I basically welded them right to the frame rails of the car. There is a relatively large backing plate of 1/4" mild steel solid welded to the frame rail, then gussets made of 1/4" and 7ga mild steel holding the motor.

Compared to the stock mounts, this would probably hold a bridge.

Front Driver

Front Passenger

Back Driver. (you can see the backing plate in this pic)

Hmmm, who would have thought...

I hope the theory works well in practice.

Those "motor mounts" are going to blow a huge donkey cock in anything other than track use.

I hope you aren't planning on ever taking that thing on a public road that has a 1% chance of seeing anything remotely considered traffic.

I'm drunk, and figured I would let you know that I am praying for you tonight.

haha, what?

the rb is a VERY low vibration motor. plus, the mckinney mounts have very very little rubber on them and they didn't vibrate my rb26 240 AT ALL.

ctnewman · 05-15-2007, 06:28 AM

haha, sorry guys. picking the car up tonight. cage took a bit longer than expected. I'll post pics when it's back in my possession.

ctnewman · 05-15-2007, 08:00 PM

It's been a LONG time.

Got my radiator today. Custom built to my specs. 275 bucks.

Ninjabread · 05-15-2007, 08:02 PM

Show us the carrrr!

O3DigitalBath · 05-15-2007, 08:12 PM

who did you go through for the radiator?

and is that regular price or more of a hookup price?

it's a hookup at a local place. reg price would have been ~400.

I didn't pick it up tonight. I think for sure tomorrow.

ctnewman · 05-22-2007, 09:26 AM

Quick pics. Built the lower radiator supports, but a bad call on a bleeder screw location is going to require a minor change.

The cage needs to be changed. The door bars hit the shoulder bolsters on the seats and the harness bar needs to be moved back a bit, but Vito said he will make the changes for free.

Holla.

Slidin240Wayz · 05-22-2007, 10:03 AM

Very nice! I hope this is not going to be a drift car because you can't go through the firewall or past the rear strut towers.

nope
just a street car. ( i need to beat my buddies 650HP drag civic) :P

ctnewman · 06-04-2007, 09:14 AM

a short text update.

The cage has been fixed, both seat should fit now. That's a good thing. The car is now at the blasters. The are stripping off all the undercoating and any rust, then it's on to body work and paint. I hope to have all the body work and paint taken care of by the end of the month.

now something to make you cry:

That's it for now.

Justin Bernstein · 06-04-2007, 09:37 AM

The lips on my work wheels on the sti got damaged at a tire place the other day. not my week.

kouki_s14 · 06-04-2007, 03:11 PM

was it a hit and run or is the guy that hit you payin for it?
is the tire place payin for those damages?

Ninjabread · 06-04-2007, 04:13 PM

Damn that kid. He was driving a 240 at the Bing's meet in toronto and rear ended him. Where is there 6500$ worth of damage though? I see a bumper and diffuser and some paint?

Anyway, Newman, this was posted on a local forum. Thought it was funny.

slothonaleash · 06-04-2007, 04:30 PM
