FC RX7 Track car project. - Toyota Yaris Forums

largeorangefont · 02-06-2009, 09:13 PM

I've had the car for a couple months now, and have just been doing some maintenence and suspension/chassis upgrades to get the car fully sorted out before I put an LS1/T56 and a roll bar in it later this year.

It is an 86 NA car with a streetport, full exhaust and intake. It is on coilovers, with all solid suspension bushings.

skip the LS1 and do a 1JZ IMO..

and when the time comes, PLEASE PM ME for your driveshaft needs. i do custom stuff all day long.

No I cant skip the ls1. :)

Do you do halfshafts/CV joints as well? I will be putting a Cobra IRS 3rd member in the car and need custom halfshafts.

i don't personally do halfshafts, but i have a contact who does.. amazing work.. not cheap though.

get me some specs on your bolt pattern, approx length, horsepower and approx weight as well as pilot diameter and i'll get you quotes on monday.

Wow, that is clean! Nice!

Tamago · 02-06-2009, 09:50 PM

what rear end are you going with? will it be flanged input or yoke?

my current project is a 1st gen RX7 with a fully built 2JZ (automatic) in it.. the guy is a paraplegic thus the auto trans. gonna be a ridiculously fast car :D

tuckevalastin · 02-06-2009, 09:51 PM

That thing should come to life with an LS1, nice track car!

The Cobra rear will have the OEM pinion flange. I was planning to use a Cobra alumnium driveshaft and have it shortened and balanced or have a custome one made up. I'll drop you a line when the time comes.

I wouldn't even really need hubs. just a halfshaft that could connect to the Cobra CV on the inside and the RX7 on the outside. I still need to gather a bit more info on the RX7 side.

IMO aluminum isn't worth it.. especially in a relatively short driveshaft.

skip the ls1 and go ls2!

looks good man, have fun with it.

blacksandiegovitz · 02-07-2009, 12:43 AM

Very clean fc you got there man ! looks pretty good so far , Imo I'd just keep modding the suspension and rock that stock motor till it kicks the can. Ls1 is a tried and true motor but really kills the track balance of the Fc , and will put you into the unlimited class in most road/track/auto-x events. I'm a fan of the fc/ls1 swap but it really makes the car more of a sleeper drag/high speed straight-away car .

Not really... the LS1/t56 is about 20lbs heavier then the turbo rotory and tranny. It does not mess up the balance hardly at all.

CCW Classics, KOOKs longtubs, coil-overs, custom mandrel bent side exhaust, cams, etc...
