So the acutal capacity is 1.3ltr?
650cc per rotor?

But insurance companies / car sales will class it as 2.6 even though its not

What about the rex8?

Cheers dude

no, it's 650cc per rotor so 1.3 overall.
insurance companies class it as a 2.6 becuase of the actual power and how quick the car is, they relate it to a 2.6

if your thinking about getting one , i just come accross this on the UK owners forum.

There are still only about 700 FDs in the country

There were only 128 UK spec cars.

from the guy who runs it.

so what ever jap car you get it will be more popular than da rex
