Default V8 RX7 guy from WI

hi, my name is Jordan and I'm an...oh wait, wrong place...

I'm from Manitowoc, WI(about 30 minutes southeast of Green Bay/an hour and a half north of Milwaukee). My car, well the fun one anyhow, is an '87 RX7 Sport(think stripped down bare bones factory lightweight) that currently has a troublesome LT1 and T5 in it that are fairly soon going to be yanked in favor of an LS1 and T56, along with Turbo model brakes and differential; basic but fun. My other toy is an '08 SV650SF with minor upgrades, Racetech springs and cartridge emulators, fender eliminator, Pirelli Angel ST tires, and Scorpion high-mount exhaust

My day job is making car wax.

Welcome! I've seen some LS1 RX7s on the net. They are bad ***! Be a nice project.
