Wayne's boosted 8 project

[Mr Spiller]

Morning all
Thought I’d better start a project thread rather than keep adding to my “I’m new here thread “
So after two successful Greddy turbo conversions to my 8 it’s time for the next project ..
After reading Clive’s race car build thread I was inspired to lose the last bit of hair I have and copy it . So I’ll be selling the Greddy kit and replacing with an FD engine . I know it’s a lot of work but I’ll still have my standard engine car for Trackdays in the meantime .providing Trackdays go ahead due to the current pandemic .
I’ve been trolling for sale pages for the last few months and appear to have bought the basics to make a start , RX8 FD engine mount , engine , manifolds and a few other bits . First thing I’ll be doing is assembling all on the bench to see how it  bolts together and see what’s missing .
So if anyone has  any photos of a fully built up engine  with ancillaries on a bench please feel free to post them up . This will help me a lot as I don’t even know how it all bolts together yet .

I wish you well with your "new" project and know it will be a lot of work, but it will make an awsome road/track car

Wow, I have got to think the shank of the bolt is still in there acting like a dowel and that kept the calliper in place
