Someone should use 1/2 a brain and accually build a Renisis rx-8 drifter. All the other drift RX-8s are 13b powered, and I know I love the stout little Renisis, and I'd love to see what it could do with a healthy amount of boost and a good suspension setup.

It wouldnt have to bee that much more power to get the job done. It all comes down to the driver really. Look at the AE86s out there. They have all of maybe 5hp... and thats with the hamster running as hard as his little legs will carry him on his wheel underneath the hood.

So whats left to do? change colors on a product and claim its better then the others?
I could think of atleast 10 differant things I could make for the Rx8 off the top of my head.

Cry02man you should have just saved 8grand and bought the 20b engine then bought a used 04 rx8! I put my house on that your 240 would get killed and you would be asking but but but my wonderful piston engine is so godly at 2000 rpm's! w00hoo!

I like how ALL of that was accomplished in the span of 7 minutes. Thanking us for the welcomg, doing all the research on the rx8 and deciding to drop it, thus giving it back to the dealership, deciding to use a 240sx, and finding someone to give you one.
You did quite a lot there.
*sarcasm*
Why not just combine all your ramblings into a single post?
