Guess I won't bring it to DGRR

Any of you crackheads need parts, thinking of parting it out.

Say it isn't so!!

I've got bearings and e-shafts if you want/need.... like shipping plus buy me a beer or 14

Aight..... for all of y'all that have been asking about the rotisserie..... I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF THE CAR FALLS AND CRUSHES YOU, YOUR FOOT, OR YOUR SOUL!!!!

Soooooomewhat productive weekend. Over the course of the last 13 years all the wiring that I have done hasn't really voided the factory harnesses.... all that went out the window Saturday morning when I sliced into the front harness and rewired sooooo many things. Spliced into the fuse block too for things that I've added and mooched off Alex's spare harness for a few pins to wire things strait to the battery that need power with it's off - Alarm, radio mem, PDL, PW. Also bought a new Clifford Alarm with remote start thats going in



still need to get an after shot


Then I went after finishing up the mounting for the RX8 seats........ still a PITA btw. I think Todd has the right idea to mount those eff'ers.




Then went back over the chassis looking for rot and found one more place.... here are the worst of the spots..... ugh..... gotta get hoping on these repairs damnit.... 60 days to go and I keep finding more and more work

it went very well and pretty damn smoothly, i actually already ordered another one

the hardest time we had was with the new poly engine mounts not wanting to cooperate, but we got it in good, PPF was perfect , though i forgot to bring a 1/2 inch extension home so i could only gun on 5 of the 9 bolts onto it..ill save that for tomorrow lol

now i have to put her back together lol, im gona try and finish the real important stuff and then jump to the intercooler kit so i can bring it with the seats this weekend

but im hopeing things go just as smoothly with putting her back together as it did with installing the engine...ill put up a couple pics in a momento lol
