FD vs LS1
Congrats on the kill. I agree that the looks of the FD are very nice. I have been thinking about getting one myself.
On of the guys that works here at NX has an FD ('93 model I think), it is one of the sickest cars I have ever seen, period. It is a ground up rebuilt with a molded body kit, carbon fiber hood and front/rear spoilers. The entire inerior is carbon fiber except for the seats and floor carpet. Full cage with a ton of suspension mods. He kept the rotary and went with a BIG single turbo and a custom nitrous system, controls it all with a stand alone engine management. On low boost and pump gas it's close to 500rwhp and on the high boost w/ C16 he was shooting for 850rwhp.
It sounds kinda like a hopped up go-kart when its at idle, but when he gets on I can't even describe how high pitched and loud it is, and the blow off is even louder when he's shifting gears.
There are pictures of it on Super Street Magazine's website I think. It was on the Feb. cover this year.

Thanx, I remember reading about the NX Rx7 you are talking about. that thing was amazing. have you ever got to ride in it? I'll bet it's one scary *** ride lol. My ultimate plans for my car are about 500 whp on high boost. but that will be on a large snail and another motor for sure.
BTW, Nice bike

Definately get the rotarty rebuilt, when done right they can handle a lot of power for such a small engine. He had two turbos for his, a smaller one for road racing that would spool up quick, and then a BIG one for drag racing/street driving. The nitrous system was in case he needed to spool the big turbo up quickly.
