New Engine
I have seen threads about what we can and can not put in the RX-8. Anyone ever think of taking the engine out of the 8 and into a nother car?

My first new car out of university, an '89 Suzuki Swift GTi, only 100hp and sub 1800 pound weight. It was what the mini should have been. A renesis in that would be too much fun, but worth more than the car. Better even...fabricate the rear axle in, talk about a sleeper.

The Renesis will fit in just about anything.
However, it really isn't the right choice unless you are just going for the "cool" factor.
Rotary Miatas have been done to death. The Monster Miata will still run circles around it as will just about any FM Miata.
I'd like to drop one in the Smartcar coupe. That would be really cool and pretty fast to boot.
Now, it would be a trick to import one...

I think I'm going to throw a 20B in a BelAir. Then I'll start a website claiming how great it is and how much it pisses of the Hot Rod crowd. Then I'll post it up on a Hot Rod forum and watch the thread go on and on and never end...

A Renesis-powered Elise would be one of the greatest driver's cars ever. Not that the Toyota engine is bad, but imagine a free-revving rotary in a ~2000lb car. Plus the RX-8 is rather quiet. Imagine hearing the Renesis sing right behind your ears!
