so this is a project i've been talking about doing for a few years now. i recently went and bought 2black rx8 this month. one had the usual problems [non runner] while the other just needed a clutch. so i had the clutch replaced and immediately started using the car. i gotta say these rotary are alot of fun to drive.this was short live followed by a quick sale. which left me with the none runner but hopefully not for to long. ive acquired a ls4oo lexus from the scrap yard and manage to rip the complete engine ,box ecu and every other little bits i think i might need.
so now ive got the donor car and the replacement engine.
i went ahead and ordered an adapter plate to mate the 1uz engine to the RX8 box.this should be here by next week. whilst waiting on the plate to arrive from poland work shall commence on removing the battered rotary. ive been told i'll need a flywheel from a mr2 so ive located one and arrange to collect it in a few days.ive got my mate giving me a big helping hand on this one so i know its gonna be a great project .
