It's great when you HAVE money like that.
Whee! You get a new car and rip out it's guts. Then you drop it 3 inches and slam a 3 rotor 20b engine in it!
Please let us know what the final tab comes to. If the price is right, maybe I'll bring my car up there for a retrofit.
edit: suck it down

Help! Grammar police!

That's what it sounds like to me... it pains me to scan through some threads. I can FEEL my literacy decay. Sorry for this post containing nothing to do with cars, but please people -- I swear you're hurting each other intellectually.

The engine compartment is actually bigger than the 93 rx-7. after you remove the ecu and battery. Acostaracing has done alot of wiring to the car to make it work. The weight distribution will be almost the same, cause we are adding weight to the front of the car, but at the same time we are adding weight to the rear of the car, (ex, battery) my ecu is now in the front passenger side like the FD rx-7. I'm very very happy with the project so far, everything is goin so perfect.
