Hahaha, this is the greatest thread ever. Those pics are sooo old. Yet so awesome. My old black fc had like 7 different motor setups in it. From bolt on turbos, to custom manifolds with t72s on peripheral FD motors. Then to the sr cuz we thought it would be funny. We did everything ourselves, the cages, the engine builds, the tuning... all in an old barn in pennsylvania. Lots of fun.

Those videos are awesome. That was like almost 2 years ago!!! The sweet sweet limitations of the stock fc steering angle...

It was a bumper offered by www.rotaryextreme.com. it was a mazdaspeed gtc fd bumper made to fit fc's. the wiring just tapped into the stock fc turn signal.

and for the sr in the fc. we did it with the stock fc subframe and steering rack. and made our own mounts and oil pan/oil pickup. I have a friend who is in the middle of doing it with a 240sx crossmember so it bolts in and clears the steering rack better and sits a little lower. and you also dont need to do a custom oil pan. but you do need to do custom lower control arms!

thanks for the info, what about wiring the sr motor? was it completely custom or did you splice the 2 harnesses?

It was a splice between the two harnesses. Tony did all the wiring. Hopefully he will come on here and say how he did it.
