Two LS Swapped Mazdas :) (RX8 GT1 Build) Hey Everyone! I thought it was time I'd post up some info about my two LsX swaps.
My very first swap I built 5 years ago was my FC RX7. It started out as a Turbo II RX7. It originally had a 525hp LS1, but now has a 680hp 429 Stroker LS3.
Here are a few pics and a video of it at the strip.

Mazda #2!
After lapping my FC LS3 street car around the Edmonton Indy track, I have decided it is time to build a full out GT1 Race Car.
The car of choice is a 2004 Mazda RX8.
The engine will be a custom MMZ LS1 5.7L Pushing around 550-600 hp.
Here are some sneak peaks of the car:
Removing the complete driveline:

New Front Bumper Test Fit:

Finally some more updates.
I will have engine pics up soon.
I finished majority of the front end fab, so I decided to start with my 8.8 IRS swap.
Here are a bunch of pics so far.
Started to strip down all the rear suspension.
T bird 8.8 painted and ready for mock up.

I will still have it meet minimum weight in that class which should make it fair to race.
I am pretty excited!
