REW GSL-SE time
Now that I'm pretty much done with the 8 other than a some dyno time.
I'll be focusing on my 84 REW swapped GSL-SE build.

Pulled out the irons and housings for clean up and paint.
Just waiting on a couple of things to come in and then I'll be closing the engine up.

2,000 miles. That's keen. Out of interest, what mpg are you getting?

"Gonna change a couple of things here real soon". What have you got in mind?

That said, I should stop looking at your car and thread to protect me from lots of work changing my swap, particularly as you've had me thinking over putting it in a white car. IMO it's the best colour for an RX8, particularly on R3s, and it would solve my dilemma over wife killing me if I sell it when my swap is up and running). Alas, white cars are in short supply over here as Mazda only did them for the 40th Anniversary and the odd R3, about 1 in 60 of the cars sold here, and they attract a much higher road tax (£500/£$750 vs £280/$420 per year).

Actually it was a little over 2,600 miles to Deals Gap round trip.
We do lots of driving there
I was getting close to 20 mpg on the highway while cruising @ 75mph and alot worse when she's getting beat on.

I'd love to have white R3... one of my favorites.
