Looking forward to seeing more pics. What ecu are using - if you are using the original and need help get in touch.

the piccie of the upturned block looks interesting- the internals look very dark brown (it could just be the light of course)

how many miles on that engine? its either done loads, or not had many oil changes

We will be running an emu ecu but thank you very much for the offer
And it was the lighting the picture it's only got 16000 miles and Craig said its one of the cleanest second hand units he has seen

Perfect donor car for these engines... so many good bodies being scrapped needlessly

As a fellow RX-8 owner, I welcome you!



Not a fan of LS convertions though! Give me a wankel any day! Though I do appreciate the work that goes into it!

Also, those Rotas

Since I was last on there has been a lot of work done by dynotorque the engine and box are now in on all there own mounts a prop has been fitted all the brakes are fitted and bled up

The new steering rack ends have been fitted, exhaust headers have been fitted , radiator mounted and some of the pipe work done ! It looks a tight fit and all the engineering work that dynotorque has been doing so far is of an excellent quality

[S90ttb]

And nod is now working on the wiring !!!!!!

[Butter Face]

Awesome!!

[TheDoggingFather]

That looks a bloody good fit.

[pigeonskirt]

So much want! What a great car that will be when completed!

[S90ttb]

Car is now 99% done just awaiting some programming data for the power steering and dash to work but should all be finished before Christmas,

[S90ttb]

Forgot to show you some pictures of the exhaust Craig done on it

Will be interested to hear your first impressions!

Nice work there.

Spotted Lyndons Passat in the background too. He did say he's been doing some work over at Dynotorque.

Fantastic

I'm on my first V8 and I love it

I have had a short drive in it on Saturday but due to the damp/cold roads it would just spin up on slight acceleration but the rest of the car felt amazing! And the work done at dynotourque looks almost factory, so it's off to the body shop next for a repaint
