Rx8 driveline in an Rx3

Hey there,

I just had a friend contact me saying he had everything from an Rx8 but the body. He wanted to know if it's worth slapping it all into a rolling Rx3 that's up for grabs in town here.

What would felix do?

if he has lots of cash. sounds like if he had to ask the question means he couldnt do it in the first place.

The rear diff and suspension would be a lot of hard work but improve the RX3's handling a lot!

I dont think he is meaning switching chassis parts too.. Just the engine/tranny

Its been done on a Rx7 so why not on a rx3?

I'm torn. If it's a daily driver then yeah, sure... otherwise you could do so much better.
