    My middle son (25) bought a COOL fast car!

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FD-RX...=p4506.c0.m245

    I have not seen this car, but I did see his 1st LS1 conversion when it broke into the 11s on street tires. The guy is putting in another clutch and fixing the one headlight that is out. I don't like the fart can, but it sounds like a loud NASCAR car at high revs and is LOUD when nailed! I gave my son a line to a couple of real nice stock drivers seats.

    I will have to work on him to let me take it to a SDAC event and add my 300 hp N2O kit to it....after putting in good rods and pistons of course!

    LSX swap is the single best mod to a rotary available! lol

    A vette in the garage, a lifted Wrangler (or maybe its on jackstands) in the garage, and an SRT-10 Ram next door!

    He wanted a Viper, but they seem to be a normal hot car...tried to talk him into a S3 SRT4, he loves my S2 12 second one...but it's still just a Neon...he finally got the looker he was wanting!

    I wonder how it compares to the Vette?

    He has the Vette BUILT! Notice the nitrous bottle in the garage....his 1st LS1 conversion ran low 10s...the Z06 does too.

    Those LS1 swaps are awesome. I think your son will be satisfied with the purchase. A couple guys in town have been doing them for the last seven-eight years and the last couple cars have netted them over $40k profit. I can't wait to ride in thier latest creation, which is a red FD with a turbo'd LS1.

    It has been lowered a lot and my son just creamed the oil bpan at a gas station...on those small mounds that they have the metal caps on to fill the stations tank...he found a frisbee sized puddle of oil and is having the pan fixed. He plans on raising it too now.

    I found a non-running (engine in, but needs the wiring finished) for 12k....low mile chassis.

    Hinson is the name of the company that makes the swap kits....look them up on the internet and see if they can sell you the instructions and/or what wire adapter harnesses are needed. They also do the swap kits for the Soltice and Sky!
