New member here - LS6 RX-7(FD3S) Hello, everyone. I traded my 05 STi two weeks ago for this car:

HPTuners Pro engine management
Drivetrain:
T-56 6-Speed transmission
Spec stage 3+ Clutch
Spec billet flywheel
US Brake clutch master cylinder
Stainless Steel Braided Clutch Line
Heat Wrapped Clutch Line
SGI-5 Speedometer Correction
New LS6 slave cylinder
Steeda Tri-Ax Handle
03 Cobra shift ****
New GM Transmission Mount

Pics. Click on them for larger versions.
I have plans to add PS, finish AC, get a proper dyno tune, do suspension, interior, and exterior mods. Oh, and also I'm going to make the exhaust quieter... it's so effing loud that I can't stand it :runaway: Once I add some resonators and change the muffler, I'm sure I'll also have to track down squeaks and rattles that I can't notice right now. The car is running beautifully it's a lot of fun. It's funny that every time I park somewhere, I have people come up and ask me what I have under the hood. BTW, it's my first time owning a V8. I really love not having to wait for the power to come on... haha.
My plan for this car is to build a daily driver/weekend track warrior. I feel that the engine has more than enough power, and will focus mainly on other stuff. Well, since the engine is built, I might add 150 shot later just for drags.

Thanks for the welcome, guys. It is a beast indeed. I really need to tame it down pretty badly 
I just changed the exhaust to a quieter one and added cats since I'll eventually have to pass emissions. Next up is either milder cam + tuning or PS install... whichever I decide to do first. And then finish up AC lines... then I can have real fun tuning the suspension and adding N2O

(no more testing for pre-'95 cars here in IL, you should move here...that car would be exempt).

Thanks, guys. 
As for the emissions, I'm going back to Korea around August and I'm planning to take my car back with me. There are no emissions here in Franklin county, Ohio at all
No track times yet. I guess I'll make few passes for fun when spring comes, although most type of the racing this car will see is on the road course :p

Thanks, guys. Yeah, it came from VA. I love driving it but then it's a bit too much for a daily driver as it is right now. After giving it some thought, I'm thinking about just selling it and getting a car that is better suited for daily driving. If it doesn't sell for the price I want, I'm taming it down to my likings. We'll see what happens. LSX and FD are cerntainly a great combo, though.
