Just a reminder guys or to clarify... Its not a regular automatic transmission, It wont shift up or down unless you actually either move the stick or press the paddle. There is no drive gear for old people. So trust me its as much fun as a manual but you wont miss any shifts.

 

Is that the tranny from CRH?

 

WOW werent we talkin about 2jz's and rx8's and stuff?

 

This may have been asked and I missed it. How does it handle now? I'm sure you can tell a difference, but im sure it's awsome.

 

Who's car are you asking about? Angel's or Sixgen's?

 

RGonza's I think...

 

i cant wait to get my hands on some 2jz rx8 footage and i hope noone else is doing a 2jz swap so it will be more unique than having a rotary engine

 

There are a few 2JZ 8's running around already, I think CRH said he has his axles on one of them...

 

im still the only one with an sr20 though

 

You know.... I had an EJ20 (WRX) sitting in my garage for the longest time, that I fantasized about being in my 8.... I really wish that I had the testicular fortitude to try and swap it in.

 

Wow theres an rx8 thats up and running with a 2jz? Never seen it before. Wonder how much that swap costed him? I might consider doing a 2jz swap , love the sound of the inline 6. It also depends on the price though. Of course this thread is off topic , its pretty much dead. Wheres the updates on the swap?. Yeah.. Wow an auto tranny that doesnt shift until you tell it to. Sounds very interesting. How much did it cost to swap it in? Did it bolt right on to the 20b? Or did it require some custom fabrication? Interesting

 

Did you finish your swap ? or what ?

 

any updates on this swap?. anyone....

 

Nope no updates lol , this is what usually happens with engine swap threads.

 

ouch...well i will be done with mine by the end of this month provided all my funds come through.

 

Lol , when your car is done be sure to take ALOT of pics and videos. Ill be your number 1 fanboy >_>. Oh and you have to let me drive it , thats the common rule for being a rx8club member. Yep read the rules. Section 24-A states when doing a Sr20 swap into the rx8 , you must give all rx8 members an equal and unbiased opportunity on test driving the vehicle per user satisfaction . Damn look at me , im like a "forums Law" encyclopedia. They should make me an admin. Oh yeah and unbiased opportunity means giving even tajabaho a chance lol.

 

Luckily for CMR that rule doesn't apply to him, since he swapped in a sr20 not a 2jz.

 

i will gladly let somone test drive my car, with me folowing behind them in there car with a large cash deposit.lol

 

Damm, this suck!, still no updates....
