Are you going to fab up the mounts or using a kit like Renegade's?

1987 944 Ls1 its on like donkey shlong people.....
i have started collecting the supplys needed to start my conversion....
just bought a 98 LS1 the other day and am in the process of buying the kit... i know i know i should have bought the kit but i couldnt wait to start fiddling with the motor... you know how it is!! LOL
anyway i am gonna get all the fitting and just converted my harness for a stand alone install, gonna go out and get all the fittings and the vette fuel filter with built in regulator...
not trying to go too crazy with the motor as i want the car to look as stock as possible except for the 944ss logo on the back,
i think this car is going to be seriously fast with even the stock LS1 in it as it weighs about 2500lbs with a full tank....
should be cool to see what 1/4 ill get if i ever get some traction, but its gonna be a street car that occasionly will go to the strip....
just looking to have some fun not win any awards,
so what do you guys think, quick or no?

i would also like to NOT blow up my stock tranny that they "say" will handle at least 450hp so i might also do a small shot of juice for that extra kick.
does anyone on here know of anyone in the new haven, CT area that could mock me up a custom Y pipe?

im gonna use the renegade kit only because they already did the fitting and research,
hell the kit is only 2100 and im sure i would spend more time and blood trying to put it in myself..
i hope this car is gonna be quick as hell. i dont plan on doin much "racing" with it except for making my friends feel stupid. haha
i think its going to be so fun to drive. and that really all im looking for, a REALLY fast daily driver with low as hell mantenence
im gonna take some pics of what i got tomarrow and post them up, waiting on the kit but have the car and the motor. hehe

Verdad Gallardo Let us know how it goes. i've been reading up on Rx7/240sx/240zx swaps as they are more documented wanting to build a track event oriented car. Renegade has done the swap and it looks very nice.
