Looks like a really nice swap.   Exhaust is really well done.

Nicely done, I would really like a swapped RX-8. I loved my RX-8, it was fun to drive and comfortable plus fit 4 people reasonable well. I would love to know how much they would do another swap for.

I've wanted to swap a RX8 for a while now, just have to get a customer to actually pull the trigger on it.  Kudos to them for putting a rotary crank trigger on the balancer and keeping the stock ECU though, we've done that with 2JZ's into newer Lexus's and it's pretty much the only way to keep the electronics happy.
