Been scratching my head on why that driveshaft loop isn't center with the trans tunnel. Dug into the FSM and found that the trans tunnel is offset slightly to the passenger side. Looks like the frame needs to come back off again.

I knew it!! I didnt know it for sure, but it always felt that way based on the seating. It feels like the passanger is sitting slightly on the tunnel. At least you found out now, and not later on in the build.

Excellent work on the rear-end swap, looks great. I've been quietly lurking for awhile watching your work and it's pretty impressive. I hope to do something similar one day and take on a seriously big project like that.

....and I should have known this considering how many times I've had the seats in and out of the car, dealing with the RX8 seat swap, and the front passenger seat mount being up on the trans tunnel. Sheesh! Oh well, haha, I won't forget it now! Appreciate the kind words @WondrousBread !

Between work, kids, and my business, I've finally had time to work on the never-ending project again. The new rear frame is now burned in for good and the old rear frame has been removed. Removed the diff and stripped down all of the brackets on the 8.8.
