If this piece is taped to the outer part of that vertical piece, my RX-3s dont have them.

yeah i already explaned but for you...
i had to trim about 1.5 inches around the back side if the stock shifter hole in the tunnel. everything else besides the mounts were stright foward. I used a t2 flywheel and clutch. i had a drive shaft custom made.

a few updates
i havent posted in a while but here is a few little things im working on. I had all new door panels made. I replaced the front sway bar with a thick 1 1/8 one with all new greeseable bushings. I replaced the engine mount with the rotary works unit(bling Bling) looks really nice although i did have to do some mods to make it work. I replaced the shocks and struts with Koni special D's. I picked up a couple dump style mufflers to try out as well.
