Welcome!
where abouts in TX are you?
tell us more about the swap: did you do it yourself? have you had a chance to dyno? how do you the powerband, etc
interesting tallights. have more pictures?
I was hoping to post a build thread on everything so far but I can't yet despite having 10 post lol.
The car as of now is as bolt on stock as can be. It did 289whp on 7lbs of boost. Tunes by st00pidfast in Houston TX. I'm from east Texas. Engine mounts fabbed up by a friend and the rest I did in my garage
power band is great even running in TTC mode. Gearing is miserable for now. The r3 has a 4.7 rear which with the r154 trans and actual torque means I'm shifting like an s2000. 65mph at like 3100rpm
Despite all of the internet myths of the added weight ruining the handling etc I call bs. You can notice the weight but with decent coils and good tires I can't see much difference compared to similar cars. To be fair I've never driven a running rx8 so idk how far from that actual driving it experience. Haven't dealt with several jz swapped s chassis I can say this car out handles those without even trying.
If you want to do a build thread, start a thread here and I can move it into the correct subforum for you since you're still restricted due to joining less than 30 days ago.
