http://www.mx5atlanta.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7408
14k for all of it from the shop. This hurts my head. Why would anyone do this?!

I would kick everyone in that shop, right in the balls, take my money back, then burn the shop to the ground.

Re: How not to swap LSx into RX7 (FD)
I just wonder if he actually paid the $14,000? Probably not.

Remember this thread is about an LS6 swapped FD? The shop charged him $12k + $2k for the LS6 upgrade.
Unfortunately, the only upgrade he got was the plastic LS6 fuel rail covers...
|
I just keep looking at the work and shaking my head and laughing...
I would have been so pissed off at them...
This is unbelievable...

Scroll down the mx5 page, and someone copied the thread into there. The rx7 forum link, is a dead link. |

Re: How not to swap LSx into RX7 (FD)
apparently the guy still does business with this shop. So shame on him.

Wow. Either a really rich guy or a really dumb one. To bad he got ripped off that hard.

Re: How not to swap LSx into RX7 (FD)
I wouldn't even do something that messy. That car seems dangerous to be let loose unto public streets.

I don't know why anyone would swap an LSx into an RX7, I never really liked that body style. |
