Mazda rx8 with ls1 5.7 v8 conversion

Lovely looking car OP and a nice job on the conversion.

Paintshop appears to have some interesting cars in too - old Jag and RS1600?

A video of the new power plant and sound would make some interesting viewing.

Nice looking car, my best friend has a rx7 FD with the same set up. Just make sure you dry sump it if you planning to go on track! He is on his 3rd engine now and finally just digging deep and paying for the dry sump! Cheaper in the long run!

I love it when people suggest "dropping a V8 in it" as if it's a trivial undertaking.

It's all relative.

You can just "drop a V8 in", for relatively little outlay, especially if you do the work yourself, however I suspect in this case quite a bit more is involved with the whole car.

Hi, what actually happened with this after completion as no MOT ever since???
