That was welded onto the subframe so you could mount the motor using the first gen front cover.

Oh OK I like the way it looks I wonder if it actually stiffens the chassis in any way. I would assume it would I may put something like that on my car.

miatamike203

It should help, but my subframe has more then need bracing. The guy who built the car told me went nuts on the bracing for the subfram.

I am trying to do kinda the same thing I plan one day to make 600whp or more so the more bracing the better. I really like this car and I hope I can take some of the good ideas off this one and put it into mine. Keep up the good work I can't wait to see what this thing is like when its done.

miatamike203

yeah well if i do keep it i have plans for this summer to make my way done the East coast. Only bad thing about taking the drive is that i will be hitting a gas station every 100 miles =[

Power = No Gas lol

miatamike203

Rotaries they pass everything but the gas station.

I was getting 5-10mpg just cruising down the highway.

The power and the gas mileage of a Ferrari! Win!

miatamike203

It sucks and the worst part is i went through 2 tanks in one day and i didnt even get to go into boost because the clutch would just slip.

miatamike203

So i got my old diff out and the new one in. Also pulled the trans so i could put the new clutch i ordered. Im going to have the car tuned for 250-300whp for now and once i find a turbo 2 trans im going to throw it in.

Nice. You might end up needing more radiator than that.

Was it hard to get the diff out of the expanded foam?

Sean

What control arms are you running they look beefy and I need that in my life.

miatamike203

I know im saving my pennys for the TSE big core radiator, and yeah you have no clue how hard it was to get the diff out of the foam. worked great tho.

No clue man, i do know they use ball bearing bushings and not bushings.

miatamike203

Well the news is and and its bad, 90PSI in the front rotor and 50PSI in the rear rotor. =[

Stop blowing motors! Perhaps your car is allergic to boost?

Sean

Got to love a rotary when they are right they are great and when they are bad they suck. Sorry to hear that.

miatamike203

Oh well im kinda happy to be honest as now i have a good reason to build the motor and shoot for even higher whp. =] Plus i only payed $500 for this motor.
