LS1 RX7 question! Please help! Chassis:
78k RX-7 touring chassis
Hinson subframe/torque arm/reinforced trans mount and chassis mount locations
Modified Hinson fuel system with FPR in the front
Custom modified US Brake clutch master cylinder with longer throw rod
Pyro’s jointed stainless clutch line
JDM ’99 spec tail lights
R1 front lip
Suspension/Brakes:
Racing beat front sway bar with relocation kit
Stock rear sway bar
Tokico Illumina adjustable struts
Peter Farrel springs
Cusco rear strut tower bar
Hinson bumpsteer kit
Very rare Stern wheels – 17x7.5 front 17x9 rear
Hawk HP+ front pads, HPS rear pads
Slotted rotors
ATE SuperBlue fluid
Stainless steel brake lines
Engine:
1999 LS1 – 35k miles
LS6 intake manifold and coolant crossover pipes
Hinson cold air intake
JTR 1 ¾” headers with ceramic coating
Hinson cooling system with SPAL fan
Custom fabricated coolant surge tank
3” exhaust from collectors to x-pipe, custom 3” to 2.5” reducers, 2.5” magnaflow mufflers
Spring modded power steering with Pyro’s PS lines
New Era cleaned and flowtested injectors
Drivetrain:
Under 10k mile T-56
Pro 5.0 shifter with Steeda handle
Cobra Mustang leather wrapped shift ****
Mobil 1 ATF transmission fluid (recommended by T-56Rebuilds.com for all T56s)
Mobil 1 75w-90 differential fluid
Brand new RAM Clutch slave cylinder
30k mile LS6 clutch and flywheel
Hinson aluminum driveshaft
Etc:
Walbro 255lph pump
Custom bracket for the FPR in place of the ignitor
Sparco steering wheel with quick disconnect
Pyro’s custom shift boot in real leather with black stitching
Custom shift plate to reduce shifter hole opening with heat reflective material
Heavy duty Miata battery located behind driver (for easy use/access to the other bin)
How does this sound? If the car checks out that is? I have no idea how good that suspension is for handling/braking. How fast this car would be. Dude says it'll trap 115mph and it runs perfect and is totally reliable. I'm a LS1 guy all the way... but know little about these swaps and what their usual rate of success is.
Aside from price (Keep that irrelevant please), how does everything look? Paint looks very clean as well, thought I should add that part.
