    Holy tight dude. And you still have to move it 3mm? Or did I read something wrong? Nice work though, that's going to be insanely fun to drive.

      He had to redo the subframe, so it should correct the 3mm that he needs.

              LOTS & LOTS & LOTS of tweaks here/there. I've pulled the motor in & out about another 6 times since my last update.

              passenger frame rail was recut & tweaked a bit for alternator clearance (B.F.H. was used)
              the subframe was recut a tiny bit for extra clearance to the rear motor mount.
              the belt side engine mount & bracket were modified slightly as well as the mount portion bolted to the block.
              Transmission top mount was modified some

              whole motor/trans combo was shifted ~20-25mm to unbind the axles

              wound up breaking the AC line going through the firewall.... so i need to find a replacement for that & now refill the entire system
              Tweaked the waterpump bypass tube slightly to angle better towards the heatercore.
              Installed my Fidanza® cam gears & reset the timing
              Drilled/tapped the water pump inlet for the water cooling feed for the turbo.
              had a whore of an axle C-clip so i gave it a bit of heat/ forced it into the passenger axle to allow it to cool under proper compression. - It now retains in the transmission perfect & is manageable to fit.

              noted the factory proportioning valve cap came out........ now im curious to dissasemble it
