Undertaker_is_the_best Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 F@$k yeah thats coming along quite well looking forward to reading more and espcially when the motor gets dropped in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benno Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Yesterday I fitted up the tierod adapters then rolled it forward and dropped the engine in for a dummy fit, not to much difficulty cos of the crossmember. though i did try using RB30 mounts as i hate the layered SR20 mounts, but they are to short. the engine only has 6mm clearance to the xmember and the mounts sag cos they don't sit on the rb mount, rather suspended between them. So i need to find semisolid/urethane mounts that are about 10-15mm higher than the RB30 mounts(I'm thinking escort or cortina mounts) anyway...pics up.

Benno Posted December 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 yeah, don't know how different they are, but mines sitting pretty average right now, need to get the motor a bit higher or I'll be eating ripple strips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benno Posted January 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Figured the engine mounts, factory Sr mount arn't straight up and down(stud to stud) they have a bit of an angle to them, so I've got to get some new mounts(They're ouch on the wallet at $220 each), So to all the clowns on NS who say they run RB mounts.....BS. Not much done on the car in the last month (christmas and spending money on other shit), Been doing a bit more measurements/calculations and research, and picked up a few cars to buy and sell to help boost up the Mongrel fund. I'll do a full update on the weekend :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
