mmm this is nice

[BP-Festiva]

So i found a wrecked capri xr2 in the junkyard and i knew i had to have the trans, I got the transmission, flywheel, starter, clutch, and intermediate shaft for $280, best of all it suposedly only had 130k miles on the clock. And with winter coming up i asked my mom if I could borrow a space in our detached two car garafe to work on it, and she said i could so i got the festiva in there and now i am going to be doing my aspire swap too.

That's pretty awesome, you going with FMS suspension? Shame you're not going to repaint, that'd be the perfect time!

Nice score !!! Did you get the tranny mount too ?

He'd need to make custom tranny mounts

Nice score though for sure!!

[BP-Festiva]

i got the front and rear tranny mounts,but like stated i cant use them and i have to custom make them. but the front is trashed, and i am going to try and use the top half of the capri mount to try and solid mount it to the crossmember, i am going to try and make all my mounts as solid as possible. I bought some 80A two stage urethane that i am going to use to fill the side engine and front trans mount. I may paint it if i can get a cover for my dads mustang that is parked to the right.

Solid mounts work nice but trust me, they cause a ton of vibration!!

[BP-Festiva]

I think I can live with that, ive got my lincoln for when i want a nice smooth ride. the festiva may be going turbo as well, if i can figure out what other turbos i can adapt to a stock gtx manifold other than a vj-20.

[Damkid]

I have solid mounts in my festiva and i said the same thing "i can live with it" and to be honest it's getting annoying listening to the vibrations it causes and i want to switch it back to rubber mounts

It is your car and you can mount it however you like (<--- that sounded dirty :lol, i'm just giving my opinion on it before you make your mounts

[eurotiva]

Rubber mounts rock!!...........Sweet deal on the tranny.

[BP-Festiva]

haha yeah i understand, but I may only solid mount my rear trans mount if i have to. The rest will be stock rubber mounts filled with shore 80A polyurethane so they will still have "some" give but not nearly as soft as stock rubber mounts.

[sasquatch]

anyone have a solid polly mount? i want to buy some and make them fit but im worried that they will be too stiff....

[BP-Festiva]

you may have to make some like so:

basically what i am going to do with my engine mount and front trans mount

You find all the best stuff. I'm jealous.

I just got lucky, I found this one in KRAP about a month ago and i went back for it last week and i thought it was scrapped because it wasnt where i had last seen it, and i asked one of the guys that worked there if he knew where it went, and he said if they moved it they scrapped it. So i was upset but i kept looking anyway and sure enough i found it in one of the back aisles and i went back for it the very next day so i wouldn't miss this chance again.

[big_ty2003]

I could spend 8 hrs in that place and not find what I am looking for, lol. I went there with my brother and walked around for like 2-3hrs looking for protege LX mirrors and only found one set that looked like some one beat with a tire iron.
You should go there with me before it snows, I need to get some stuff for my future bp install. I want to make sure that if they crush all the egt's I at least get the sensors and whatnot I need to install an engine I buy off the shelf at another yard. I figure with you experience and extra set of eyes maybe it won't take all day.
