Looking at the pics, it looks as though there is enough room for a second engine!
Maybe even a 4 rotor?

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Why not just spend about $25k and buy a used RX8?
I am sure you can pick one up for less than the cost of a conversion + NA/NB donor car.

Regardless of whether I would do this myself, thanks for posting up the end result and for doing the conversion.
Hopefully it works out for you on the business side.

You have recalled the past "lukearama", that was a long time ago!. what is your real name and how do you know me ????
Dan, you are quick on the replies but thats ok!. ( It will probably be Easter time before I reply otherwise!

Looks like you have everything happening at your new shop! And I like all your new toys (cars)!
I may see you on Sunday at the show if I get the chance!

Re: 13b renesis conversions available soon
Hey, do you have any pictures of how you mounted the engine and gearbox? At least from the NA conversions I have seen most have chopped up the stock subframe pretty extensively and used a modified oil pan but it looks like you may have been able to fit it in with engine mounts alone. I take it the NB has a taller transmission tunnel? Your swap looks really clean.
