I picked it up quite a few years ago; back when all you had to do was ask for one, and someone would have an engine for sale. Paid $1500 for it. My plan was to put it in the FC Cabriolet body, but who knows what I'll do with it now. But yeah, if I need an engine for the '8, and start the swap, I'll definitely post about it here.
Bah don't put it in a convertable! FC is a great car, but if you put all that power in that car, your hair will constantly be standing on end!

Welcome to Injector and Lady Shinka!
Injector, if you really want a twin-turbo 20B FC convertible, I think George Samuels still has his RXX-7 (that is not a typo) for sale. He's done all the hard work and had it for a number of years.
As for doing it yourself, here's what he has to say:

"I can't, in good conscience, recommend this path to anyone. It's a lot of money, time and effort. The results are marvelous, but it's way past the level of insanity that is the norm even for this group." 
His current daily driver is a 390 WHP 1979 RX-7...

RX-8 Sale
Hey all,
I have to sell my RX-8 because the military is sending me overseas and I cannot financially justify making the car payment while I'm gone. Any suggestions on sites or people to help market the car?
It's an Aurora Blue Mica 2010 RX-8 R-3 (also referred to as an RX-8 R-tuned) with 20k miles, 6-spd manual, Bilstein shock absorbers, Recaro racing seats... well-kept, in great running condition... I have no problems with the car, just need to sell it within the next 6-7 months.

Heya Jay... not too much here. I think I may still have a coolant leak somewhere, because I'm still smelling anti-freeze after getting out of the car. Plus the level seems to be a little lower since I last filled it.
I contacted Samco before Christmas about that one hose that wouldn't fit, and they asked me to send more info about it. They were closing for the Holidays, so I didn't get to it. But I've been meaning to contact them.

Hey all,
Although I did not participate that much in this forum, it was great meeting some of you our there. I am sad to depart from the RX8 family. I just got a 2011 Sedan Subaru WRX. It is a different ride, but it is still a fun drive. However, I will def miss the Rx8 handling and the 9K redline.. Attached is a pic of my car.... I'll still hang around here just to check what's going on from time to time....
Well all laters..
