    Got some bits powder coated candy bronze. The aluminum was brushed then coated

    seems to be more room in the z3 vs the e36. Even the fire wall had the booster tucked in more i think

    Thanks. I think for the quality/ price of these mounts it is really hard to beat.

    I have been building custom car parts for 15+ years, and when i seen his mounts for the price i decided should not to build my own

    Any chance you wouldn't mind sharing your driveshaft length?

    Trying to get ahead of this point in the build while I wait for his mounts to arrive! (Bought them after the last post)

    I would Forsure, however I'm a long way from installing the motor.

    I should be doing that next winter.

    I just ordered BTR stage one TT cam, dual springs, titanium retainers, pushrods, and trunion bushing kit.

    nice. I have done a few LS1 swaps into 3rd gen RX-7s. My M roadster is next on the list. Most likely wont go turbo though! in for more.

    great to see some progress! I am about to do a pretty basic LS swap to a friends 93 RX-7 for some extra cash to fund my swap in the M. Any idea on when you are going to start installing parts into the Coupe?
