  • this setup is currently in my 82 rally car. I should go over some of the things that "came up" while i was doing it and considerations to overcome. Nothing is too outlandish and there are more than one way to accomplish the goal.

    I used the FC steering column, which since the subframe is farther forward, means the steering wheel too was farther forward. You can either use a steering spacer, an NRG type hub or in my case a steering quicker at the other end.

  • I wish you had used a Steel plate with washers on top, I think they will give you stronger mounting points, Did you clean the zinc plating off the washers before welding them?

  • @junpower010 yea i grinded off the coating. as for the plate, since the forces would be translated mostly in shear, i figure the washer would be fine. If it proves an issues, ill redo it later. Only rally will tell.

  • Dude what happen to more video blg

  • The FC subframe is not flat across the front and rear mounts, you should have used a .6 inch spacer between the frame and the rear subframe mount

  • @TJcars2

    that is correct. As for my transmission, i have to verify if the stock one will work. i plan on running a T5 behind it in time, but will use the M type mazda transmission in the mean time

  • @TJcars2 Also, you use the FC engine mounts in their stock location right?

  • With the FC crossmember are you still able to use the stock transmission mount/crossmember?
