why not? seams like a good idea to me, expecially when i have a lq4 sitting in my garage in sd. i thought about an old datsun, but this seams more appealing to me

ha, i am glad he is doing it, and wish i was closer so i could partake in it....... this swap will bring him many more smiles than a fucking fwd honda
I love how the haters can't see the point in swapping a proven, light, reliable, and huge potential engine like the LS motor into an awesome lightweight platform like any of the 7's
maybe you should go for a ride in parker's, and let the ass actually hang out....... and then still think it is pointless compared to any FWD 4 banger:rolleyes:
and i didn't do mine because of parker's, mine was due to riding in gary's GN
boost + rwd + v8 = the sex

^lots of truth
ha yeah i have a fealing it will bring many joyful moments, and possibly a few tickets.
actually i wish i was closer to the fm area to see what an actual swapped rx feels like, oh well, i guess that just gives me more incentive to complete mine faster. actually possibly i might be able to knock it out when im home in the fall for harvest. -
I have no problem with boost + v8 + rwd, I loved gary's car, I definately love fc's i've wanted one for years and have been contemplating actually getting one (if i wasnt so picky)... i just think any non-rotary in a fc is lame... that's the whole purpose of the car is the unique engine...

You have clearly never driven a honda with some "good" mods, i'm talking good suspension and an engine that can get the car moving. i bet a crx with a b16 will destroy a v8 swaped rx7 in the corners. and you have no proof to say it can't so shut it.

now i love the idea of a v8 swap in a rx7, it's just that 90% of the people that do a v8 swap ruin the cars "potential" in the process. if you want to bring in the rx7's great chassis then why not also bring in the epic failer it is to put a auto into a car meant to turn? you show me a car built for turns that is auto. really there is no argument there. plus most people who swap them put in an engine that is completely backwards for the car.

Really you should be the one to talk, go take a ride in Corey's hatch and we can see you hold on for the ride. i bet parkers car is fast, but it's not a rx7 anymore.
and i didn't do mine because of parker's, mine was due to riding in gary's GN
boost + rwd + v8 = the sex
but really Zac we all no slapping a turbo on a v8 and making big power is easy. but i would rather work on a Honda any day as it takes more to get the power out of them.

huh?? my car is not built for turns
the guys who do v8's and build to turn obviously use t56's....... and they own...
so you are honestly going to say that a civic with whatever hp versus a swapped rx7 with an equal suspension setup is going to rape the 7 on a road coarse??? are you kidding??
with the swap all you are doing is gaining, and sacrificing nothing
and how is the v8 ruining the turning ability at all on it?? a ton of 7's with v8's keep a 50/50 distribution
-
ok honestly please tell me that a civic as a platform vs. an rx7 as a platform is superior in any sort of way in any racing category compared to the 7.....
a s2k is a different story
edit, and i see an auto car with a tight converter having no problems whatsoever
