Many of you might know my brother's previous car. It was the cow spray painted civic hatchback w/ the B20Vtec. If you dont' know here is a picture: As per my brothers request he wanted me to show you guy's his new project. The car is a '88 Mazda RX7 and the motor is a LT1 (Chevy V8). I'm pretty stoked about getting this thing ready and running because estimated 1/4 times are high 12's w/ stock exhaust and everything. Here's some pics. Lemme know what you think
As soon as the weather gets a little warmer we are going to install the motor and hopefully take her for a spin in time for the March 9th H-Tech meet in Columbus.

LOL!

I will be there on the 9th. I look forward to seeing that.

 

whats up with the paintjob

 

im all for the swap...just cuz of the power
but for some reason it makes me still want to keep the rotary in there rather.

just like the datsun z's withte lt1's...

either wya, its gonna be a fun car.

 

He should use the JDM cow color code on the Mazda also

 

Looks like a big pice of clay.

 

he must love army green!!

 

Yea he likes the color a lot, his civic was that color before the cow.

It does look like a peice of clay! It's about as fast as one too. I hate the cold this thing hasn't moved for a while!

I never want to see another LT-1 RX-7. It scared the **** out of me last time.

 

That's just silly. Careful drivin that thing, and have fun buyin rear tires

 

what happened to the hatch?

 

He sold it for 7k to some guy, who then blew up the motor... he said he grew out of the civic.

 

your brother has a fetish for flat paint........

 

Good luck with her. Where is the meet on the 9th? Hopefully the snow will be gone.

 

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=410463 That's the Thread for the meet, it's at Polaris Parkway.

Hopefully she'll be done by then

awww.... he should have gotten a 1st gen rx7! i believe they are even lighter, and the swap is the same. when i had my 7 i was going to do this swap but it just never happend and i sold the car. a 2300 lbs car with around 350hp, yes you will NEED big tires if you wanna go anywhere. hehe just for kiks you should leave the stock rubbers on and practice traction loss, lol.

 

hahaha yea he got some Bigger Rx 7 Rear Wheels on the back and is going to leave the stock fronts on... I forgot what kind of tires he got but they are gargantuan! haha.

he really really hates clear coat huh?

 

hahaha yea, because you have to wax it then And he likes it when people come up and make fun of his cars... because they are always very fast.

 

you changed your avatar, is that your car now? or did you just throw out the old one because your bro sold it?

 

he sold the civic for 7 k? even thos its a b20 monster, he made a buttload of money, i know i wouldent pay 7 k for that b20 or not, props to your bro

 

Actually, he sold it with a JDM B16 in it, he sold the B20Vtec seperately... I'd say he came out ahead. hehehe

It's actually my car now, I finally have something that I'm proud of. figured I'd leave the cow alone.

Scott

 

o my damn!

 

Dude, that thing is going to be killer... There's one out here that has a V* motor and a 50 or 75 shot. And he runs low 12's or high 11's(should have been last year). But when he went down the track he couldnt even hook up on the track and all most hit the wall.

With drag slicks on it(hahaha).

 

I also don't like swapping in a V8 in place of the rotary...nor the V8's into the old Z cars...just kind of ruins their design IMO. But good luck to him nonetheless, because in the end it's his car for him to have fun with, not mine.
