A friend is nearly finished with his LS-7 powered FD. Built and sold an LS1 powered FD a while back, needed more powah.

 

I too love this thread, but trying to read that thread has made my brain die a little bit. Can I just say for the record how HORRIBLE it is to have pics in the signature line on forums. Just awful.

I'm totally lusting for a LS FD too. I think it would be a perfect everday sports car, but I'm still young and I still have ( and not planning to sell) my wagon, so I think something a little more track oriented and less compromised (read CHEAP) would suit me better. I'm thinking LS1 Miata or E30, but I would need a budget of roughly 13-15K.

This is what I've been thinking as a swap in the near term:



It was posted on nasioc a while back and I found it through volks swap a few months ago. He says it keeps up with STis and Evos. He spent $3K, which is damn cheap. I'd spend another G or 2 for a nicer paint job and a roll cage. Of course after seeing that notch, I don't think I want a beetle.

i can't stand signature line pics either. i don't know why most euro forums allow them. 99.9999% of them are ugly and it just detracts from the reading of the forum.

 

Audi V8 into a first gen MR2. Ummm, wow.

The signature line pics plus the HORRIBLE colors of that website make it a seizure waiting to happen. Ugh.

We now return you to our regularly scheduled threading

talk about shoehorned!

 

Bike engine based V8 in a Lotus 7
340hp NA...




or... if that wasn't enough power, Supercharged for 550hp

 

Very nice, but I'm pretty sure that's not a swap. Looks like a Caterham to me

 

bet my azn peen is longer then the axles in this MR8

^After reading that it sounds sorta like it's a "coachbuilt" Caterham... Chassis by Caterham, power by RS Performance

Not sure if that counts as a swap, but I'm pretty sure the Caterham guys didn't have a 550hp supercharged Busa based V8 in the initial design parameters.
