Price: $29,000 obo.

Please e-mail me with any questions at [email protected] as my PM box is pretty full from my brother using my username to buy and sell stuff.

$300 to whoever finds me a buyer.

I'm selling this car because my family's financial situation got pretty bad and I'm trying to help out. I'm really sad to let this car go but oh well...

If you want to know more about LSx swaps into RX-7s, visit www.v8rx7forum.com It basically gives power and reliability(which rotary doesn't have) to RX-7s while maintaining 50:50 weight distribution. The weight difference between 13B and LS1/2/6 is only about 20~30lbs.

Overall, it is very nicely built, and there really is nothing wrong with the car mechanically. Factory gauges all work like they should. It has power steering and AC is all hooked up except the lines. Any AC shop can fabricate the lines. So just have them do that and charge the system, and AC will work. It will probably cost you around $200. I also just bought a AC pressure switch adapter as well.

This car started off as a 1993 touring model that was originally Montego Blue, but has had a full color change by a professional bodyshop to 2004 Corvette Medium Spiral Grey Metallic.

Extras:

Black door panels in great condition
Aluminum exterior door handle(factory plastic ones tend to break a lot and the passenger side seems like it's about to go. They are powder coated to match factory finish.)
HP+ front pads

Extra parts included if asking price is met:

Super Pro urathane bushing kit (worth $560 or so. It's really a nice kit and I recommend you change the bushings on the car as it really makes the suspension feel like new.)
Eibach prokit and Tokico adjustable shocks (They are worth about $800 if bought new. I picked it up used and they have about 15k miles on them. Perfect setup for dual purpose: daily driver/weekend track)


The car is built to rev to 7500+ rpm and the bottom end is proven to hold up to 800 or so hp. My plan was to run a 150hp wet shot of nitrous on the car eventually which would put the car around 600 rwhp. The car has over $27,000 invested into the swap and the paint not including labor.

The car has 165k on the chasis, and only about 2000 miles on the built motor. Most of the suspension parts have around 30k miles on them.

The paint job was just recently done and it does not have any imperfections at all besides few rock chips from highway driving. I think I counted about 4~5 rock chips last time I waxed the car.

Now with imperfections... all interior cosmetics except one. There is a dime sized chip on the black center peice that goes between the tail lights. There is no lid on the driver's side door compartment, and passenger side door panel is kinda messed up but used door panels in great condition are included as mentioned above. The fuel line could use some heat wrapping, as it is kinda close to the header. The interior was tan and painted black, and there are some scratches that shows the tan color. It can simply be touched up by using any plastic paint. That's about it I think... as I fixed most of the imperfections.

The car is now properly dyno tuned by Brian @ Dyno Tune Motorsports. It made 395rwhp through two 3" cats. This car definitely has more in it, and I think the cats I have are just too restrictive. I think I'll try dynoing w/o cats and see what I get. Otherwise, the tune is great. The drivability down low is great and you can cruise at 1500rpm in 6th gear no problem. The car is a lot more enjoyable now since it's a lot easier to drive.

There is a local guy that owns LS1 FD himself and was one of the first to do the swap. Hinson Supercars took the subframe design from him and mass produced it. He checked over the car for me and his shop did the cam swap and power steering install on the car. He said the car seems to be nicely built and couldn't see anything wrong with it other than the fuel line that I have mentioned above.

Pics taken by previous owner. Click on them for larger versions. The car has stock seatbelts as I asked for the harness to be removed and stock seatbelts to be put back in when I bought this car.

video added. I'll upload the pics to photobucket and post a link to an album tonight. Also corrected a typo from copying and pasting parts of the ad from the previous owner. The engine has 2000 miles on it, not 900. Sorry about the mistake.

dont bump it too much the mods will close the thread...

thats a great motor setup, even my all-stock '98 LS1 drops jaws at carshows and autox events... the guys at my work today were bug eyed seeing it for the first time this spring... no shortage of people amazed at how well the LS1T56 fits into RX7s.

glws deeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwd!

Thanks a lot :)

Door panels have just arrived, so I'll be putting them in along with the passenger side interior door grip.

I'm also planning to get the AC working in a couple of weeks.
