Thanks. I have a lot of time in this one. I took everything I liked from the other cars here and this is what I came up with.

Next time its up in the air

Wheels are CCW Classics 17x11 w/4.25 back spacing 315-35-17 tires fronts are 17x8 0 offset 225-45-17.

more pics

Some progress pics. Took it out yesterday in 95 degree heat and had the ac blowing the whole time ran great . About 50 miles of city driving.

Get the access door on Applied Racing Technology web site part number 015070 its 49.95

I'm In Belle Chasse just outside New Orleans. Waiting for my chassis guy to get back in town for the info on fuel door.

I see we have very similar taste. Love my lift . Probably the best money I've spent in a long time.

A/C is JCI set up. He has lines premade if you have 77-78 with factory A/C.

If you have pics of both would love to see them.

Looks like yours has no problem transfering weight lol. I would love to see what you did for exhaust. I am thinking side exit right now.

Your car looks good. It was one of the pics that inspired me to go the route I have. When I say big tire track car I'm thinking those cars with 33inch slicks.

Wasn't going for the sleeper look but more of performance street car . There is no hiding there is something going on here lol. I was trying to stay away from the big tire track car look. It is flared but with subtle z rear quarters so it still looks stock or sort of stock.

Learning from my past builds I know one thing is for sure. If it can be broken I am the guy to break it. That being said this is my second Ls powered Z and Im trying to make it as bullet proof as possible. I wanted to keep it looking like a street car and not a full blown back halved race car. Wheels are CCW 17x11 with Mickey Thompson 315-35-17 DR. Narrowed 9inch with Moser wavetrac and Strange 35 spline axles and of course some nice aerospace disc brakes. I have plenty of room for more tire should I choose to down the road.

No never been on a scale. I know this is a serious weight reduction over the stock battery. My swap has a/c so i have a little more weight out front with the compressor.

Just thought I would share What I ended up with for a battery. Odyssey pc680 weighs about 12-13 lbs and fits nicely behind the seat. Its a nice option to a full size battery relocated to the rear of the car.

Ls3 FD RX7 will be starting over from scratch.

Car is sold. I had no idea it would draw the attention that it did. I had over 200 messages on ebay in 2 days. I told everyone what I was looking to get for it and only one person stepped up. Of course after it sold I has several contacts that say they would have payed more but I think thats always the case. There is definitly a market for these cars and the will soon be in the same price range that LS swapped FD RX7s get.

Love the valve covers or should I say coil covers.

I think it should go in the 12-15k range. any less and I will keep it.

Yeah got my eye on something else so gonna give ebay a shot. If it sells I will move on, if it doesn't I will keep on driving it.

Paint is from 2007 subaru sti. Urban grey metallic is the name.

Yeah I will be under the car ths week for the exhaust so I will get some pics.
