Default Nice RX7
I have always wanted to do a LSX swap in one of these cars.

Imagine a 408 F1-R swap in this puppy.

- Think this weighs in at 2800 lbs.

































Cheers

There is a white 94 RX-7 in the DFW area with a LS1 in it. It a freakin sweet car. The only thing is the hood had to be bent to close with a strut bar. That would be my dream car. I already had a 93 RX-7 and it was almost as sweet as my SS.

Clean car, but the body kit is too much for me.
