Hey everyone. I finally purchased a RX8. I've wanted one since they came out.
Last week I found the deal I was looking for. 2005 RX8 automatic that is very clean
inside and out with a blown engine. The next day I purchased a ls1/t56 from a Transam WS6 with just over 50k miles on it.
Also ordered almost every part Hinson offers for the conversion.
I will start a build thread when the parts start arriving.

Sadly I'm in Afghanistan supporting my car addiction and not able to help with the build.
My friends in Tampa recently finished doing a lsx swap in my 93 RX7 so now they are
ready for the RX8 project.

And for you rotary lovers out there I have a 93 RX7 mild street port. atkin seals. pfc.

Nice forums. I've already found alot of the info I needed being a new owner.
Hopefully I can contribute to the forums.

Here is a pic of the RX8 and a link to my flickr account with pics/vidz of my other cars.

Non-rotary swaps is fighting words round here... Personally I think its badass and hope to see the final outcome on here!

 

Interesting 240 you have there

 

Will be peeking once in a while on this thread to see the build, good luck!

 

Nice! I love rotaries, but I cant lie a LS in my car would be awesome

 

LS1/T56 was pulled out and will be crated up for shipping soon.

 

My FD is pretty much done and most of the hinson rx8 swap parts have finally arrived. RX8 project finally begins.

 

 

Finished minus a few small details.

 

 

I'm posting a for sale ad with pics of all the leftover parts if anybody needs anything.
