Howsit?
Just postin up to hear some opinions. I duno if you guys know much about the Japanese RX8s or if they're pretty similar to US ones.

At the moment I have a RX7 race car, so I love rotary engines, and a Subaru forester turbo for the road. So in terms of power it will be a step back, I have raced a rx8 in my forester and smoked it. But im over subarus and love rx8s sound and look.

I'll be importing one, so it will be Jap spec. So a few questions.
- Can a iPod be easily installed? As I dont wana change headunits etc.
- Small stuff like exhaust, intake etc, do they need ECU change? Like a Apexi Neo, or will I need a full ECU like Power FC? Or will factory ECU run a intake without making it run funny.
- COuld anyone who's driven a G35 give me a little bit of a comparison? As Im also looking at one of those, but a V35 Skyline model.

Cheers guys.

You're importing the RX-7 or you're going to buy an RX-8 and then import it to the US???
