some time and money gone into that, not sure on the exterior of it though.

That looks like its a monster, like that bodykit as well.

[yehreally]

ow much is that likely to sell for :Tongue1

[m1tch]

Why would you downgrade to a piston engine hehe If I were to do that I would at least put the HKS stroker kit into it lol

what a waste of an otherwise great car

what a waste of an otherwise great car

Its a bit like when people put V8s in them to make a V8-7



*is running really fast*

i think the skybus engine is a brilliant lump. sat in a brilliant shell. dont see the problem.   different stokes different folks.

if i had the funds i`d have a single turbo rotary and one of them sat in my dream garage

[turbo boy]

Im warming to the idea of a hybrid rex, tho a 1jz would be cheaper. If my rex fails me again when its back on the road i`ll go hybrid.

You might go to Rotary Hell for doing that!

[m4drx]

great power. shame it looks like a 4x4 chav monster truck.

dare i say it though - the RB26 is more unreliable than a ....el.

i like the idea of hybrids esp the 1jz and LS7s but that it because i fall under the not having "the balls to do it the right way"!! :p

[turbo boy]

You might go to Rotary Hell for doing that!

Yeah i know but you gotta draw the line somewhere. I`ll always be a rotary purist, but if it breaks in the first few years back on the road i`ll go to the darkside! I won`t tell anyone and disguise the 1jz 6cyl sound with sounds of a fully bridge-ported 13b pumping out of my subs on high vollume! LOL

[rx-dave]

I\'ve just sent a blown RX7 FD3S to Poland and the chap is dropping a TT Supra lump into it. How would the handling be on that i wonder considering how light the 13B engine is and also how far it\'ll be sat back in the bay compared to the much longer 3000cc Sup engine??

Yuck.  Why bother.  Must have spent silly money to produce a crazy fast car with a heavy front end.  Understeer a plenty.  Could have done 20b and had same power - but kept it special.
