    RX-8 engine swap to MS3 engine-- Idea for a project

    any well-built FS with a full stand-alone set-up would be a good way to go. with DISI, the engine management options are limited right now. the cost would also be doubled, if not more. the driveshaft is the only thing that you will have to worry about in this case, not axles. a good trans shop...

    RX-8 engine swap to MS3 engine-- Idea for a project

    gauging interest, trade off for stock parts

    yeah, it will be going back to stock performance wise. I will still be keeping the appearance mods and I will still be doing electronics, etc. the car will be getting passed down to my step daughter in another year, so I am just prepping it a little.

    I'm moving to houston this summer

    70 is too hot for the heater in my house. i like 68 when it's heating and 70 when it's cooling. that does put my electric bill at 200 or so in the summer, but i pay the bill to be comfortable. the main thing about the cold here is the humidity. 60 degrees is jacket weather here. everywhere...
