Cheers man, appreciate the compliments.
Werd, it was Super Street Mag that did the write up like three years ago I think? I enjoyed it, but need to get back in touch with them when the FC is finished with the next round od upgrades 
We've done the REW swap into an 8. We used the Excessive LIM, and adapted the stock TB to work and then used a piggyback. As far as the car knew, it was a renni in there. However, hit the throttle and you knew it clearly wasn't 
It was a hell of a project and certainly one that I wouldn't want to do again
Basically, someone needs to crack the CANBUS BS and find a way to interpret all the data and send it through the CAN to an ECU to control whatever engine is in there. Once that happens, alot of the problems will go away.
Way down the rd when my current renni gives it up I will not be rebuilding the renni. When that happens if someone still hasn't cracked the CAN BS, that's when I'll find someone who can. If CotyBilt can do it and make a 1998 Jeep communicate with a 2006 VW TDi with a little black box, someone, somewhere, can make the RX8 CAN work with a different ECU
