^^ i don't know of a better way to say that.
i'd have to be with you on this one. swaps always compromise a ideal vehicle specific geometry somewhere... this is NOT always about CG's and PMOI's.
i'd have seen in person a V8 ls1 swap in a FC in my friends shop machine tune in gardena ca., and although i complimented on his efforts, i still told him it was a waste of an FC.
the shop specializes in 240's and 240sx' swaps.... so obviously the car was naturally used for drifting, where fine balance of a vehicle isn't well looked into, only concerns were of raw power to induce oversteer...
nothing against the subie's bro, just not my cup of tea. hope you find a better foundation...
IMO, honda motor swaps tend to work in uniformity very well... but isn't unique as its been done a thousands of times over due to vtec. but thats not to blame because the car is staged to do so...

Best swap for the RX8 I personally think is the 13b-rew with single turbo. Talk to Robert from Rotary Shack, even though he is in Cali he can give you a good explanation why.
