    Default Moving the motor back

    So have a ke70 was a 4k motor so still have that cross member in there
    Haven't looked into it really yet to see the difference to a 4a cross member

    But question is has anyone moved there 4age motor back and lower anything along those line before I just get 4a cross member or modify mine I already have cheers

    Cusco engine mounts sit the motor a little lower and are stronger than factory mounts. Though there isn't allot of clearance between the water outlets and the firewall anyway with an ae71 xmember.

    keen to see pics if you mod the xmember but I think most people don't bother given how close it is to the firewall anyway

    Yeah pretty much pointelss unless you are chasing .1 of a second around tsukuba. The E chassis is already such a well balanced platform that mods like this are mostly unnessiscary.

    Thanks for the input
    Mainly looking at it as just going to to make my own mounts to suit the k crossmember so while I was there going to see if anyone has done it and worth it it or not
