Wait, what??? RX4 weights how much???  ???

I believe that you can get rx8 to weight around 1100kg quite easily. However, it needs mods so dunno if its road leagal then anymore ;) And if you want it to weight less than that, you need to mod it hard... ;)

I want to swap renesis on to e36 325 beemer. Why? Easy to get, cheap parts, lots of upgrades available and so on. And its a good car, great handling...

That yellow kit car looked nice. And that evo and skyline too ;)
Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

Told my dad that rx8s can be picked up for less than £600 and he agreed that an rx8 is by far the best idea, no need to do anything except drop the engine in. I could probably even use an rx8 gear box too so I don't have to get a new prop shaft!

Only technical bits is getting the brakes and steering to work without the ecu

At the risk of some ridicule at the "period clothing"  :-[ :) This was my first car: 850cc Austin Mini. But what year was the photo taken?

The picture was taken after some quick repairs following a slight bump into the rear of another car - those drum brakes were awful  :(

Bring back any memories for the "more mature" generation on the forum  ;)
