One thing I forgot to mention. I am anal and kinda EMO about my car being a street car. I don't do anything at the track that the car does not do on the street. I have never bolted slicks to the car and have refused to on numerous occations.
I like to run my car on the street the same way it does on the track. I really don't even like bolting the BFG's on the car. So I want the car to run faster then 12.5 in street trim. Also like I said I have full interior and a radio etc. I don't think you could egt a DSM that lite without major mods like carbon fiber panels though-out.
As for the rear suspension. The struts are mounted at the same location they were mounted to on the factory soloid rear axle. So that should not be a problem.
As for the front motor mount...That is still up in the air.
The rear motor mount I started last night, but have not got very far on. It came as a blessing also. I wanted to put the plate on the firewall so I removed the rack, but then noticed the shifter cable hole is directly were I need the plate to be.
I almost gave up on the idea, but then wondered if I could move the shifter cable hole. So I put the heater box in and found you can move the hole a few inches to the passanger side with ease. Also this helps get rid of the real hard right then left hand turns the cable has to make. Also this makes the cable straighten out a bit and effectivly makes it a little longer to reach the trans.
I thought this area was 3 layers of steel, but it is actually 4 layers of steel and I wrapped the plate all the way down to were the factory crossmember bolts to.
I don't know if this is the right way, or the wrong way. I don't think it is really known. Like lilevo said, if it does not work then change it.
As for you guys coming down last night......
