ok if any 1 is going to use the beams engine mounts ,beware they tear very easily ,you are better to use 2 s engine mounts and brackets ,have had a few guys with std road cars up at track meets with broken weeping engine mounts

thats a pretty cool gearbox crossmember!

you'll find my thread in my sig.

Just so I get the right set-up. With brackets you mean the ones that bolt onto the engine right? The mounts obviously bolt onto the brackets but what about the crossmember?
Does this need a lot of modifications when using the 2s engine mounts?

[Celica RA45]

its the rubber engine mounts that are no good

[Bozu]

Yeah I get that but I was wondering which part you meant by brackets, but I'm assuming those are the ones that bolt on to the engine.

KE70, I'll check that out, thanks!

CRA45, I am not going to track my car, maybe a driftday here and there, but it will be 99.9% street use, do you think they will survive that?
If not which mount could I use that would not require any alteration to the subframes, because I'm kinda done with working on them hehehe.

sorry for late reply.

brad is steroidchickens. Has more pics on his build. we didnt modify our starters at all, used a plate to space out a 22r starter motor the right distance. Worked perfectly. His car has now been bought by someone who hasnt mentioned it here i dont believe, pm if you want their details, he may be able to confirm details and get better information for you.

Cough..* he he

How heavy is a 3s over a 4age?
The reason I ask is I'm considering what front spring rate to select.
Do you need to run a heavier spring or can we just go off all the info with ae86 running a 4 a?

[ke_70]

i don't think they're really that much heavier. somthing like 8kg?
