^THIS. The only reason i can even begin to fathom justifying this particular swap is if your motor is gone, and YOU have the skills to complete this during spare time... pretty much a pure "bragging rights" swap
The renny is just starting to show signs of life. Going "oldschool" just doesn't seem like a great idea, unless it's a 20b.

It is great that the Renesis is starting to have some R&D put into it. I think that has to do with how cheap our cars has now become. The only reason I can think of going to the REW is that it has proven to have be quite reliable. I dont know any FI Renesis going over 50k yet.
