I'm practically throwing a firecracker in a special ed class by asking this, oh well.
So when I was starting out as mechanic apprentice I fell for the rotary meme. I love the way that the rx8 looks and feels to drive, but I just can't justify the abusrd amount of money I've spent on keeping the motor alive for no real benefit.
So my question to you guys would be what would you swap, and why?

Swap the rx8 for another car.
Just keep being a random lol xd.
Also,fuck you.

This.
As an FC owner, if you're wasting an absurd amount of money "Keeping the motor alive", then it's already fucking dead to begin with. Do a rebuild on it and take care of it properly, or get a different car.
Doing a swap is going to change the way it feels to drive anyways, dummy.
Toyota V6,
Good power to weight
Cheap and easy to find
Short
Might be a hard to fit height wise though.
You'd be better off rebuilding your motor with some light but smart porting and premix or omp with 2 stroke from the get go. It will be cheaper and easier

LS3. Strictly better than ls1, but still the same high performance, basic to maintain, Chevy v8

Thanks for the pointers, appreciated :)
I probably should have mentioned that I have rebuilt the renesis before. It's insanely expensive to buy parts here in kangarooland (aftermarket and oem) For almost the same price I could put another motor with far greater benefits, auto elec quote included.

Thats what you get for buying a hairdressers car anon, should've bought a PP 808 or something
buy a different car, engine swap will ruin it and rx8 doesn't look that great to keep it after ruining her
either live with braap or get something else like a 3k civic
RX8
Get rid of it.
I wanted one until I found out why there's so few of them on the road, they're mechanical disasters as far as my view goes.

they are not tho
change the starter and ignition plugs, feed her oil and it will run for years

K Honda swaps and SR20 swaps in RX8s are a thing and fit nicely without upsetting the weight balance and steering geometry
1JZ swaps are done on these as well, but you need a kit for the steering geometry and the weight balance is offset so the battery has to be moved rearward

>feed her oil and it will run for years
Approximately two years, to be specific.
Rotards will refuse to admit that their fidget spinner engines are shit, so just do an Ls swap and be done with it.
>>17623335
no.
>>17623350
Yes. Go rebuild your trash engine for the umpteenth time.
>>17623358
