You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to cgEvan again.

I do like LS swapped FD's...

It's just a 2JZ swapped FD seems weird.

I know people and have heard of cars with rotaries running for a LONG time if you take care of them PROPERLLY.

Nissan, Toyota, and Honda all spent millions and millions and Mazda won with a car that wasn't even in the highest class.

I've probably owned more rotarys than anyone else on this board. I've had several that made over 200K without any engine problems. Out of all of them, one one motor has blown, and that was at the track, and due to my fault. It still drive home from Moroso - and was driving around a month later without a rebuild. Rotarys are reliable if you know how to maintain them.

2JZs are also good reliable motors, but I prefer to keep them in Supras. There is nothing wrong with the Supra either, it's just a different shell.

maybe they want to be somewhat unique n get on a magazine or something

That seems to be the trend i guess. Am i the only one that thinks motor swaps should atleast come from the same car brand.






Anybody?

It depends on how you look at it. Some people will like the chassis of a car, but maybe their favorite motor to work with comes from a different car brand. You can't really speak for everyone on this issue, some people will have legitimate reasons for doing these kinds of swaps. Like this guy, maybe he doesn't prefer a rotary engine, but loves the FD chassis, which happens to be arguably the best to ever come out of Japan. And the 2jz, you can't really argue with that motor except for the weight issue. It's complicated, but it really depends on what the owner wants and I think that's all that matters. What I think the best example for this is Jeeps. A Chevy V8 swap is extremely common, and also very easy to do. The inline 6 can only do so much, and the only other options are from the old CJ's and modern GC's, and those V8's don't compare to the Chevy 350 as far as reliability and ease of modification are concerned.

Basically a kit car mindframe.

I don't know if that's an insult, but regardless I would love to built a kit car some day if I ever have the time and money.

[redrumracer]

lsx in a rx is > that all other motors put in it.. and dont give me weight bs, the ls is an aluminum motor and is lighter that the stock equipment and they have kits to bolt it right in.

i have seen a rotary in a chevelle...and a nova...and the mustang with the rb from 3fast and furious...seems anything goes now days...

99.9% have not

.1% may lie and say they have

Not the best question because there are those of us on here that have never driven an open wheeler but can explain exactly what it does and how it does on a race track.

[Black R]

i guess you could also explain second-hand how to give birth too.
