It's still in R&D but should be out early next year. Here's some pics of the part.

Dang that looks awesome! I might be interested in something like that down the road but i kinda wanted a little bit of give since i have mostly solid mounts in the rear. Im glad there are more and more parts coming out for these cars!

Well let me know if you ever need any help with anything. Im always down to help a fellow rotary. If you end up going with a standalone system i would definitely recommend jeremy to tune it. I bought his old microtech that he tuned for me and it is amazing compared to the crappy fuel piggy back system i was running before. I revved the living **** out of it at the last cfrc practice and it just takes it like its nothing.

Yeah I already talked to Jeremy and he said he had no problem tuning my car when it's done. I'm running 1000cc all around on Megasquirt 3 so I'll need someone to tune it. I'm going to do the base tune but hopefully Jeremy will still be down to make the final tune. And thanks man! Where are you at? Orlando?

Awesome, sounds like you have a pretty good idea of how you want your car. Are you doing a stock port motor with stock turbo? I live in st pete by the way.

True....if its a car you plan in driving on the stress a lot I wouldn't really go with everything solid either. But pure drift beast then yes. Also cool build dude can't wait to see it done.

Thats basically what im running stock ports and turbo and im quite happy with it im just a little over 300hp. Its definitely enough power to have some fun with. But am trying to pull the motor hopefully before i blow it up to rebuild and get some real power out of it

I dont think anything is done with the motor but i could be wrong, we will see when i rebuild it. It was just an ebay motor from japan with 60k on it and been running it for almost 3 years and its actually holding its own. Just running an aeromotive fuel pressure regulator with an rp competition pump and 750cc secondaries, 3in exhuast w/ cat, microtech lt8, kn intake, front mount, all block of plates, even blocked off water to the intake and thats pretty much it. It made 296 whp about 2 years ago on the crappy fuel management system but now that i have a full standalone controlling ignition and is fully tuned im sure its gotta be a little higher now.

Thanks! We will see i guess haha

Heres a little turkey day update. Ditched the cardboard, just wasnt my style Used my old steel hood to make the sunroof delete. This is where i wish i had a band saw, doing this with a angle grinder wasnt the easiest task in the world

First i grabbed some cardboard from my last parts order and made a template.

I have some sweet updates! i have been working on the car slowly but surely and have been getting quite a bit done. I am leaving for Georgia on the 21st for Christmas and my goal was to have the motor in the car before i left...

I had a couple thing to do with the car and the motor. I cleaned and wet sanded the bay with a scotch bright pad and it came out pretty decent on the passenger side but the driver side looked like dog poop...

Also had to do the oil pan on the motor. When i received the motor it was on a awkward spot on the pallet and bent up the pan. I popped out the dents, painted and re installed the pan. i have the worst luck with RTV stuff and it will probably leak...

Finished cleaning up the bay and painted it up to the front. The reason i left some unpainted parts is so i didnt have to grind away the paint when i go to finish up the v- mount. i thought it was a smart decision....
