WOW! This got bashed on worse than my project did when I first proposed it to rx7club.com. MX6.COM loved it of course since Im essentially building a RWD mx6. I did it anyway and Im only a few weeks from finishing it. I have an 89GTU with a turbo Mx6 GT 2.2L in it. Once everything is in and running I will be building the 2.2L. The biggest problem Ive had is engine height. I think thats been fixed with the Turbo II hood and a sawzall though. If you need pictures or any help send me an im at osbornestyle and I will link you.

Yeah the Millenia-S has that sweet Miller Cycle supercharged engine putting out ~215ft-lbs torque.

The 929 is DEFINITLY a cruiser. Even though you think "why would I ever buy a 929" - it's a blast to drive. The comso luce version puts out 200ft-lbs torque and the 929-S puts out 210hp. Both have a sweet ride and good feedback from the road.

If you were looking to buy a luxury from 1991, then go for the 929 instead of the acura (less HP), lexus (too expensive), etc..

Fun car overall.

The 929 engine is nothing at all like the MX-6's engines!
