Too much $$$$$

They tend to all be around the same price regardless of milage in the junkyards. Try to travel locally to find the best deals. Also alot of good deals pop up here as well..

What's an Lti motor?

If you don't even know what engine you're talking about... perhaps you need to do some research first. You can't just "drop" any engine into a random car.

I would for sure keep the RX7 and get a LS1. On ebay you can find the engine, tranny, and pcm between 2500-4500. Ls1 RX7's are bad *** lightweight cars. Theres one around here, a 93 model, stock internals running 11.7's in the 1/4. Thats through manifolds and cats and stock intake.

Same here...Also the weight distribution in an FD with an LS1 is damn near 50/50.

On a side note i find it funny that all the ricers i know find a hard time believing the LS1 with full accessories in only like 50-70 pounds heavier than the rotary.
