Yeah, they got rid of the bracing where the fc has it and put it all at the very front of the car.

 

that thing is trick. that gives me alot of neat ideas. looks really good, and you are selling the GTU when you are done with this swap?

 

Ok mazdaspeed7, we need an update on how things are going .



Everything is looking great

 

by the way where is the link to your engine mounts ???

 

Heres the link for the mounts



Ive been making some progress with it, but not very much visible at the moment. Im trying to finalize the design of the body work so I can move forward and actually start it. Heres the current state though.

 

have you figured out how your going to mount the bumper?

 

One of the design issues I need to work through before I progress is going to be the division between the fenders, hood, and bumper, seeing as all will be custom or at least highly modified stock(fenders). The ducting needs to be worked out with the design as well so the vents function properly and flow with the rest of the design.



short answer: everything is going to have new mounts anyways, but those will be worked out after the bodywork is fiberglassed.

 

Cool.

 

this is definitely a swap that i will be considering for my fc, keep all the updates coming!

 

Going kinda slowly lately, hopefully I can put a little more time into it in the not so distant future.
