>>if you do eliminate the PPF i suggest your run an engine torque brace.

yup, the race car always had it and I made much stiffer motor mounts, also has derlin diff bushings.


>>while there are a number of ways to get it done, i favor retaining and modding the PPF. it may be initially more difficult but better in the long run. i would also add a Banzai rear brace to help the PPF.


great minds think alike :-) my buddy Chad is helping me with the mounting issues and that was exaclty what we are thinking, but i wanted a backup plan if the PPF dosnt work out. My initial though is that if it fits in there wiht the t5 and we can make a bracket to attach to the t5, then welll go with that. I will know on the weekend when we get deep into it.

i think our biggest hurdle is that the t5 does not have a real nice mounting point in the back for a ppf adapter type bracket to connect to.
