What do you do when you blow up your twin-turbo'd 350z? Build and LS1 FD!This will be my first non-Nissan/Datsun build in a long time! I am building this RX-7 for my friend, Ben. It is a '93 with a full LS1/T-56 drivetrain swap from a Camaro. It is a total sleeper down to it's rotary-specific RacingBeat muffler, but it sounds like, well only a muscle car can sound this good!
A couple of video clips I took of this beast!

RacingBeat muffler
Stoptech's
I will try to replicate the Stoptech brakes, engine bay, and chassis. The BBS RK wheels will have to go, but Ben is undecided on wheels. Hopefully they will be CE28Ns or TE37s
I am using the Tamiya RX-7 R1 kit and the Revell SS Camaro/Corvette kits for the drivetrain bits. I hope the 1/25 drivetrain will fit easily in the 1/24 chassis.
Making room for the LS1 tranny, removed rotary and radiator:
It fits?!
Test fitting 350z 18" and 19" TE37s which look freakin' huge on this car, right?
