Normally you’d be seeing pictures & reading the spec but as Tim has decided he’s above sending us his pictures & spec’s of his many GSXR’s we have worked on for him, the best I can do right now is a rather iffy pic of him next a GSXR (not sure if it’s his or Martin’s)

Stuarts Rx7 V8

Blair — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 21:16:30 +0000

Had a drive out to Darlington today I’m not sure if Darlington is the end of the earth but if it’s not it can’t be much further away from Brum or at least that’s how it felt to me earlier! Owner Stuart was happy to see me & not for my wit either…. He’s not driven his RX7 for well over a year after suffering a couple rotary failures he decided it was time for a V8 and ordered himself a LS2 pullout & fitting kit from the states, unfortunately the garage he enlisted to do his conversion haven’t been able to get stuck into the project due to the owner suffering ill health, so a call was made to DynoTorque & were taking on the project.

Here’s what I found in the car….

And this was unloaded from my van

I made a start on the wiring after clearing out the car, after sorting the engine loom I moved into the car where I found a few potentially nasty suprises, the battery had been relocated to the boot no grommet had been fitted where it went through the cars floor & no fuse at all And to make matters worse look what I found at the ignition switch….

Smoking!

There was a familiar noise outside DynoTorque the other evening, it was the unmistakable sound of a burnout … Obviously we had to go outside & take a look and were greeted by the Driftworks lot performing but unusually it was the normally sensible (apart from his dress sense….) Kam ripping up the tarmac…

Somewhere in there is Kam, his 200sx, big James, flapper, bambam and others but I can’t make them out!!!

Craig came back into our workshop chuckling to himself seems Kam hadn’t checked that his new rubber was instock before he burntout his old ones…..
