I said this somewhere else but its worth repeating.
I am so sick of seeing V-8 engines and vette engines in RX-7's.
The people dropping in vette engines think there is no better engine. It really bums me out.
It makes me so happy to go to this shop and see all the cars recieving 20B's. 500RWHP very reliable without trying!! I will own a 20B FD one day that I promise. I have always wanted a pasta rocket but they are just too easy. Just like slapping a big honking V-8 into a RX-7 is too easy. Wow!! You have 500HP!! Good for you!! W/ an engine that big I WOULD HOPE SO.
Those 20B conversions that Pettit does are just too beutiful.

That 13B-REW in my car fell into may lap. After tallying up the cost of doing the swap a 20B could have been very possible.
I would rather have a 20B FD to compliment my FC.
Oh, and as far as knocking that car. Like I said its not really my taste. But remember its a show car. It was in Florida for HIN Miami. Thats why I dont bother w/ HIN its not my cup of tea. I would rather attend an track event.
