13's with nitrous? Why does that sound slow for the amount of power that car is probably producing? Don't S2000's run 13's stock?

That is a pretty sweet idea though. RWD in a little, light hatch would be alot of fun.

I've also heard of v-8's into rx-7's and 240sx's. In the last issue of SCC I believe they featured a turbo engine swap into a geo of some sort? Don't remember the details but it was pretty unique. The mazda swapped festivas are nice.

i remember a v8 1st or 2nd gen rx7 out at the races like 3 years ago (when racing was decent). it was white and pretty sleeper, minus the cam and the square cut in the hood with the carb sticking up with a filter on top.

Ya, I know I have seen a couple if older imports at Sunshine Speedway with v8's under the hood. Ive never seen a Geo swap, that would be some cool shit to see. Anyone find a link to a geo swap, post it up.
