i may start making up rotary conversion crossmembers soon to suit gems, just need to know if it would be worth my time and if enuff people would be interested in buying them. im still trying to work out how much it would cost me to make em (in bulk) but id probably sell em for around $250 and that would include:
front crossmember and support plates
engine mounts
rear crossmember

other stuff like sumps etc. can be arranged and made up
cheers

sump needs to be fabricated and oil pickup, any rotor gearbox will fit, contary to what others might say the trans tunnel duznt need to be modified if you mount it like how i have mine. at first i had an auto but have since changed it to an rx5 5speed dog box. a gemi box wont fit without getting a bellhousing made up, waste of time and money as a proper rota box is way better. u will also need a tailshaft to be made up. if u r planing on fitting a turbo engine u will need an exhaust manifold made up to sit the turbo nice and high cause in the stock position it will hit the inner gaurds and steering box. apart from all that it would just be the ususal like wiring etc.
