Have a look at an rx8 subframe.
Had a quick look and they seem to be thin on the ground at the moment, most on the bay don't come with diff or hubs. I have been trying to decide what to do with the gearbox, and RX8 6 speed is one I've been considering. Bloke on the RWD Zetec FB page does them with a adaptor and clutch conversion. If I went that route it would make the box/diff less complicated I suppose, but I want to keep it as straightforward as possible, which is why I went live axle.
Box wise, I do have a type 9 5 speed which needs a bellhousing, and a rebuild, so I could go that way, and that box is lighter, but the re-build would probably cost what I could get a converted RX8 for.
Any thoughts on that?
