LS1 Z Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I've read quite abit over the years how some of the other Datsun sites are purist. MAS280 did a post of LSX-RX-7 vids over at RX7CLUB. Those guys are too much!! I like MAS280 calling them out on page 3! Enjoy the read!! http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=637267 JOEY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

383 240z Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I always thought z purists were a pain, until I pulled the rotory out of my 7 for a v-8. I was dmn near thrown out of the local club!!! Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globerunner513 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 ^^that sucks... though i gotta admit, the rotary is so unique to the RX-7 that anything else just doesn't seem special enough...but then again power is power...so its all good:icon14: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.INSANE Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 honestly it doesnt seem that bad atleast half of the posts are pretty positive its not like the entire site is hating the swap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin_Jason Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 purist is a nice name for elitest. If yours is not the same as mine..it sucks! As a reward for having to deal with these types of people they also usually have another trait. They are extremely sore losers. They often cry and put on a funny show after you beat them at anything. Tantrums are my favorite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest l28et Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Well I don't see the big deal. So what if some people don't like LSx swaps in FDs. Some people over there might have been attracted to the 7 because of its engine in the first place. They're entitled to an opinion just as well as anyone else. Heres mine: I think the 13B is a piece of junk. Torqueless, cooling issues, reliability issues, and sounds like a lawn mower on crack. Its an inefficient design. I don't usually care for SBC swaps, but I would love an LS powered FD. So let them be pissy and bitch and moan. Its their forum, and they can rock whatever they want under the hoods of their cars. Opinions are like arseholes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsunlover Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Yup.. I've got LOTs of flack over the years for the two RX7's I've jamed V8's into.. "Oh.. that's aweful man, why would you do that?!?" well, it's a fun ride and it SMOKES your stock RX7! But probly MORE people who were into it.. "Holy crap man... thats cool!!" or "Wow... how do you hang on to that thing?!?":icon14: I am attracted to the RX7 for the looks; it's a nice looking sports car, with a decent suspension. ect. Now... I think the rotary engine is a really cool ..thing.. interesting at the very least.. but in stock form, NOT a great power house, or very reliable.. So, why would I want a SPORTS car with that in it?!? hell.. if I wanted 'strange quirks' I'd buy a British sports car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
