If rebuilt wasn't good enuff, why we don't just get new engine, why RE-Amemiya, RotorMaster, Mazfix, FEED and KS rebuilt so many engines a year?????? Think properly pls..... rebuilt is so freaking common, maybe you don't realised....

RX8 weight is 1310kg, you add turbo, defi, bodykit, wing, ICE and girls easily can weight 1450kg...... You wanna do full carbon body parts and throw away rear seats?? I thinking of that... Don't boost too high lar, you need to strenghten your torque converter.....

Bro, my engine parts almost everything gone. Basically all also need to change. Instead of buying a new one, I chose to send to Autoexe for RE fine tuning @ 0.001mm deal. Probably they will buy the parts (Wangan arranged). Buying a new engine will depends on how good the RE deal come out later on.

Perhaps we should look for similarities for this 3 cars in KK in terms of:
- Milage
- Maintenance schedule
- Engine Oil used
- Petrol used
- Mods done
