RX-8 LS1/T56

Now that my lsx fd project is done it's time for a new project. 

Found a clean RX8 with blown engine:

Gotta love the teeth on the front grill. Previously girl owned car.  And yes that's my rotary rx7.

I purchased a ls1/t56 full pullout from a 2000 ws6 with just over 50k miles. Pics to come.

Placed an order with Hinson for basically his full setup.   It's been a very expensive week.

Subbing!

Mind if I ask what you gave for the 8?
