SR20DET in an RX8

We have recently seen a pretty bad FS add for an RX7 with an SR20, but it looked like poop and they wanted a lot of money.

Well since my buddy has an RX8, he found this link for me

Finally, an RX8 that might be able to get out of it's own way.

Still won't turn for shіt though. =P

I, for one, simply can't see the point in devoting that much time, effort, and money to something that costly and inevitably unfulfilling, other than bragging rights.

As the guy said another Wankel was too expensive and could die again. If you like the way the RX8 looks and handles, want more power, better gas mileage, then this is a good way to do it.
