Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
You could theoretially run rubber mounts on the sides except for the fact that the stock rubber mounts probably arent compatible with the new engine placement that the rear engine mount has created. I dont think stock side mounts would do much though, since the front and rear mounts are your main source of vibration. They are the "torque" mounts that control/absorb engine movement.

I would to do that, so I can remove the stock front cross member for a traction bar kit. I have a d series though. I was going to just have the rear torque inserts but I don't know.
something different

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
i dont trust (with the top-mount-style EF D series trans bracket i nthe rear ) just running the rear mount.
i ripped one out a trans once. they arent very strong, arent a wrap-around style like newer Ds/B's

I'll take a pic of either, just want to make sure. Cleaning up what I can as I go.
I dont think I will ever make the car as clean as some of these good examples I see, I like mine a little rough around the edges, seen some miles and still gets used. That way I'm not as nervous about just using it.

I think it's pretty much understood it's going to vibrate like hell in a swapped car. On another note. check this out.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
There are two other videos(same people in each)...one has a RC car controlled with the touch, and the second video is the same people controlling an F1 car with the touch. It's pretty sick!

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
I was hoping you'd show up to see that. Your car has very much been an inspiration. Oh and just saw the latest pics - loving the new wheel setup - RB's huh? Have the same set sitting in the hatch, yeah, in for now.

all it is is the ipod touch. and his car is just running a computer thats connected to the interwebz. sorta scary to think if someone could hack into his car though and just keep starting it and turning it off. very sick and talented though.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Hey all, wondering if I will be able to relocate my stock battery where the airbox behind the passenger signal goes? My car's in a million different places right now, and I don't want to just go off measurements when I weld in a holder.... Or will I need a smaller one?
Thnx

any particular reason you need it there?, just wondering it seems like that would be in a worse location than the stock location

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Definitely a terrible location. where would your air filter for the intake go? You could leave it in the stock location but mount it lower if you wanted. I've seen someone do that.
