Yeah black now, yep still in auckland, clutch is quite heavy not sure wheather its been changed, just had 2 basically replace the whole driveline, (diff, hanger bearing, universal etc) think the last guy that had it was pretty hard on it, the hanger bearing housing snapped and the mazda universal on the driveshaft was about to fall apart, all the needle rollers in the had fallen out and the whole driveshaft was slapping around in the gearbox tunnel.

Why underpowered? 12a bridgy will be a beast comparing to modest 150hp 2.0l M10 that would set me back $5k to build. There's quite a bit of weight reduction with a rotary making an 02 pretty much a 2002lbs.
All the weight's in the cast iron block......
Couldn't say really. The guy who built the car also built the motor so it wouldn't have cost a lot in labour, just parts. Decent motors can run anywhere between 4-10k depending on quality and what peripherals you have on it, ie wether it runs an IDA or 4 barrell etc

@evlrna Did the powersteer work? If so where was the pump mounted?

Its black now aye? Is it still in Auckland? Its got a series 2 rx7 gearbox with a 12a turbo clutch unless theyve changed it. Cheers.

Is there a write-up on how to perform the swap like that, i.e. driveshaft, tunnel modes, etc. ?
I am hoping to do the same to my 02' .

No there isnt. Its not a straight forward swap, bit involved in doing it. And will be different again on an 02. I dont know why youd underpower an 02 bmw with a 12a though.
