Swap guy new to forum - LotusTalk

V8RX7 · 01-15-2006, 08:54 PM

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and thought I'd say hello. I met some of you at the Golden Gate Lotus club drive last weekend, I was the guy in the RX7. My brother has an arctic silver Elise and I love the feel of his car. I'm into cars with engine swaps as you can see by my sig, the type who will encourage experimentation with the likes of an sr20det, Audi V8, or other motors in an Elise. For those of you that like old Datsuns, here's a pic of my Z:

Hi Brett, Welcome to the site!!

I dabble with swap cars too. A supercharged 302 V8 Monster Motorsports Miata, a Turbocharged Motor Swapped 67' Mini Cooper and a Porsche 914/6.

I've got 3rd gen Rx7 love too but never did a conversion. Mine were built rotary with single turbo conversions. Good times.

That's an awesome looking Z car you have there!

All these guys with SY cars and "hardtop" in their sigs are tormenting me!

Thanks guys. The Z was a lot of fun, after 3 years and tons of time invested I just sold it about an hour ago. Crazy how things change! Time to focus on the RX7, here's more pics of the Z if your interested. The car is viewable in the "Featured Cars/Black 240Z V8" sub gallery.
