Start the controversy. Imagine, if you will, the smooth torque of a VQ while driving your 8. Leave it stock except for intake and exhaust. Most people can't handle a 500hp monster. Everyone I know with a car like that usually has things like stock brakes and runs it into something. Imagine having no cats and being able to breathe behind your car while it runs. Imagine the gas mileage. Then realize you miss your rotary and all the noises it makes.

Updates on the LS2, how much power do you anticipate making with this thing?

shouldn't this be posted in your thread?

Mr_Pieper

I hope there is some part of this car's budget for tires and brakes. Don't be the guy that says, "Look how awesome and powerful my car is now! It does crazy burnouts! Here are pictures of it wrapped around a tree with those Corvette engine covers peeking out from under the hood."

Blackbriar2189

I hope ur between me and that tree if it ever happens. Do yourself a favor and shut up. No one gives a **** about putting rx8 doors on a gto or putting a friggin vq motor in an 8, both ideas are ridiculous.

Then again... maybe im being a hipocrit, lol

Mr_Pieper

Sorry if you are insulted. I liked your attitude about your project and decided to keep an eye on it. Just trying to liven things up a bit with the other stuff. Chill out a bit. I have seen too many people add a ton of power to a vehicle with no investment on anything else and immediately run it into something. Be careful out there.

hes a pro Mr Pieper, he doesnt need us internet guys pointing out some obvious things.
By the way the rx8 brakes will take anything he can throw at it other than the insane.

Blackbriar2189

This is not a ton of power. On top of that you are like the 20th person to tell me to be careful and you think you know what has already been done to the car. Do me a favor and just wait.

Chris shall be starting very, very soon....

BH-Factory

ok guys calm down lol. Im starting on the 8 and ill have pictures soon. this miata is about to start and go to the dyno and then we shall start the 8.

SubliminalPollution

Yea that basically covers it.

carrrnuttt

Blackbriar2189

BH-Factory

ok so i realized this big car show we are in is in two weeks. damn it! no more sleep for me and i will have the motor pulled and the ls set in with the trans and everything in two weeks. im also working with a media company to make a video of the build so i can show you guys some issues to over come and what to expect if you ever want to attempt the swap yourself.

Put that sucker in the car!

11 pages of bs for a single picture of an engine and tranny on a crate.

I think this swap is a neat idea, and am interested in seeing where this goes... but so far this is the worst build thread I have ever read. More pictures and info.
