filter

I thought I'd cut a hole in the hood, no its just there to keep debris out of the motor, I'll find the shorty k&n. Good eye Wacky, soon I'll need to use your brain---MadChad.

Here is the engine bracket that came with the engine, this one is 1 3/8 away from motor mounts aligning. Now does anybody know what this one is from and know which one I need to put a 13b into a rx3? there is one out there that just needs to be drilled.
I have a gsl-se 5 speed in the car with the stock drive shaft, the tranny mounts line up fine, if at all I'd like not to shorten the drive shaft---MadChad

I drilled the crossmember on my car and used the stock engine bar to fit my 13B. New holes go 19mm forward. I also trimmed the motor mount fender washers into a D shape. Works fine.

Hey Chad things are looking good. I hope you are enjoying the car. I am glad to see that someone with some motivation ended up with it. If I still had it it would probably look the same. I am sure by now it would be very fast and much to the disapointment of many it probably wouldn't have a rotary in it but it wouldn't look any different. GOOD WORK !!! Mike.

Mike glad to see your still out there!
I have been working on some parts that I'll post later. Its taking longer than I thought due to the need for a new job and the schooling, my enthuism for the car hasn't changed and I'm looking forward to driving it to work.
I hope things are looking good for you!---MadChad.
