Ok then!!
I would suggest doing the man a favor and putting some more heat shielding around the trans area
the cup holders can get really hot and there is a space inbetween the tunnel and the e brake in which heat comes through.
Air source for the engine TB to come from the hood area?

What does this refer to? Are you going to have a step by step guide available that will cover the entire swap process? That would be very cool, and Im sure alot of people would be interested in reading it. If I misread, please explain.

i doubt he will give that kind of info away for nothing. After all he has a business....
are you going to do a oil filter relocation?
You know if you could figure out a way to get the rx8 trigger plate mounted somewhere and mounted the magnet that reads it then most of the dash would work.......????

Hinson already has a cnc mounting kit for the crank angle sensor and I believe they made their own trigger disc(RX8 style).

I want to see how much room there is for a couple of turbos or a supercharger. I know for twin turbos I'd have to relocate the fuse block and the computer assembly. Although Hinson told me that it would screw up the weight balance.
