Worlds First RB26 Swapped RX-8 ( RB8 )
I'm not sure if the owner is a member here, but I thought I'd share some updates on the build. TCS and ABS and all of that will be retained. Haltech Platinum Sport 2000 will used.
All Credit goes to the builder and owner of the vehicle :D

There's not really a build thread, the fabricator is postings pics as he's going along the process. I will update the thread as it goes :D In about 3 weeks time, the car was stripped, old engine out new engine fitted, fabricated mounts and crossmember, shifter fits perfectly in stock location, crapload of wiring soldered and heatshrinked, etc etc.

Out with the old AWD pan and in with new RWD pan
She sits well in there,plenty of room and motor is smack dab in the centerline of the front axle

Same here, also following the actual builder :D He said that all the creature comforts will be up and running just like stock. Let's see what amazing stuff he can accomplish

Oh and the Greddy kit for the RB26DETT uses the same T618Z turbos as the RX-8 kit.

Looks great very impressive. Autocross last weekend we had an amazing Yellow S2000 with the Corvette V8 in it (LS7 I think) great car but it wasn't very fast around the track too much power.
My time CS 666 PAUL WRIGHT MAZDA RX8 71.458
His time EM 892 CARLOS RIOS 01 HONDA S2000 88.162
Not sure if it was just driver error or what but all the stock S2000 were faster too
