Since when were Rx8's worthless?

Track width is the same as the 4g prelude, you could get all the parts to convert a Lude to RWD and break the rest, they are even 5x114 too

Just need a proper engine

funnily enough i have had a fair few of these in my watch list recently thinking i need to learn more about rotary engines and start to buy a few knackered ones and repair. loads for sale for £750 around the 2005 mark and 50,000 miles with foofed engines.

Been looking into what engine swaps people have done to them just out of interest as that's a cheap RWD car let down by it's engine.

Can't help thinking I might see more of these being drifted if a cheap engine swap is found

Ammo, what ever happened to that Prelude with the Rx8 RWD conversion with the massive rear track? I'm sure you can find the thread faster than I can

EDIT: Ok, found it

Track was the same as the Lude he had just put on massive offset wheels

Page two doesn't seem to be working. Wonder if he's got any further with it? probably not if he's just working out it outside, what with the weather we've ben having.

Nah, 99.9% of rwd conversion never get completed, doubt that ever will

i was thinking of a rwd conversion before but its a lot of work for what could only ever be a road car, you can't get an msa logbook for a fresh rwd conversion anymore they have banned new builds and im sure i read a post of yours saying the car had to be rwd to start with for drifting so a worthless toy is all it would be. i also fancy a twin engine 4wd one but the ultimate is a twin front and twin rear bike engined one
