It should be pretty baller. Motor has a mild street build.

The amount of vacant space is silly compared to how full the bay is new.

Lighter than stock. But the car's not drivable quite yet, so it's not been weighed. Though the powertrain is in and ready.
Yup.
This is an NC, and while I'm sure you can swap the renesis into an older tub, we won't be offering it as a kit. Where the NC swap we're expecting to have a kit on the market at around $10k to include all necessary parts (yes, including the motor).
Yup.
you know... if this thing works out, ill sell my turbo and bp and get one of these sexy things installed in my car!

Probably also retrofit the RX8 instrument cluster into the NC's dash. Should be pretty sick.

awesome concept, only thing is, the renesis motor is garbage, if it was any good at holding boost rx-8 owners wouldn't swtich it out for the 13b-tt... just go get a 20b and call it a day.

Man, that engine bay is so empty, it looks like someone stole the engine. Lighter weight, around 200HP at the wheels, 9500RPM redline, and better weight distribution - that should be a fun car!
