Default 88 Mazda RX7 TII LS1/T56

Here's my swapped car, 3rd owner with the LS1.

On the old motor (same set up as now except heads), the car went 11.2@124 on the motor only and 10.85@136 (138mph best trap) on a 150 shot (very traction limited, obviously). It never saw the track on a big shot.

Info on the car:

RPM Stage V T56 w/ RPS Steet Twin Lite
Custom modified rear subframe built by Andrewb70 to accept an 03/04 rear diff is waiting for the rest of the parts to complete the swap.

Here's the Corner Weight of the car with half a tank of gas and some misc **** in the car

LF 742 707 RF
LR 701 724 RR
Total 2876
Cross 1410 49.0%

Left 1444 50.1%
Right 1432 49.8%
Front 1449 50.4%
Rear 1426 49.5%


A few shots of the car, I don't have any current ones as the car has been storage for over 2 years now while I was deployed and stayed there after I got injured a year and a half ago. I fire it up every time I am home (every other month at worst) and drive it if the weather is nice. I'm about to move someplace where I can have it again and I'm looking forward to it.

Pic of what the subframe will be like with the diff, this is just a pic from the guy that makes the subframes.


New Radio


Used the trailer to pull my bike and some furniture to Fort Bragg. Hitch simply unbolts.

This car is legendary. It was the inspiration to build my car.

It has serious history in the LS1 Rx7 community.

Yeah, Hocky did a lot of stuff with it and posted a lot cool videos. One of the first really fast LS swapped 7s. I did all of the major mods with him when he had it and I'm glad I got the opportunity to pick it up. I'm pretty sure my exact words were "If you sell it to someone else, I'll kill you in your sleep" when I found out it was for sale. I actually ended up mailing a check to him about 3hrs before I flew to Afghanistan for my first deployment.

Must has! Black is the only color for such a wicked car/engine combo. You must **** off all the rotary guys.
