Default ok i'm here

my name's andrew. i'm a software QA engineer by day so i can break cars at night.

i recently got an LT1 to drop into my '88 RX-7 for road racing and some occasional drifting, so that's how i ended up on this forum. you can see some pics of my project here

i worked at a shop for a while and rebuilt a few rotaries as well as a 4-banger or two. last summer my friend and I built an LS1 powered '93 RX-7.

mmm that's about it for now.

Nice job. I seen a LS1 powered RX7 in a 80s model. Ran 12s spinning threw the 1/4. So drifting shouldnt be a problem
