Been stuck at home, MX5 is almost out the body shop, should get it any day now. Finals are pretty much done, last one is one tuesday but I did all my crazy hard ones this week. So I had to some to work on the AE today.

Found a RatRod shop that had mandrel bent piping, lol seems like the Inland Empire has never heard of this, cause I had to go to 6 shops to find it, and no one else seemed to know what it even was lol!

Got some steel cut, and made my own frame spacers, with the help of my buddies better drill bits lol!

some pics of the motor mounts

trans mount

Installed the Megan Tension Rods, wow that FU*%ing bolt was one there crazy tight!!!

Old rusty nasty oem tensionrod

Sexy Beefy Megan Tension rod

Drilled a hole for the intercooler piping, and wrapped a old hose around it to make sure it wont cut the coupler.

The Hood would not close all the way even with my custom frame spacers, so I called the company that made the engine mounts, they said I may have to take some of the support frame of the hood.. kinda sucks... oh well.

TCS hood, I am gonna cut you!

Hood pretty much sits closed now....

Car coming alone... slow but steady.

thanks, I got a little update

To start AE86, and beer

got my hatch gas prop rods to work. I got the eastbear hatch second hand, and the P.O. had busted out the hatch bolts that where glassed into it. So I had to make longer brackets, still need to cut it down to size. But hey at least it works right now!

Started cutting out the trans tunnel for the S13 trans

Pulling the carpet out to, so I can angle grind the hole out, with our burning down the car!

Taadaa It fits!

Had to extend the throttle cable, I used my old MR2 turbo extra throttle cable, from the junction block.

Started with a piece of aluminum

Bracket made, now one more to go!

Adapter plate to hold the two throttle cables together

All done, throttle cable connected and feels nice!
