apparently the rx8 box is also used in the s2000 and IS200, not sure if it\'s take the power from a modified fd?

I think a couple of the guys on here or used to be on here have run upwards of 500 bhp through the rx8 box (both FC and FD).

If it weren\'t for the lever issue, I\'d be fitting one when the block went back in. They\'re plentiful and cheap.
