How many people rolling around in a LS1 RX

[Spartacus]

Have a look on the hinson supercars web site for some nice vids etc. The sound of those things alone makes you want one:InLove

i built it myself and it is a daily drive thats its main use,it all works like a factory car ,no probs  its good on fuel ,reliable,good all round,sounds great

This I am VERY interested in...

can you give us some more details (and pics!!:Laugh )... how much did the conversion cost? is the f/r weight balance the same? is the cog of the engine higher up than the 13B\'s? have you kept the origional transmission? cooling system? AC? generally everything!!

I would absolutely LOVE an LS1/RX7, but there seems SO little info about them in the UK, let alone any workshops that can undertake such a project....

..so please tell us all!! I\'m sure there are many others that would be chomping at the bit if there was a relatively hassle-free path!

Been busy researching and chatting away on Torque central and it seems that 500rwhp is quite (that term is used loosly) easily achievable.

LS2 +:

*LS2/LQ9 w/ 4.0" Crank STD bore = 402cid $2,195.00







*AFR 225 SBF Race Heads US $1,939.00




*FAST/COMP CAMS LSX INTAKE FOR LS1/LS6/LS2 90MM US $743.32



* A healthy cam, dont really know much about that but should\'nt think it would cost that much.

All this stuff is easy to get through ebay.com lack of the knowledge in the uk about these engines is the number one enemy, these engines can handle so much nos it makes you giggly. PS LS2 engines are about 3000USd more than a  equivalent  LS1. personally the only thing i dont like about these enginese is they tend not to be able to rev much past 6,500rpm

Monaro also uses the same series of engine.

Has it?

Honestly didnt know that (kind of embarassing as i write for total vauxhall magazine, LOL)

Either way, still loads of them around getting crashed to nick the engine from in the scrappy

Yeah, its going next year, thought you had a scoop on it gone already then, LOL

Vauxhall hasnt said yet (as far as im aware) if it will be bringing in anything similar to replace it, i guess it will depend on how many they sold of the existing one and what they think the market wants.

Personally i hope they do bring over the replacement later on, properly cool cars i reckon.

OMG! :mmmm  that noise is awesome. i wish my fd sounded like that. it\'s the one thing fd\'s really miss out on-it\'s usually all exhaust and turbo noise.
