I don't doubt it for a minute, at least in the short term. I'm hoping some good builders will start making this swap part of their bread and butter in the mid-term, after all the bugs are worked out and the parts distribution chain is reliable.

My wife has always loved the RX8 exterior (winning blue or bust), this is something she would go for in a heartbeat if the price was right.

I think it was the stock steering, but don't remember exactly. It would have been if it was an Isuzu V6.

Glad to see this actually happening. I can only hope that everything works correctly when it's all said and done. Sad to see the XXR's though.

Aww... I needed a set of rims. Regardless of what y'all say, my stockers were pieces of ****. This is my first set of aftermarket rims on any car, and I'd rather my first set to be fairly cheap. They're also half an inch wider than stock

Nothing wrong with them for first rims, I'm just sad you picked those particular rims because they are a dime a dozen due to the sizes available and price. But if your stocker were trashed then it's a step up
