RCR: LS swapped FD RX-7

This is timely.

This is one of the older swaps and it looks to have been done very well. Pretty cool that this car was on the road with an LS from 04 to present day.

"I want an RX7 but I don't want the thing that makes it an RX7"
Dumb. The chassis makes it an RX-7. The rotary is an unfortunate distraction.

That's got to be the lifespan of 3-4 rotaries.

This is awesome, and I obviously like this platform better than the RX-8, but... The Rx-8 is a far cheaper starting point, and it's chassis is not anything to sneeze at.

The RX-8 is probably the #1 swap candidate for a sports car you might actually use more than once a month, based on all of the factors like the chassis, the back seat, and the extremely depressed pricing right now.
