What's up guys! Its been awhile since I've been on here. Some may remember me but most probably won't, anyways! I just wanted to show you all what's been up in my ltx world.
popo commented on a photo of this car I posted on instagram awhile back and asked me to share it on here, sorry it took me so long man! But I'm here now!

So, here it is. An 1985 rx7 with my mildly built lt1/t56 in it. The swap was a blast to do. If you guys are interested I'll post a much more detailed build thread to show the details.

We remember you! What happened to the tube front end on the Camaro? Loved watching you work on that. Can't wait to see what you do with this

You guys are too nice lol...thank you though!
Yes, I did give up on the camaro...it was a tough decision and it broke my heart but for some reason I had lost all interest in the car... :thumbdown: all I had left to do was put the motor in and clean up all the chassis wiring but for some reason I just wanted a clean slate to start over with.
This was the camaro the day I pushed it out of the garage

I never got rid of it. Its still sitting in my backyard.. :( its sad to think about but driving this Mazda makes me feel better. Lol
I'm flattered you guys followed my build and remember me, thank you!

Of course man... You made a def impression.

Is the camaro ever gonna be a project again, or is it gonna be hauled off or sold.

:D
I Dont want to sell it, as of right now I'm keeping it for a future project...probably a full blown drag car waaay down the road. Haha


Nice car!!!

Thank you!
It weighs 2,676lbs with me in it, a 3/4 tank of gas, a spare tire and zero weight reduction
and the headers are for a 62 Chevy nova, fit like a glove on the driver side but the pass side had to be totally redone.
I'm gonna post a detailed thread that will go more in depth about it

Yeah that car is cool and I bet it's a blast to drive.

Also I was really looking forward to seeing the camaro get finished , hopefully you get it back together someday soon.

I sense a drifter in you? It's an idea in my mind to throw my lt1 in a 2nd gen rx7 as a drift car in the future. I definitely want to see your buildup!
