I would like that in my car, I can see myself getting into a lot of trouble though

[Damkid]

I wander where you got that idea :lol: Looking great!! :thumbright:

[sasquatch]

^ more like where did YOU get the idea lol....

greg, get the vid up quick!!! i have been dying to see a vid of your car with the new setup

[sasquatch]

ok i spent the other day working on the car... what a PITA this thing is... the mounts are a ***** no pics bu it hasnt changed much... im not gonna use the mounts i made for the b6t, long story short, they just wont work... so im gonna use stock mounts lol.... i wish i had just bought a megasquirt kit lol... it would have been MUCH easier

[91blufestiva]

So do you wanna sell the mounts you made for the b6t?

Sorry to hear you're having troubles..

[sasquatch]

^ if i did, some assembly would be required lol... i hacked them up today and made some new ones now the motor fits like a glove i ended up putting a solid mount on the front cause i couldnt fit a rubber mount in there cause i put the motor about 1/2 maybe 3/4 of an inch forward so i wouldnt have it hitting the steering rack and i have the aspire sway bar that takes up alot of room in the spot where the mount goes, and that made the front one to tight to fit a rubber mount in there if its to anoying to drive with ill flip the sway bar and make a proper mount....

pics comming tomorow night (if i remember my camera)

stay tuned
