Almost no effort to put the engine in... that was a great feeling!
I wanted to test fit and get everything good in the car before I paint the engine bay. Last thing I want to do is weld all holes shut and need to drill new ones.. or have to hammer the firewall or something...
Will you be selling the brackets separate (not a kit with rotors etc)? If you are serious about brackets for EVO Brembo 4 pistons, let me know information asap.
Its been awhile - Super busy... but stuff it starting to come together.
I got my -12an fitting welded to my oil pan, resealed that. A new-to-me 89+ subframe + poly mounts was installed. Feramic 6 puck solid disk + 2100lbs pressure plate on a steel flywheel was put on. I heat wrapped the...
Does anyone have pictures of them mounted on the backside besides the page 3 OP picture?? Im just having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that these calipers really do just "bolt on" to the MK3 hub. Amazing.
Haha... well not much to take pictures of. Its been a lot of loose ends... starting to tie up.
First off, the subframe is mounted in... got most of the bushings done (traction arm isnt complete in the following picture..). I had to buy new eccentric cam bolts for the arms. Very pricey, but it...
Been awhile since I updated... new job = less time to work.. but it is what it is. Anyways, some pics over the last few weeks...

More completed. Not sure I how I like the WG location... its the only way I can really get it to fit, but...
Passnger side... Its a little weird because I had to relocate the mount stand on the subframe... But its strong as hell.
Driver Side is complete... No bushings on it and the subframe side is not in the pics.. but this is the part that goes to the engine.
Adjusted the vband and collector to...
Some more pics of some goodies... no progress since last post... waiting on some bolts int he mail for the subframe.
However...
My shaved water bridges... kept the original temp sensor (now wishing I relocated it but whatever) and the rear bridge has the spot for the coolant sensor for the...
Alright, so my buddy sent over a pic of my modified oil filter housing.. basically machined it down to the base and welded 2 -10an fittings to it... First set in my oil system...
So I looked at how much room I have..... and I have none! So I had to cut and modify my driver side manifold to...
Okay, this was a whole lot of WTF... but the front subframe started to seperate? lol no idea, but when you bang the subframe again, the 2 stamped steel pieces move between each other, so I clamped them back together and welded them together... I guess I will do more on the subframe to strengthen...
Alright so I test fit the engine with the modified frame rails... besides needing to modify the engine mounts again, it all fits... So I started to do the welding. May not look like a lot... but trust me... it was no such thing.
