I dunno. Lol. It's a future project so could be a bigger budget if I have more money.

The aim is to get something that can have an engine thrown in and
Drive it

I know! It's just the weight as wants something small and light, don't need silly power then to make it a quick drag car:) the rx8 electronics seem tricky too as would have to run 2 systems. One for the car and it's gizmos and the standalone

I would need a 3.9 diff with a turbo motor as the standard diff is a bit too short for turbo power. IMO. Great for NA though
