[Viking445]

Wait........aren't those cars supposed to sound like Chain Saws on crack? I'm so confused!!!!

Great Build man!! I love the Frankenstein swaps people are doing these days! Pisses off the fanboy purest crowd.

[AndyAngelZ]

GOOD JOB UR GONNA PISS THE FUCK OUTA UR NEIGHBORS

[K20AReg]

@AndyAngelZ - It has a full exhaust on it with two resonators now, unlike in the video where it was open headers. My neighbors have no problems with it

[10072018]

@K20AReg Ha! I'd be happy to be your neighbor with a car like that!

[1987rasul]

Hey was the wiring hard to do could I do it my self and dose the power steering work ? I want to do the same swap

[K20AReg]

@1987rasul - The wiring was not too bad. I'm not electrician but with some manuals and research I managed to figure it all out. and yes the power steering system works just great. That was simple to do

[pimpjuice8921573]

Lol! Stalled xD

[K20AReg]

@pimpjuice8921573 - haha yup, the plugs were fouled, I had to replace them and it ran a lot better

[pinkpanthercow]

nice mazda,with a gay piston engine,fuck that rotor all the way.

[K20AReg]

@pinkpanthercow - You Rotards have such a big pole stuck up your butt... I Like imports, I respect the rotary but I chose to do this and I love my v8. so get over it

[pinkpanthercow]

@K20AReg you should burn that fucker down,it fail,so stick this big pole up your gay mother fucking ass.

[CASSINOx]

well those neighbors get NO sleep, Lol

[charliemac94]

oh thanks and do u recommend doing this swap if i want to make this my first car or should i buy a regular car some were else

[K20AReg]

@charliemac94 - you should buy a daily driver car as well... when doing these kind of frankenstein swaps there is always a lot of little issues that pop up that need fixing even after you get it running. It's good to have another car so that you don't end up needing to go somewhere and have a car that doesn't work at the moment.

it also depends on where you live, here in Canada I get 6 months of snow a year... that is a no no for driving an LS powered RX7 haha, so I have a second car

[Darknights7]

@K20AReg CANADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAA



[charliemac94]

ok what is with the ls1 an the lsx what is the difference

[K20AReg]

@charliemac94 - "lsx" is just a general reference to the "ls" series of motors that GM produced. Since there are ls1's ls2's ls3's ls6's and ls7's. a lot of people just say its an "lsx" swap, meaning one of those

[charliemac94]

I'm doing the same build how much did it cost and what mounts did u get

[K20AReg]

@charliemac94 - I have the Hinson mounts, and as for cost haha i dunno.. haha too much. you could do a basic swap for 10-15 grand. but i am way beyond that now

[alexhc09]

how much did that cost you if you don't mind me asking?

[K20AReg]

@alexhc09 - toooo much haha

[alexhc09]

@K20AReg lol. My friend is trying to sell his Rx7 to me and he wanted to do pretty much what you did to his. I think I'll just save my money though. I love your car though. Great vids

[parrish001]

That's not an RX-7 anymore...

[bbsombs]

how much dos that car weigh with the v8 motor and trans??

[K20AReg]

@bbsombs thw car weighs in at 2800 lbs

[K20AReg]

@bbsombs it weighs in at 2800lbs, full interior

[firechicken76]

@K20AReg is that with the front pieces missing?

[K20AReg]

@firechicken76 - -just the front bumper is missing

[unitedwetrance]

fuel efficient eh?.

[K20AReg]

@unitedwetrance way more fuel efficient than the rotary that was in there

[shamp00p]

@unitedwetrance

actually yea, maybe not with that huge cam, but stockish lsx rx7's get 28ish mpg on the highway. Just like corvettes. Despite their size, rotaries get terrible mileage. Closer to 20 N/A, and less than that for a turbo.

[Rotaryisgarbage]

Nice, much better now without the junk rotary.

[Rotaryisgarbage]

Wow, very nice better than the rotary POS. You made the car great.

[JDMmz309]

@Rotaryisgarbage your a fag rotary ftw

[foxracing3750]

is this in beaumont??

[K20AReg]

@foxracing3750 it certainly is!

[foxracing3750]

@K20AReg i knew it! lol i gotta buddy that lives there, im from calmar..i was like, i think i recognize that street, and then i saw the stop sign cause it has the stop and arre't...cool! lol

[TheLudeH22A]

I know this is old...but the MS3 cam is fkn nasty sick yo! I like imports and all but im sorry, the LS1 is a masterpiece!!!

[Aheid84]

What cam did you have in it and what headers where you using? I am working on the same build. This car is awesome man... Great work!!

[K20AReg]

the cam is Magic Stick 3 and the headers are JTR 1 7/8 primaries to a 3" collector, long tubes ceramic coated

[angrypelican71]

love it

[K20AReg]

Thanks! :)

[blacksupersport]

steak & rice don't mix!

[K20AReg]

[mousehunter311]
