Okay this is the car in all its glory ugly as heck, but hey its an auto-x car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/new_shocked.gif) This one is from my first season of auto-x with this car.



Heres what it looks like today. Made it even uglier (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)



Here is the goal, I can sketch ideas, but I can not draw at the level of others on this forum. Thank you 914 Visulizer. and my black pen. Now if I could find a good front view. And the flares are not on the car since I'm not using GT Flares.



But you get the general idea.

Now making my first bad design I wanted to use so DOM I had around. It did not go well.



And more crap



That tool requires more setup than what it is worth. And well, I had little less than 6" to play with in the car, so I was a bigger pain than it was worth.

So yesterday I cut them all apart and went at it again. This time I had some 1" Square with .125" wall. Back at it, and much easier. Sorry no pictures I got busy building (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

I drilled a small hole in the top bracket, and in the bottom where I wanted the center of my tube to hit. I took a long zip tie, and threaded it between the two points. Now I have my line and my angles. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I then took a cereal box, and cut out pattrens and made them fit between the two mounts. I then took a sharpie and traced the zip tie. Removed the cardboard from the car, up on the bench I used a protractor, and figured out the angles. and cut my tubes. And well then fit, nice and tight welded them up.

Here they are in the car.





After much messing around I have the EG33 as far forward as I could get it. I used the engine front mounts forward by drilling the holes off center. That pushed me forward and extra 1.25"



Which did this for my CV alignment.



And still allowed for this, just barely.



And if I was going to use the stock snorkel I would need to clearance the firewall just a little bit.



Only one hole in the car so far it got a little bigger due to this little issue right here,



And I'll make a nice plate to cover this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)



And my starter clears with plenty of room.



And this is the part number if you wish to duplicate it.
