7g has more potential seeing how the usdm 4g63t and a lot of tis parts work. 8gs have rip and evo 4-8 engines, just more work needs to be done.

2g 5spd trannies work in 7gs, 3g 5spd trannies work in 8gs.

I guess its comes down to style, but if you ask me, id take a 7g over a 8g in a heartbeat https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif

the 7g is lighter than the 8g, the 7g trannies arent bad persay, but they do have a high failure , i had about 3 transmissions in my 7g, last and final one was a 2g eclipse Turbo transmission and that ran the best
