rear Torque solutions trans mount. .80Lbs lighter then stock. thanks to mike at AWD for hooking me up with this piece. great product well made and proven reliable. and its lighter then stock.

sorry i dont have pics of mine. my camera wont take a good pic of it and i do not know why. but here is a pic of the mount off of his website.

 

Not doing the side mounts? I heard the side ones shake the crap out of the car. I have a full set but do not know if I am putting them in yet.

 

I already have the sides. The rear was always stock.

 

rear end, both rear sub frame's, fuel tank are all removed. gonna work my magic on the bad fuel tank and if it works out i will do the same to the new one that is coming. also looking at the smaller rear sub frame i honestly do not see a need fr half of it. hum

 

modded Alt bracket installed




and a little teaser pic of more Ti. this is a big hint to whats doing on.

 

ok so if you have been reading i have been having a hard time getting the rear sway bar on. the godspeed sway bar is supposed to use the stock brackets. but oddly on my car it would not work. i thought maybe it was the really crappy bushings they sent with the sway bar so i ordered Whiteline stock bar bushings. again this made things even harder. the bushing is much stiffer then the godspeed bushings. so i remembered when i sold my ''hotchicks'' rear sway bar they had there own type of bracket setup and it worked well. so i bought the parts from them that i needed. lets hope this works. otherwise i wont be running a sway bar. i will get this installed once the new gas tank shows up and i get it back in the car.



also i went a little over board. last tune i had Sean ''iveytune'' said my pumps may be at there limits. i do not know why that would be but whatever he is the tuner and i trust him. my car has made it this long with him behind the keys. i was going to send my DP'er to BR to have this done but i figured i could learn something so i ordered 2 Walbro 450 ''E85'' pumps and here they are. these will go in the DP'er setup. if i can make them fit. . this should give me way to much fuel then i will ever need. the rest of my fuel system is fine. -8 feed -6 return, fuel rail, ID2000 injectors, fuel lab mini FPR.




once there in the hanger i will get some pics up. thats if they will even fit. these are pretty big

 

I forgot to ask, how bad does your car shake with those motor mounts?

Can I have those titanium bolts please?

Damn that is a lot of fuel. You could drain the tank in the blink of an eye! What hp were you putting down that you were maxing out 2 Walley 255's?

 

Dan i haven't read your thread in a few days and all of a sudden more parts are coming off the Evo WTH!?

You truely are a mad-scientist

 

honestly i can answer the engine mount question. i had the front solid cross member. that did add some vibration but it was nothing to complain about. when i did the mounts i did not notice anything above the cross member.

sure you can. ill give you the guys number to call to get a set. im at least 1k into Ti now. still waiting on the really cool stuff to show up.

Patrick. i honestly do not know what is wrong with me. it is a serious problem though. as i slowly put the car together i come up with new ideas and rip apart another section of the car. i just want it perfect and to be impressed with what i have done. if i ever finish it. i must make the shootout though. so i guess thats the goal.

 

what a day. today i got to work on the fuel tank that i pulled out of the car. this tank was junk anyways so what a better way to learn something. first up is to shied some weight. thanks to ExtremeDSM for the tip on this one. i do not recall how much weight he got off it but i got 5.0 lbs off the tank. i will do this to the new one as well. i then might send the tank out to be cleaned and painted.



also seeing how i am installing 2 E85 450 pumps i wanted to make sure they sit properly in the tank. maybe i did not have to do this but i like to learn something. i am going to make some windows in the side of the sump and make it viewable to see what the best angle each pump and sock should be. also i will be able to really get a good idea of how deep i can get the pumps. what a great way to make use of a junk fuel tank. i have 2 great condition tanks on the way that will get the weight reduction mods done to them.






lastly i was able to get the water pump pulley back on with the Ti hardware. purrrrrrdy.

 

I would be afraid to cut up a tank like that for some reason. I think I would blow up.

Titanium looks purdee!!! What is that water pump pulley? It looks like it is aluminum???

 

I cleaned the tank out before I cut it. As much as I like fire I wanted to avoid it doing this haha.

Yea I have aluminum water pump pulley and alternator pulley. I have had them for a few years now.

 

Did you get those custom made or did you buy them somewhere?

 

I thought about removing that fuel tank shield, but I'm just not 100% comfortable with it not being there...
