God, I can\'t wait to pick her up !!! :Tongue1 :rollin :driving
Any idea of likely power output with the above engine mods ?
Just be sure to get a 99-spec undertray to go with the bumper. I seem to remember it\'s different and is necessary for airflow to the radiator? Clive will know!
Also personally I\'d go for the 99-spec rear lights over the RX8 style, they\'re just nicer :) The Defi gauges are excellent though!
it looks like an excellent example, so much so it seems a shame to add all the go faster bits! especially at the price its advertised at plus what you must have spent on all the bits.
I would have thought that you would have bought one already modified with a new engine.
Tried to find something I liked, but there were a few factors influencing me, one of which was the look and the other the condition of the car with the mileage. I haven\'t owned a Rex before so I wanted to make sure I was going to be happy, plus I enjoy the aspect of speccing to my own requirements.
I know I\'ll never get the money back for the mods, but then I wouldn\'t expect to, and intend to keep the car for a long time.
Thats a very clean example indeed!!:Thumbs-up
The AD9 bonnet is one of my favorites. Will be cool to see the car at one of the meets up here!!

can i ask where are you are getting the 99 spec bumper from and how much?
Thanks
Bought it from Miguel at Newera. It\'s a used example, so paid £250 for it. Thankfully don\'t have to paint as it\'s already in silver to match the car it\'s going on.
