Making motor mounts is a lot fuckin harder than it looks.

I could only imagine dude..

Weekend Update

I gave the car a little massage with an oxy-acetylene torch and a BFH (big fuckin hammer). I needed a little more clearance for the pulleys and the transmission pan.

I also test fitted the Integra Master Cylinder. It's a tight fit, but it'll work. Integra brakes are a go!

And finally I built a bracket to go from the stock civic mount to the Integra engine. I gotta add some more gussets, but I need to test fit it first. More to come next week.

Right hand drive? Or am I looking at the master cylinder picture wrong?

I thought that too.
It has to be, the MC is on the "pass" side.

 

[klyph]

yup Its LHD, but the MC is on the pass. side. There's a bar that goes from the brake pedal, across the firewall to the passenger side and actuates the MC. It actually helps things fit quite nicely.

 

[Andrew]

huh.... thats cool
is it warmin up any up there?

Yup, It's 10 deg. now.

You can kinda see the bar for the brakes in this pic. its the fat one with the braket on the end.

 

[Andrew]

nice..... nice nice nice...

if it's only 10*, why isnt this thing done yet??

 

[klyph]

Because I'm 1/4 retarded, half slow, and can't remember where I left the other 1/4.

 

[eg6sir]
