    I cant find shit on this forum in terms of decent answers.

    It wont be using its standard engine, all i want to know is there steering products and adjustable arms out there for these off the shelf? Ive had a search haven't found much out there tbh all seems to be for rx7 stuff.
    anyone got anylinks to jz builds in these? want to know if all electrical items still work inside the cabin.

    thanks

    You can drift anything RWD.. The RX8 is a decent chassis.. Plenty of engine conversions have been done to them with great results. And plenary of chassis parts available.. Make steering parts if you cant buy them.. I like them:thumbs:

    As long as you're wiring isnt changed too drastically, everything in the cabin will work correctly, EXCEPT the rev counter, speedo, temp gauge, oil pressure light, charge light,

    fuel level, indicator lights etc will work fine,

    i havent tried it, but if you leave the renisis wiring fully intact, you should be able to put the renesis sensors into your converted engine, basically, the dash thinks there is a 13b in there, and its running a 13b ecu,

    it would be messy, and a bit more work,

    i couldnt be arsed and will be running a digi dash
