Hate to sound negative, but I'm guessing the kit will be VERY expensive at its initial release. The S14 kit is still fairly expensive, whereas the FC is pocket change. I realize the R&D is expensive, but I'll be waiting til it's cheaper myself.

hell I would do the swap if I could find a salvage titled RX8 for cheap that was still in great shape so it was dirt cheap to start with... because I dont think for $15k that the RX8 is a good candidate for a swap... unless you completely love the RX8 exterior, which I do not, it hasnt grown on me yet and I bet theyre almost ready to be remodeled since theyre been out for years now.

it would be awesome, and have 4 seats and nimbleness, but man, I think it would be a lot of work and I dont want to be a pioneer on that chassis, there isnt any real demand for that swap, probably why Hinson hasnt even bothered. I guess an LS1/2 would be the best $4000 you could spend on an RX8 in upgrades

re: flooding - wow, my 1988 RX-7 TII had these issues which were 'fixed' with a fuel pump kill switch. I am wondering if the same can be done to a rx-8 model. Lack of torque was partially another reason I sold mine.
