Just a little thread of my new to me RX-8 w/rew swap.
Sold my FD and picked this up about a month ago.

Its perfect for me cause i have to kids! and i get to stay rotary.

I bought it about a month ago and i'm loving it!:D:

I'm hoping to get better photos taking real soon.

Well enjoy!

wow ... very clean looking swap ... more more more

batangisip89 07-19-2011 12:25 PM

awesome swap! Ive always wondered how people keep these swaps on the street since its illegal to put an older motor in a newer chassis...?

dznutzuk 07-19-2011 01:00 PM

Nice! What are those 2 thingys next to the bov(under the strut bar)?

Not sure about that... I'm in Florida and never had a problem with registration.

it varies in state about putting old motor in a new car i belive... so not all states have that law.

pdxhak 07-19-2011 05:16 PM

Some states or counties within them do not require you to smog your car so no one ever checks.

pdxhak 07-19-2011 05:18 PM

firecran, clean looking swap! how is the car running?

9krpmrx8 07-19-2011 05:20 PM

Sick. I have noticed a few of the REW swapped guys have the same ECU heat shield. Are all of these swaps being done by the same shop? This car was for sale here right?

Roidz 07-19-2011 07:33 PM

Looks great.

Yes it's the car that was for sale on here by SSA.
Speed one built the car and they get all the credit!
The build is done right!

I always wanted to do a rew swap in a rx8
And then this pop up forsale. So I jumped on it.
It's cheaper the buy someones upgraded car then you build it yourself.
If it's done right and this cars is!

Winner, winner chicken dinner!

I like your sig... "2005 WWP w/engine mod"

That's putting it mildly!

Love the car, looks great.

Ross_Dawg 07-20-2011 04:56 PM

looks great man! Time for some wider wheels/tires though to put all the power down :)

Thanks,
Yeah, thats what I'm buying next.
Current wheels are 9.5" wide, not sure how wide I can go.
Sticky tires will definitely help too.
