Yes - ah £9k - I'd be more than willing to pay that if it was in an RX7 or an M3 Coupe but a 4 door saloon I know it's a sleeper but if I'm spending £9k I'd like to feel like I'm in a nice car.Interesting - although why are all the pics upside down. That's a good bench mark for me should I decide to sell my beast.
I really like the corvette covers. Maybe my beast needs some of those. I'm always disappointed when I show men the engine and then if I ask them if they know what it is they always get it wrong. Come on men. Even a complete idiot could not miss corvette plastered all over it right.
Have we got any LS1 experts in the house - why does this have a distributor type affair on each bank?

The picture's pretty fuzzy, I can't tell whether it's eight individual coilpacks relocated in two groups of four on some sort of mount, or two distributors. Either way, seems a bit odd and looking at various Corvette LS1 engines nothing like what it left the factor with?
I always thought that in standard form left and right bank coilpacks were modulated separately, like so?

Yes thats what I have along the rocker cover. The ebay car has what looks like 2 x 4 ways, one per bank.I always thought that in standard form left and right coilpacks were modulated separately, like so?
Yes - that is Papercup's RX7 - build thread is on here.
Seems to be a great car - albeit now owned by a complete arse, a trader pretending he's not, infamous on RX7 forums TABZ and is asking IMO far too much for it - hence why it's been up for a month or so - they usually sell within a week.
RX7 LS1s tend to fetch £10k+ LS2 £12k+ this one I'd see at £15k+
