Hello 86DC.com...

Its been a VERY long time since I have actually got onto the forums or posted on here....



Well I got motivated....well in to the shed on the weekend.. and started to make way in me 86 for its new engine.. which had been sitting for almost a year.


here's a link to what she used to be...




I have since bought one of these.....



(not this exact one) but you get the idea... Series 7 FD half cut.

When i started to pull it appart i found some mad goodies....

It came with a Series 5 FC gearbox.. not a 6 speed.. YEE HA..

anyhoo.. found myself in the shed yesterday.. i have decided to mod the FD X-member.. and use that as part of the engine mount process...

So far... I have chopped out my trans tunnell.. chopped out my 4agze engine mounts off the stock x- member

and started modding up the fd engine mounts.. so far its looking like this... (forgive my imageshak- whackness) ill get better...
