Another ls swapped coupe AKA Round Three Little history. Spent most of my early 20s obsessed with hondas and decided one day that 14s werent gonna cut it anymore. Picked up a 2001 s10 and did a LS1/t56 swap and was instantly hooked on ls power. Truck ran 12.6 at 110 with a horrible launch. Year later drag radials and pouring rain claimed the s10. Pulled the drivetrain out and swapped it into 91 rx7. Car was a blast went 11.6 at 124 and flat out rolled on the big end. Dailied the car for over a year and eventually the ls1 ate a piston due to an overheating issue. Swapped a 6.0 and a 8.8 irs in it and planned on having fun. I've always wanted a fox body and a couple months ago while i was at work my buddy called and told me he found me one. Got home a week later from offshore and parted out the rx7. So the saga begins. Goal is to build a car that weighs the same if not less than the rx7 but has a straight axle. Nicked name round three because this is the third chassis for most of the parts lol

Ended up using alot of parts from the rx-7. Harness, radiator, fuel system etc. The car had a 3550 trans in it and they had cut off the original trans mounts so i decided to copy the crossmember that was in my rx7.

Should get it started next time i get in from work. Car has a sn95 rear so i orded the shorter axles and brackets from northracecars. Also ordered a cluster from florida 5.0. Hopefully everything will be in when i get back. Also managed to snag a 2" cowl hood off of craigslist.
