| N/A 13b is a naturally aspirated rotary. Meaning no forced induction (Turbo/ Supercharger)
The 13b Renesis is the engine that came in the RX-8 when it was first produced. It's alot more technical than the older 13b engines.

| The more technical, the more that can go wrong, and thusly, all the more expensive to sort out. Senseless, as the Renesis is so complex because Mazda insisted on making a more fuel efficient rotary, which is an absolutely pointless task.
My dad and I rebuilt a 12A together when I was like 8 years old. Just a sign of how simple they are to put together. Modern engines in general are just so pointlessly complex, it boggles the mind. | |

| Exactly ^
I wouldn't touch a new engine unless I was a trained technician at a dealership, old engines are a breeze but technical is the way things are now.. | |

| Back to BNB build. I finally got paid after a long week of doing nothing and decided to buy a set of fresh white CR Kai's. Put them on as soon as I saw the package lol, I couldn't stand the look of my car lowered on stock wheels anymore. So here it is as of today! | |

18's.... It's cause the car doesn't have a kit.. probably why they seem big. | |

Maybe just fenders for now? You know, build it up piece by piece :] | |

| I'd like to replicate the BN Blister kit on this car. It'd look kinda weird with piece by piece lol. I also just got my new LSD for my FD. (I know it's free) | |

| Haha I know. Looks nuts though, I like the simple look.
No matter what car you have, a decent set of wheels can transform it. | |
