rb8

picked an o5 rx8 bout a year ago got a after market bumper off eBay got the car sorted and on the road as my Mrs dally after a month or so a hot start problem started and she fell out with the car. i asked around to try find out what was wrong got so many bad reports about the renisiss i decided to do a engine swap i was gathering bits for an ae86 shell witch would be cut and shut with a 180 running a rb25det so i got to work striping the rx and Dummy fits the rb25 and box.
