LSx meets NSX, someone is going to cry.

I didn't read but apparantly the swaps keep on coming and there is an easier way to do this with the FWD Lsx stuff.

LOL that is totally awesome. Just like v8s into rx7s, there are going to be some angry purists out there.

Re: LSx meets NSX, someone is going to cry.

I was half thinking of how to stuff one of those into the Lotus. But that's a hell of a lot of work. Should be cool when it's done, but probably easier to just build a tube frame from scratch rather than hack an NSX to pieces.

Re: LSx meets NSX, someone is going to cry.

Quite the project. One one hand i hate it when people get pissed and all butt hurt when someone does a swap like this, but on the other hand, i would get pissed if someone swapped a Honda motor in a DSM.
But regardless, he is really detailed and is doing a great job on this, unlike that other FD LS1.

Re: LSx meets NSX, someone is going to cry.

I'm surprised how many people swap H22's into Elises. Seems like a lot of work when you can just throw a blower on there and have more power.

Those Celica motors the Elise come with are junk though.

Re: LSx meets NSX, someone is going to cry.

Or the 240sx's with a ls1 swap... A buddy of mine is doing this, apparently some dude makes kits for it.
