New Member - Putting Together REW swap for rx8

Hey guys,

So to get my post count up, I have always been around rx7 club to gain knowledge for the REW. I bought a block a few years ago that was blown on the rear rotor. I tore the engine down, but found that the rear housing and rotor were toasted. So I am finally done with college and bought a house, and my next project is to get this block built back up by the end of the year so I can start mocking up and fabbing additional parts for my build.

Cannot wait to begin getting parts ordered and getting help from the community

Caution! that build will cost a lot more than just buying a fd shell and dropping in your motor. it's not worth the money. i came from the rx8 turbo world and had a built renny turbo against better judgement and watched another member in my area spend countless money and stress on his REW swap. We both came out with major losses......
find an FD shell. ....even when completed your car will still live in the shadows of a bone stock FD.
