Nice RX7...what'd ya do for drive shaft 'n rear end?

And..."Welcome to SG".

[thedrifter]

as for the drive shaft i am using a corvette driveshaft right out of a c4, as for the rear end i upgraded it to the mazda turbo rear end. i did have a 10bolt back there and i broke it in the first day. it wasn't to hard to do it but man what a waste of time and money putting that 10 bolt back there. but the rear end i have on there now can handle 400 hp and 400 tq. i am at 331hp and 361 tq so i am happy right there. now if i do the heads that i want to do then i am going to be in trouble..lol and thanks for the welcome!

[loop2kil]

[thedrifter]

Nice car, I like them, but so many people seem to have modded the hell out of them I've lost personal interest in owning one.

YES mmm, I bought from IAAI insurance aution. Sometime I see those go for cheap either wrecked or theft recovered with no motor.

Would be great to find a mint body with no motor for around $3-$4k then try to find a cheap LS1 motor from a million different cars than cam the bitch.

[thedrifter]

lol thats what we do we find them with no motor or tranny and we put the lt1 or ls1 in it and call it a day. :)

[Goliard]

Was looking at pics of your RX and noticed a crucial component missing you should take care of right away,

I'm not behind the wheel...

[triniwasp]

What a beast, that's bad ass. How did you get the vette motor to fit, custom mounts?
