Motor mounts In and Christmas Gifts!

Got the motor mounts in the other day and finally I can take the rope that was holding the engine up from falling over. It sits a bit lower now too. Also picked up a 5-speed from a friend of mine so thats sitting in the garage now waiting for a new clutch which I should have next week. Also was thinking that I was going make this into full track car and strip it fully. Also with Christmas money I'm hoping to get the Stance GR+ coilovers for the car as well. Here are some pictures of the mounts on the car.

Now for Christmas Santa brought me a tool cart and tool box as well as some ratcheting wrenches to go with them. So I built the cart and moved it to the garage to get all my tools organized.

Looks like I will have enough after Christmas to get the coilovers so I will be putting them on order next week!
Merry Christmas everyone!

Motor mounts!

Made my motor mounts today out of hockey pucks and grade 8 hardware. Used a drill press a neighbor gave to me for free. Was super easy and took no time.

Shedding some more weight!

So this afternoon I removed the power steering pump and the air conditioning pump. They all added up to be around 28lbs! Thats about it for now, I ordered some hockey pucks to make new motor mounts. I'll update on that later.

New wheels and engine!!

Well this weekend was hectic with getting front wheels for the FC and selling the Rota's. Then getting the rear wheels and getting the motor put in.

So Saturday I went and picked up the motor with a friend and brought it into the garage for the night. Later that night I sold the Rota's which paid for the Rear Grenade GX-01's 18x9 +20. Sunday I went up to West Covina to pick up the Grenades for the rear. Then when I got back my dad, a friend and me just put the motor in and tied it up so it wouldn't fall foreword as the motor mounts had broken. that was about it for this weekend should get some more progress now on getting the motor all cleaned up and wired.

 Bye bye Rota's you wont be missed

 And it is in!!

 These are the rears I picked up before putting the motor in.

This is how it sits now looking like a car!

New Wheels Getting rid of the Rota's

So went and picked up two Grenade GX-01's with the money i got from the Ls1. They are 17x9 +15 and have some Federal 595's on them which have a ton of life on them. I also sourced two 18x9 +20 Grenades for sale so I plan to pick those up on Sunday once my Evo wheels are sold. They also have some tires on them so that will same me some money I was going to have to use if I were to go with the RPF1's. Next post I should have the rear wheels on the car.

Also because I have these wheels now, the Rota's are for sale! So if anyone wants them I am asking $350 OBO. They are 17x8.5 +20 all around.

Here is one of the Rota D2's
