For anyone considering an RX-8 purchase from Rupert in Australia. I
picked up mine last Wednesday and the actual costs were:

          Engine  $2100.00
         Shipping  $128.00
Customs / paperwork  $55.00
----------------------------
      Total cost  $2283.00

The engine shipped from Australia Feb. 26 and arrived in Grand
Rapids, Michigan April 10. The outside looks brand new. The only
parts I have noticed missing are the exhaust manifold and bell
housing which are of no use to me anyway. This is actually the first
"live" rotary engine I have ever seen. It is unbelievably small!! I
can't wait to get started on it. This is almost as exciting as the
day I got married :))

Randy, is that a four port or six port? In other
words is it a flywheel or a auto TX flex plate? Some have trouble
telling the difference if the intake manifold is still
bolted on.
