Is anyone familiar with the RX-8 Motor? I was considering it for a swap.
Anyone know if the bolt pattern is the same as older rotary motors? It seems like it would be fun engine in the 914. |

So how fuel efficient are we talking?
My buddy had a turbo II and it got great mileage--13 mpg. I though I was going to throw up. Great performance, but I was looking for the gas pouring through his engine, and that wallet that was always empty LOL Then he blew his apex seal and lost $1000 in the car, selling it as-is. Whatever |
