CANADA: 1993 FD3S - Complete Build LS3 Swap

[keycam]

Hi everyone,

I'm fairly new to the zilvia forum, however I have been a member on the rx7club forum for nearly 10 years, about how long I have owned this car. Forum id over there is "keister"

The decision to post here of course is for as much exposure as possible since I've come to the realization that I want to sell my car in the pursuit of a new project

Some of the specs include:

Brand New LS3 from Jeggs - LS 376/480 (376ci/480hp) hot cam option
Tremec T56 Magnum w/ 2.66 gears
Brand new OEM spirit R - Recaro seats with tilt and slide brackets
Black Edition TE37SL
Vertex front bumper
Sanai Raider Fenders, side skirts, rear spats
Re-amemiya diffuser
Samberg full swap kit - subframe, trans mount, diff mount.
Samberg V-mount radiator kit w/ carbon fibre CAI
Fully functioning cold AC
2 owner car from new

If the above interests you I have a 4 page PDF document that includes every detail of the build. Send a PM with your email and I can send that over.

The odometer currently reads just over 200,000km. However I would gather that only a handful of parts left have actually seen that mileage. The LS3 has around 7000km on it and will go up as I drive it on weekends.

The build is quite extensive and complete in every respect. I truly believe it is one of the best, if not THE best LS swapped car on the market right now.

That being said I understand the exterior mods and appearance have to be to your taste to justify my price.
I am in no rush to sell, The only trade I would consider is a 2013MY or newer R35 with cash on my end of course

Car is located in Kelowna BC Canada.

$38,000USD
$49,000CAD


Thanks for looking,

Josh

I found these ones in Thailand of all places.

Not only is this the cleanest LS swaps on the market, but one of the best I've ever seen. I sincerely hope you get your asking price as this car absolutely justifies it. Good luck with your sale.

[2muchboost]

Absolutely gorgeous! Not anywhere near my price range so I won't pretend. But if you don't mind could you share your experience with the Magnum with close gear ratio for street driving? I know for the track that is the way to go but how does it feel around the city?

Good luck with sale. If I win the lotto tonight I will be calling tomorrow lol.

Thanks guys!
@2muchboost aside from the spirit R seats the Magnum is my favorite upgrade to the car. The shift forks are a huge improvement over a standard T56.
Initially when I was shopping I was looking at the 2.97 gearset myself, I was aiming for it to cover long hwy roadtrips so wanted taller gears for lower cruising rpm. When I tried to order from a member on norotors that had sold upwards of 60+ magnums for LS swaps he basically refused to sell the 2.97 to me haha. Of all the units he had sold not a single one was a 2.97 for the reason that the taller 1-4 ratios keep the LS out of its powerband. The slight difference in 6th (0.5 vs 0.63) has made little difference for hwy mpg. Around town the lower ratios are a great. very punchy with the torque of the motor. It is certainly easier to use once it warms up haha. Hopefully that answer is not too long winded.

No it was perfect and thank you. I sold my LS1 Zenki a while ago and one of the main reasons was the T56 felt like I was driving a damn tractor and it was rebuilt with a few upgrades to smooth out the driving characteristics and still sucked lol. Unfortunately having terrible knees added to the headache and made it unpleasant to drive at all. I am currently stocking up parts for a long term build and was debating between the two ratios but I think your feedback along with a few LS1Tech folks has made my decision. Due to our light chassis and power to weight ratio I wouldnt be too concerned with the difference in 6th gear and long distance drives.

Once again beautiful setup, if I win the lotto I am calling you, and thank you for the info.

[keycam]

cheers,

if you have any other questions let me know

God damn lucky son of a spoiled bitch!!!!!! Hahaha!

It is worthy information for any would be US buyers that this car will be very difficult to import until early next year.

The build date is 02/1992 Therefore will be DOT and EPA exempt February 2017.
