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.
