What was the swap kit?

That's from last years USCC. If you go pick up the new Sport Compact Car or maybe it was last month there is a whole article comparing the LSx swapped rx7 to a rotary to a Z28 camaro. It's a really good article I had no Idea how heavy the rotary is and how light the LS1 is.

hrm , i don't understand the import vs domestic aurguments at all, i like cars period.
i own a 91 civic and an 84 jimmy, i like my civic because its fun to drive and its pretty( for lack of a less gay word)
but i don't automatically hate domestics, in fact i am interested in looking at how their engines work and how everything is set up, pretty cool stuff.
rode in a 72 pontiac lemans with a 400 ( he said its a big block) last weekend, and that ****** is cool as hell , started raining and that bitch got sideways fast, lol.
i think the difference is the drivers, most import guys around here are punk kids who run their mouths, so they make all import guys look bad. whereas most domestic guys make fun of the little import motors without taking the time to learn anything about them.
to each his own i guess, this guy down the street from me is building a 500hp na camero, he came over one day and started talking about how his ---- was better an whatever, rather than argue with him i listened to him and respected his opinion ( come to find out he knows nothing about honda's) anyway, now he is my best friend and came over saturday and help me put my vitara's in my motor i'm building.
i think import and domestic people can learn alot from each other.
