Default Anyone know this LS1 RX7 guy?

I was at Great Lakes Dragawy and saw an earlier gen RX7, yellow, with an LS1 conversion... Did not have a hood on it when I saw it, very nice swap. Motor appears to sit a little high in there so I'm wonder what his hood solution looks like.

There is a guy that goes to Speed Inc that has one. I believe it is yellow. I saw it once. It had no hood also.

John, check out HinsonSupercars.com Brian Hinson owns this business and is specializing in LS1 Rx7 swaps. He has a mid 10 second RX7 himself and has done about 15 conversions to date. Hes also located in Alabama.

Ditto what Cammin said. He just posted a vid of his car in the multimedia lounge - the car is very interesting to say the least.

Sorry to say but he has completed more like 2-3 conversions including his own. There are a few guys using his fabricators subframe (Lane Culver) for their swaps but Brian sure hasnt done 15.

I know about Brian Hinson.

I think yellow one is an earlier body style.

Mine went 12.9@112 on street tires and a bone stock motor
A guy in Florida went 11.4@127 with BFG's and a cam and a small spray
and brian has gone 6.7@103 in the 1/8th with a small cam slicks and a 100shot. He is putting H/C on the car now and should be running next weekend in the 1/4.

Quick little cars but we have a MAJOR weight advantage over you F body guys. We are around 2850-2950 without driver and we have 4.10's or 3.90 rear stock too. The only bad part is I have to hit 5th at the 1000' with street tires but should be ok with taller ET Streets.
