Flywheel fits all Gen 2, Gen 3 and RX-8 and to use the REW up against an RX-8 box you simply need the push type clutch from a TII or RX-8 because the Gen 3 has a pull type clutch.
Right off with my anorak and back to being on Holiday for a few days.
Hope this helps

It all just depends on push or pull to engage - FD is pull (which is the black sheep in the clutch world), 8 is push (more conventional).
So if you have an FD flywheel and clutch the flywheel can be used but the clutch will need to be changed to a push type (you can normally separate the flywheel and counterweight from the clutch assay unless it is a really funky system).

This is the clutch I have

Probably be able too swap it if necessary. Just thinking that if I need to put a new clutch in my car I will put something better in it if I can. Plus the flywheel probably be a lot lighter too

Had that engine a while now and it's still as good as when I got it, turns over by hand so easily and has great chugs and puffs as it intakes and exhausts. Rather have a pile of £20 noted though than the engine lol

That is a pull type clutch so can't go into the 8, you will need to measure the pitch of those stand-offs to see if you can make a push type fit on the flywheel... Does not look as modular as some so it might not be possible.
