oooh nice... by chance you have part numbers for the speedsource mounts? im thinking of upgrading.

they're still in the prototyping stage and not released yet, keep checking their site.

You could also try calling them, its good for them to know that there is lots of interest for them.

I only really look when I see an update of your thread.

haha well I feel special

lol go grab the mounts and RUN!

:thumb:

white boys can`t out run a fat puerto rican. :lol

oh snap! he knows our plan lmao

Time 4 u to get us some sound clips of ur exhaust and runs on your car...get urself on a magazine cover too...

wow your car has come a long way since the last time I saw it. I really need to find some time to see it in person. Quick question where and how much did you get the radiator cooling plate? I wanna get one also.

Ditto that.

jspex, ur car is awesome....i had a few questions, i dont know if its okay to ask here or in a PM... but im still gonna ask.... did you use the OEM motor mounts when swapin the BT? how about the seat rails... those are seat brackets or how they work...??/ and on maintainace, you know a spot where they sell parts for the engine when it needs service.... i just need these questions answered, so i can continue my purchase.... im just a few step awat from buying a BT20v just like urs, 6spd with LSD for 1400 bucks...so thanks anyways if u can answer my questions..... i know u hear all over the place, but ur car is indescribable... looks badass, and its fast....cant wait for vids or sound clips....

A buddy of mines brought it in from the philippines. I'm not sure where he got it exactly. I believe the beatrush AE111 panel would fit 8th gens tho.

thanks man

yes all OEM 5spd motor mounts work with the exception of the transmission mount if you are using the 6spd.

There are quite a few companies that make seat brackets. Mines are made by NAMS and brought from Japan. However Wedge Engineering in the US also make brackets. You just need t know what seat you'll be using and get the one that bolts up to your seat application and your car application.

It is kinda important to make sure the swap you are buying comes with things like axles, shift cables, and shifter when you get the one with the 6spd otherwise you might run into some headaches during your swap.

You can get some maintenance parts at US dealerships but there are some that are not available, in that case PASS racing in socal stock or can get some of these parts.

Visit the Club4AG 20V forum, there are some very helpful resources over there.

Thanks. I can't find the beatrush version but would the C-one version work also as long as its for AE111 here is the link http://www.nengun.com/c-one/engine-cooling-panel

check out http://www.laile.co.jp/ Mach III should be able to help you order it if you give them the part number.

BTW I found a actual pics of it a while back.. you should check it against your engine bay


Beatrush actually makes the panel for C-One and C-One turn around and sell it for more.

Found a pic of the underpanel too


I want to get it but I'm not sure if it'll clear the header and Cusco lower arm bar.

here's a freeway run clip I made a while back.


I need a better camera, the mic on this one really blows.

O hell no !!

damn it sounds nice.

sounds good bro. i`m trying to get into a mag. soon already was in readers ride`s on SS about 3 years ago.

yea reader's rides is nothing. I was a full feature, nothing less.

My mounts will be here Wednesday. Thanks for helping get these things made.

back to those cooling plates, so it is the ae111 version that fits? my support across the front looks like shit cause it was hacked up to fit in the fan but now that it is moved, i would love to have one of these to cover it up. jspex, is your cusco one made for the ae111 too?

hey how did you get a set? i sent them an email and no reply on them i want a set too

Persistence. Have you called them yet? Best way to communicate with them.

The car sounds amazing!

Super aggressive.

That car sounds super fast. Time for a flyby and exhaust clip. I'm looking investigating those radiator cooling plates. I'll post if I end up getting one.

hey jspex , how about the axles, are the the same??? or u have to get custom axles???

driver side axle seem like the same but the passenger is a 2 piece "equal length" axle with a intermediate shaft. While it may be possible to use the one piece long axle that comes stock with our cars, you'll lose the benefits of reduced torque steer and more equal power split between the two wheels. Also some headers wouldn't clear it.
