You can, for about $51,000 US + shipping if he is still selling it.

All these swaps and no FE3 swapped 8's... I would have swapped that in far before I ever thought about swapping in a Toyota or Nissan...

Swapping in an I4 how much does it throw off the 50/50? about as much as the 20B?

Just started her up yesterday, runs like crap-need to work on the map a little and break-in the engine.

Nice updates dznutzuk, make sure you let me know how that new box goes once you get the new motor dialed in.

I certainly like angeljoelv's color set up way better. The black-n'- blue combo is really amazing.

I used the housings from the RX8 5speed(no need for ppf alterations) but I used the center box(gears) from the FD.

Well here's a video, still runs like crap, figuring out the electronic throttle body is a bitch though especially since my car isn't tuned-not even at idle. It's kind of tricky to get it started seeing that the tb only works after about 65% depressed throttle when not running and while cranking.

I subscribe. I am proposing to do a swap, because compression problems I have with my renesis.
