Yup! We got the idea from Amenson's project thread. The only thing we did different was just notch the driver side arm for the shift rod hole in the engine bar. Amenson notched both arms providing the intake manifold clearance. But to our discovery if we did that the water pump outlet neck would not clear the engine bar. I'll take more pictures later on.

Attached ImageAttached ImageHey looks good man, it's a lot of work isnt it? I'm starting a similar build right now, I picked up a N/A 2.2 for $150 and I am mounting it to a Audi 5000 transaxle which is suppose to handle up to 450-500 HP, which is perfect for when I can afford a STI engine. Keep up the good work. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Thats a nice sized radiator! What is it out of?

PS Rubber isolators for the radiator are your friend. The radiator should not be touching metal.

It's a dual core aluminum radiator for a Miata. I need to hit up Home Depot for some rubber bushings at the moment i'm only using rubber washers.

Managed to fabricate the radiator shroud a few weeks back:

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i62.photobucket.com-2697-1302888141.1.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i62.photobucket.com-2697-1302888142.2.jpg)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i62.photobucket.com-2697-1302888142.3.jpg)
then we got bored and started blue taping (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Cool project guys, where did you source your wheel adapters from? Any concerns or issues with them?
