets. Car sits at right around 3k lbs (and that's with the roll bar and sound deadending).

so is that nascars rx7?
looks very nice but i do not love the v8 in the rx7 i love the rotary but hate its reliability.

I admittedly set out to build my version of what I wanted a car to be, however, I also wanted it to look like it could have been OEM somewhere and that ups the effort considerably....
It's a heads and cam ls6, technically from a 04 GTO, but I started with a true vette motor so I still rock the covers. All aluminum means I still have a 50-50 weight ratio. The car makes triple the hp it came with and gets better gas mileage than the rotary too. Not saying rotaries can't be rad, but this was what I wanted to do.
