Starting with the v6, and ending with the"it passed emissions so there's nothing wrong". How many miles do you think you'd get before it dies? 100?

But it's got the rare V6 option!

Its cheap enough that it's worth a look. Ask for engine pics to see if the seller is a dipshit or it actually has a V6, and proceed from there.

It won't fail emitions. For emissions, you're on your own.

So Nice Price then? Just like I thought!

You should ask for detailed documentation and pics of the entire engine swap process

I got chills, twitched, sobbed, swore and blinked in a confused manner all in the ten seconds or so it took to read that God-awful string of words ad.

Should I ask him? I'd really like to know, even if being 600 kms away would prevent me from actually buying it.

Yes, and report back. You can't claim your RX8 has a V6 without posting pics!

I like that they are going 2 mph in the pic of the gauges.

I have never had to change the oil, because the light bulb telling me to do so burnt out, so there's nothing wrong with it.

Notice the legal cover he's cleverly using. Guarantees it won't fail "emitions", so when it does fail the emissions test, he can claim he never promised it would. Or something.

Probably the things top speed now. If you don't know you have a rotary, and haven't been adding oil like I heart those things need, I bet that it's toast.

Ok then. I'm on it.

Maybe he's got some hidden gem and is confused why nobody's calling for his super sweet 2jz swapped rx8. Wait, that's inline 6. What v6 could even fit that I'd want?

Maybe the V6 from a later Mazda 6?

I guess? Would it fit? I know people do LS swaps on rx7s but I don't know how much extra room there is under the hood of these.

Here's my guess: the rotary took a shit, like it does, and he swapped in a V6 from some other platform. He mentions that it'll pass emissions, because I'd guess he's living in an area that does smog checks, but doesn't inspect under the hood (or is lenient, as long as it passes).

I don't know for sure. I would think it should fit though, being two fewer cylinders in length.
Here's a guy's RX8 swap diary: http://www.rx8club.com/frankenstein-r…

Nissan's twin turbo V6 from the GTR?

OK, if that motor is in there for 4k I'm in, no questions asked.

Ok. I'm going to make a post on his response.
