i don't know what i should do. my car is so nice, but i'm wanting to get the weight down, but i don't wanna mess up a sweet ride. the rx7's are 2800 lbs with the LS1.
i can sell my formula (heads/cam/12 bolt, 51k miles, ws6 hood, c5 brakes, recaros, koni's, etc) for $15k. buy a 93-95 rx7 roller for $5000, ls1 motor and t56 for $3000, and have hinson do the conversion for $7500.

I like the idea but I would never spend that amount of money to have the work done. I know a guy that currently has a 302/t5 RX7 and a 383/T5 RX7. He bought both cars complete and between the two of them he spent less than 5k and that includes rebuilding the 302. By the way the 302 car is for sale. Go E Bay shopping. There are several of these that autox in our region but they never win. We also have a couple of very fast true e mod cars which by the way have the rotary motors and are close to the e mod weight minimum.
