"Transversally mounted"

There are examples of rotary powered Elises, however, so someone has found a way to do this; it just depends on how much money, time, and effort you want to spend on a swap.} The aforementioned Lotus 7 uses a FR configuration, however, so this will not be a problem. With that car, it's more a matter of finding a way to mount the engine in the engine bay, but if an F20C and its transmission can fit in the car, I see no reason why a 13B-MSP wouldn't fit. Again, it all comes down to how much money, time, and effort you want to spend on the car.

Bro an RX8 and a lotus 7 are both longitudinally mounted FR (front engined - rear wheel drive) mounted and not "transversely" mounted as you would expect a FF(Front engined , front wheel drive) powertrain so you can just [not to point too fine a point on it ] **** right off with your Bullshit.
