I can get you an RX-8 gauge cluster if you like. I've got access to a Grand AM Cup racing team with lots of stock parts if you need something.

I like the chassis. The wheels and flares are very nice and the stance of the car is aggresive and functional. The Renisis engine swap just doesn't do it for me. It's just not enough power.....

I will stick with the setup I am building.

Look around, I have seen RX-9 pictures in another thread. IIRC the RX-9 was an older Luce, I forget the year. The cluster would probably look similar to the other Mazda sedans of similar vintage.

Not really. It was some weird idea of Ford's to use the Rx label on a car with no rotary in it.

I plan to do this swap in a few years (or when my stock original 12a dies). You can get any engine at a reasonable price. It's all in who you know.

I can't believe I've never posted in this thread before. I'd really love to see a Renesis powered SA/FB in person.

Back from the dead... again!
