CA I miss driving my FD.. But...

I got my car in a magazine here in Japan. It's basically a quick feature in one of the major car classifieds.

My custom engine mount bracket is as permanent as the STARXQUEST and I shall live.. I have successfully mated the FD rotary engine to my 89 STARQUEST chassis car for life, I can even fit a 20B in there in the future if wanted.. The Rx8 engine fit MUCH easier in there, the 8's motor mount brackets sat right on top 2 of the holes of the side beams in the engine bay, the FD was much more difficult to engineer in there... Glad I inspired some one or a few ..... I acquired the FD engine in November, drove to Hawkinsville GA to pick it up in my friend's minivan with tranny attached lol.. Been working on it since gathering all the parts I need mostly aftermarket to fire it up in the proper state.. Sold the Rx8 engine and parts and paid for most of the FD engine, still got the 6 speed RX8 tranny in, LSD, carbon fiber driveshaft all from the 8 but now has the turbo FD powerplant, should be all done with it in a couple weeks, currently working on getting the turbo manifold and downpipe ready, I'll post up pics of the finished product then, everyone can keep track of the project thru my signature link to the STARXQUEST PROJECT. I have the AUTO TRANNY from this engine I am trying to sell on Ebay and Craigslist if ANYONE is in need of one let me know, I tried to post it up for sale in this forum but after a few attempts to post it and not work I gave up.. The engine has 10,000 miles as stated in the ebay auction I purchased it from, had been stored / stashed since 94 and never used, had been oiled thru plastic spark plug plugs thoroughly, spins freely, sounds good on the compression strokes and I cannot wait to fire it up..

Finally finished the donwpipe and this is how it is currently sitting.. Also made the top mount torque bar, since my custom motor mount bracket design only grabs the engine from underneath, this bar will prevent the engine from going side to side. (Altho it is already very sturdy without it.)

Thats good, for a while the police would sit over there and wait at night. You have a LSD in that thing?
