How this idea? 20B + RX8 Transmission

We know that when you put a 20b in a seven you end up messing with your 50/50. If you want to keep that 50/50 have to move the motor back in to the firewall just a little bit. When you do this you obviously are also moving your transmission back so the shifter is now moved back also and in a uncomfortable spot and well who want to be uncomfortable when your driving. right?

So my idea is use a RX8 transmission, I was told it was about 6in shorter then seven trans. (correct me if i am wrong on this) that is about as far as you would need to pull the 20b in to the firewall to keep your 50/50? So in theory you can keep your 50/50, have the the shifter in the same comfortable spot and you have a 6 speed to play with to boot.

One more thing, anyone know if anyone has done a 20b-Renesis yet?

Hope you guys are having fun.
