Damn, that looks like my brother's old car. Did you buy it from a young dude named Eric? My brother lives in Town -n- Country in Tampa, FL.

no, I bought it from a guy named jason. He did live in town-n-country though. He worked at Advance Auto parts on Dale mabry. Thanks for the info people. I guess I will just have to fab up the mounts myself. I want new ones and will probably make them myself.

I have a 80 corolla with a rotary in it but want some info on how to put one in. I just want to know if they put it in the right way or just did some who do me ****





It's basically easy if you have a little fabrication skills. The front cover has the mounting points for the RX7 mounting bracket. You'll have to use that and extend the bracket so it's equal on both sides. If you get one fron a RX2 then use that, it's equal on both sides. You'll have to cut off the stock toyota mounts and weld some type of bracket to the frame rails to mate with the rotary bracket.



For the tranny bracket you'll have to make a bracket that looks like this:



\_______/ or a variation of that depending on where your stock chassis bolts are. The stock tranny mount will fasten to (approx) the center of that "U" / "V" bracket. It's really not too hard you just have to be a little creative.
