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



Wow, how did you get the freight/customs billing so low?
Have any pictures?

I had absolutely nothing to do with the amounts charged for shipping
and customs. I do not know if Rupert had a choice when he shipped it
or not. I will try to post some pictures tomorrow.

Paul,
 Thank you for the pictures of the cooling system. That does look
much better than a P-51 style. I will get the firewall dimensions off
to you ASAP.
Thank you,
Randy

OK Randy. I think it is best for your application.
It is plenty of work installing a rotary without
adding a bunch of structural changes to the aircraft
and fabricating a lot of composite duct work unless
entirely necessary. This will get you in the air quicker.
