having a ten second miata is like coming out of the closet . people are surprised,but then you're still just gay.

"think i could put an rx8 dash in my 7. that would be awesome"


Putting a rx-8 dash into a FC is like your a ***. People are surprised, but then you're still just gay.

your exterior better have some awesome mods to compliment it.


Someone did FD interior to a vert, they did some work to make it fit, but it looked really good.

It's actually almost bolt in. The only part you have to do really custom is trim your door panels a little. Other than that, every other part is straight bolt in. Wiring will be another issue, though. They also sell rubber gaskets that Toyota puts on OEM kits for any gaps between the dash and windshield.

There's a writeup about it on the RX8 club. You should go there and check it out.

This from the "how do I get sleepy" kid? Swapping dashes is a task above most people's ability, but it doesn't make the RX-8 a horrible car. You really do come off as a kiddie.

Agreed, this thread stinks of people who are teasing the girl they wish they could go out with.

Nothing wrong with having a rotary you can take the family for a cruise in. I have driven a few RX8's, I felt that the car held it's own. BTW I don't own a RX8, but I bet my ***** family sedan could out preform your FC!

If anyone finds the link, post it up.

I figured a dash swap would be a huge job with lots of custom fabrication, but from what you guys are saying, it sounds like I overestimated it.
