[GTSLOW]

That radiator is freaking awesome!

[BAD LS1]

Yeah im really impressed with how bad ass that rad/intake is! It almost looks OEM, my favorite!

[07ROUSHSTG3]

That radiator is freaking awesome!

looks like something nasa would build :wooo!

[Exitspeed]

So bad ass. I'm pretty sick of seeing the car in your avatar unfinished. Probably not as sick of it as you are though. :P

[That_Guy]

[Cryptic]

I still like my rotary... I just think I'll like a 7.0L RX7 more.

[TheRX7Project]

Yeah I hear ya. I thought about it, but decided if I wanted a Camaro I would've bought one. The rotary is what makes it unique... I'd say at this point there's almost as many LS1 RX7's are there are rotary-powered ones.

[WhatsADSM]

Yeah I hear ya. I thought about it, but decided if I wanted a fast car I would've bought one. The rotary is what makes it slow and unreliable... I'd say at this point there's almost as many LS1 RX7's are there are rotary-powered ones for good reason.

Fixed it for ya! :thumbsup

(Sorry I had to... You know I'll be there to help you out once you decide to put a better motor in there :) )

[OxmanWI]

Sooo what does the car look like right now? Same in your gallery?

[TheRX7Project]

Fixed it for ya! :thumbsup

(Sorry I had to... You know I'll be there to help you out once you decide to put a better more in there :) )

i guess that's a way to put it.....

[TheRX7Project]

You would want more than I can afford. I'm looking for a 6-port anyway, and S4 6-ports are dirt cheap.

[jbiscuit]

Like J, I too have a basement with parts everywhere.

I'll have to take a pic. Its insane. I'll have to the new mill-in-progress in the shot too. Its not allowed on the carpet normally :rolf

[juicedimpss]

andy,you are a baller.

[Bobby "Big Daddy" Flay]

holy crap thats cheap... :wow

I've told you to do this also.

[Cryptic]

The guy offered $1700 shipped to a dock. I'm not going to pass this up. There's only 800 miles on the clutch and flywheel.

So now the tranny / clutch / flywheel is out of the way.... sweet lemonade

[Moparjim]

Awesome project!

I refuse to cooperate with the recession as well...

This winter so far, despite the fact that I am technically flat broke:

New stainless appliances: $3000
OTE final installment for my Challenger work: $5000

[Cryptic]

Yeah I just dumped around $3000 into my utility/laundry room. I saved it from the 60's.
New washer/dryer, tore out all the floor and wall tile, removed drop ceiling, new light fixture, new drywall/paint. Newly poured concrete floor since removing tile destroyed underlying floor. I still have to put in a deep sink and cabinets.

[TheRX7Project]

[Silver86]

What's wrong with it?

low compression and stuck side seal on the rear rotor. was debating on pulling it out sometime this summer and rebuilding it... but im still not sure what i want to do with the car :shades

[Cryptic]

I picked up an F-Body Road Race Baffle (http://www.improvedracing.com/product_info.php?products_id=30&osCsid=85aadbc17e92bcce4d3e5465e0fdafd0) (New Version) by Improved Racing (http://improvedracing.com/)

$200 bucks for a little extra piece of mind.

[GTSLOW]

Now that's fucking awesome!

I wonder if that other dude on here is running one?
