Now come give me a ride.:suspect:

Soon brotha, soon.

As soon as Kyle finishes up the bumper.

sheeit i made 315whp on the worst dual exhaust imaginable (and stock manifolds+cats)

makes me wonder what she'll do with headers and mandrel bent pipes

UPDATE:


Went today and weighed the FC. This weight includes me(190lbs) and 7 gallons of gas(42lbs total)..................
http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...y/FCweight.jpg

I am totally surprised! The company just got there scale calibrated last week and it only has a 5lb error varience WOW. I figured being the turboII model and having the LS1 would have made the car tip 3K easy.

I am happy :)

As for the FC, I have been driving it around like a mad man, getting some miles on the LS7 clutch and just seeing how the car reacts. I leave next thursday for the tune. :)

Thats how much my vert weighs... almost exactly.

Not bad considering!

Yeah not bad at all. A curb weight of 2728 dry tank, 2,827 with a FULL tank(100lbs) with a V8 is awesome. The OEM TurboII was 2845 with full tank of gas.

Hehehehehee....makes me giggle about some of the people on the other club that said that this swap made the car WAAYYYYY heavier. :)

Well we made it home yesterday..........it was a nightmare getting back. Old man winter HAD to have his last storm the day I come back from my tune!! Talk about a major pucker factor going over two of the passes at 5950FT with no chains(they were making everybody put on chains...we had none.

Rain and snow the whole way back....my car got some minor road rash :(

Lets sum it up for you with pictures:

Car loaded on Uhaul after cursing and having to remove some shit on the trailer to clear the front lip. *Cant open driver door once loaded since car is so low. You have to climb out the window....fun :'(

Then the car cover. NOW the only reason I ran a car cover was last month when I went to Spokane for a family death there was a TON of gravel everywhere. I figured I would take some paint chaffing over rock chips anyday. Soo I put masking tape on all the "high" areas of the body. It worked too, the only parts that got chaffed were the sides of the A and C pillars, and the rear fender.

The bad weather coming back...after seeing no gravel there we decided to ditch the cover since the weather was supposed to be decent...... lol

The worse weather at the passes....

Now I have to do some major polishing and overall car clean up. Car show next weekend....got to get to work.

So nice to be finished.......kinda ;)

WTF.....I get done after 3 years of sweat and blood and dont even get a "good job"? ;)

.......V8 haters lol ;) ;)

haha shut up sean. I already told you what i thought....GOOD JOB

fail. faggy pushrodds

Looks good sounds great

Ha... you're looking for kudos on a v8 swapped FC on ROTARYcarclub.com? :)

Without trying to sound like an ass... nah, screw it... I'll be an ass, lol.. I don't think there is much to say. LS V8 with 400hp and 350+ tq, its not really THAT surprising. I think you're car looks great and I hope you enjoy all the power and just drive the piss out of it, but I wouldn't expect people to be jumping up and down with excitement, lol..

There, assholish comment quota met for today!


Good job Sean!

So when do you get the cut off denim shirt, jeans, mullet, jailhouse tattoos, missing teeth, and handle bar?

But really it looks, and sounds amazing, Congrats!

:fawk:

lol i know i know, wrong place to post for congrats. I am just gitty I am done. Wish I could take you all for a ride in it, almost 500ft/lbs of torque & HP on the nose of the motor is VERY impressive in this chassis, just scary fast.

NOW you need to stop replying to people like me and get your FC finished man!! Send the wife out with her friends, feed the kids a ton of Robitussen and get in that garage and wrench all night.


Thanks buddy. I have already started to grow my mullet: soon I will be all business in the front and a party in the back.

NASA called, they want their launch vehicle back.

sweet toe nailed jesus thats some nice powAH!

The pic of the front end of your car when its on the dyno is beautiful. I *love* the blue on that car.

Looks much nicer sans BDC sticker :)

GOOD JOB BRO!

Lol, Iwould love a ride in Joels. U been in it?

Thanls bud. Yeah I am still in shock of what this motor made. That pic is one of my favorites too. I love the S5bumper and OEM lip

Sounds awesome! Congrats on getting it done. :D

Yup! Car's insanely quick.

Man I could only imagine lol. He is at like 450 rwhp right?

Yeah, and with those 315 sized ad08's, it's all g's and no wheelspin

UPDATE:

Had a huge local free car show today in the downtown area. Figured since I detailed the FC for 3 hours yesterday, what the hell right?
MAN! did it get a TON of attention, I was answering questions from 10am to 3 pm lol. I ended leaving early and didnt hear the car show winners.
Anyway the car is running great and FINALLY the weather is nice so the good driving starts

The NSX and the Civic race car are one of my good buddies(guy in orange jacket). He is trying to sell the NSX. Civic race car has a Integra Type R Motor and shit ton of mods. Car is stripped down to nothing and the motor makes about 196 FWHP....fun car:)
http://i721.photobucket.com/albums/w...ay/dyno017.jpg

Congratulations. Bet it feels good to finally be done. Damn nice power!

i was pissed i missed the show... lol lookin good.

Is this a OEM frontlip or the retrospec remake?
I just ordered the CF frontlip and CF sideskirts from retrospec. Hope they`re nice!

retro spec man! fits ..OK, not bad given the price. Careful not to drag it...very fragile.

So unless you're thinking about changing your biggest mistake, think I could get those exhaust sleeves back for the 'vert engine I'll be building in the coming weeks?

Went for a little joy ride with my daughter this morning in the downtown. Nothing new to report and frankly am still not used to this driving and shit not breaking lol(knock on wood):rofl:

:biggthumpup:

this is the first V8 swapped car where the engine didn't look completely out of place, i like it!

usually a v8 rx7 looks about as integrated as the pic of the cat with a pancake on its head, but yours looks very OEM.

mike

Looks fantastical....

Only thing I would add. is some hood struts... the prop rod looks so out of place on such a clean, well done, V8 molested FC chassis :D



J.

Thanks guys!! Hood struts are definitely a must.
I was going for a very clean installation I'm very ocd lol

GIMMIE A RIDE!:rant:

i got mine yesterday... holy hell. its fast. :0

Yes.........yes it is :coolgleamA:

Which one of these cars is out of place.......lol:smilielol5:
