I was looking into newer, low mileage Scion XB's as well so probably gonna go that route.

I'm about to buy one for the family, watch out for the 08-09's with the oil consumption issues.

A bit of a weird question, but that looks like it is set-up for 2+2seats, was that an option on fd's? I've only seen two seaters here in America. I used to have an fc with the 2+2 and liked it and now that I have growing kids a 2+2 fd could really fit the bill.

Yeah, I owned an FC with them and they turned it into a useful 3 seater if the passengers were modest size although I nearly broke my brothers neck going over a bump once. Living in the states I'd never seen an FD with them but after looking at more pics it looks like Pomp is right, if my daughter was behind me and my son behind my wife it might work for a little while but not long. I guess maybe a 1-series BMW is in my future. :sigh:

I got no ideas for thread names but thanks for posting, you give me hope that I'll be able to put my interior back together with only a few broken tabs.

Some silly navel-gazing: I'm sure the bolt pattern and passages are asymmetrical but if it happens to be symmetrical you could bolt 2 MG2s back to back and drive one in reverse, gut the spare gearset and put a block off plate over it. Otherwise maybe make an adapter that is wide enough for a center diff to fit in and run 4wd albeit with 2 transmissions that need to be kept in sync(obviously a silly idea in an rx7).

Maybe the cam position sensor uses a Gray code encoder?
