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.
400 BHP - 650 KG\'s = 616 BHP Per Ton of Rotary Power

That\'s the way to do it! :Thumbsup!

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!!

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.
