Default Conversion Parts for 3rd Gen RX7

I am very proud to announce the development of www.HinsonSuperCars.com.

Many of you on the board have been following my ever so slow build of a 1993 Mazda RX7 Touring model with a 2001 LS1/T56 conversion. I'm glad to announce that the car will be up and running by the end of the month.

With the completion of the car, I will post more pictures and video of the working assembly.

www.HinsonSuperCars.com has been up and running for the past month now. I am offering the only known working GM Gen III working subframe for the 3rd generation RX7. The modified subframe will come with a custom torque arm, transmission brace, and a various documents to help with the install.

<img src="http://www.hinsonsupercars.com/RX7AndDodgeAtGasStation.jpg" alt=" - " /> The wing has been removed.

Pricing for the conversion assembly has not been determined yet. Specific pricing should be available by mid December, and I hope to ship the first few units before Christmas. I don't believe in rushing a product to market for the sake of a dollar. The main reason for the delay is to give me time to road and track test the products prior to mass production.

Please feel free to post here, email me, or call me if you have any questions regarding my build or anything related to the products. I look forward to helping any and all of you out in the near future.

With Regards,
Brian Hinson

I will be using the stock RX7 LSD for now or until it breaks. Since I'm not much of a drag racer, I think that it will hold for my intentions with the car.
