Ran a best of 11.67 at 120 my third trip to the track EVER and is the fastest time I've ever heard of recorded by any stock ls1 RX7 auto or manual. The next weekend the car turned some corners at the local AutoX and was chasing down Miatas.













Car Should Do 11.40s in the heat and better in good air the way it stands.

Thanks guys I really appreciate it. This was my first build and it was A LOT of effort. I made (it feels like) every mistake and I learned everything I know from it

Starting to see a lot of motorcycle engines for cheap.. thinking about trying my hand at building a kart frame and see if I can build a 600cc kart. Or go with a gixxer kart even though I think they are really too powerful. AWD would be sick but prob add too much complexity to the build.

congrats on the win.

kart idea sounds awesome, guy down in mass did that awhile back with a zx6-r engine, it was, well, damn fast!
