You havn't been out in an LS REX then. A lot of people have the same view. None of them have been out in one iether.

Not clued up on JZ engines yet but website says it's from a 2000 soarer. http://2jzswap.com/

Hehe. Seems to be a car that provokes reaction! The rotary CAN be unreliable I had 2 fd - both mint - one was unreliable (standard twins) one never missed abeat (large single500+ proved on two dynos) but I only did 15k in it and that seems to be the hit and miss of it. They are great track car. There is one lad having an ls1 put in his RX7 (500 rotary just taken out) who drives a Porsche 911 GT2 as a daily! He has bought a triple rotor RX just for fun whilst the conversion is being done. In his words - 'the RX7 is in a different league to the GT2 when it's fun/track time' - a strong endorsment I would have thought. If any one is near Birmingham I can recommend a visit to a guy called Craig who is gaining a great reputation for the LS1 conversion. Also watch for the 1/2JZ conversion gaining popularity now there is a kit for it. 1JZ in Fd3 - same kit for 2JZ just being honed before release. LS1 in Fd3. Craigs is 7l 600torque 550 fron 2500RPM :) The silver car on the ground is now housing the 7l fron Craigs and belongs to the GT2 driver.

Oh ye! - forgot about the MPG. Put an LS1 in it or, the latest conversion kit, 2JZ GTE! (yes I know they are heavier engine).

The words 'I think' he uses in his statement should give the game away that it is his opinion. I am willing to be proven wrong but I cant see where he said 'it is'.

Jeesus Ant you get everywhere! Just to add I ran 500+ FD3 as an everyday car but had a reasonably quiet exhaust system which cost me 20hp from a loud one and IMO was a good trade off. They are very 'specialist' cars but realy are an amazing drive when set up right. Much lighter than a Supra and positively dances on it's toes when driven hard. P.S. Sorry this is my first post, been lurking for 3 months!
