Well I got my new QA1 Heim Joints delivered today from Speedway Motors and I'm beyond pleased ! Everything is tight !
On a side note, all my motor mount parts came in, I'll update soon again.

Finally got off my lazy *** and did something today. I finished the battery relocation, tightened up everything underneath, got my exhaust back up, changed transmission fluid with some Redline, mounted my intercooler and test fitted the front bumper cover.

This thread has been a massive amount of inspiration!
My PMC adapter kit is due to arrive on Friday, cant wait to make a start with my VVTI 1JZ,
Luckily my RX8 came factory 5 speed so no need to upgrade the box.
Sorry to go way back and ask a probably, totally simple question,
Using this plate will be a fine offset and will disengage correctly?
We in NZ have a similar problem as you guys in US as none of the models came here and noone stocks the kits off the shelf.
I'd rather just like to order my clutch parts once.
Good stuff, keep it coming!
Cheers

So I started building my motor mounts about 2 days ago. I am almost to the point of welding it all together. I just need to do a little bit more trimming and making some minor adjustment of the parts. The mounting tabs being one of the things to trim down. So here is a little update. (And no i didn't tack weld these with the bushings in.)

Awesome thread! Currently sourcing parts for a 2J swap myself and this has been incredibly helpful/insightful.
How do you like the new motor mounts you fabbed up? Better harmonics than the kit from LS1 RX8?

I like them allot better. There really wasn't anything technically wrong with the ones from LS1RX8 other than harmonics. If it wasn't going to be a street car i probably would not have given it a second thought.
But since it will be driven often, I'd like to keep NVH down to a minimum and my dash were it is supposed to be and not in my lap.

DYNO DAY !
It did 384whp and 332 Torque at 6800. It was pushed a touched further until the ecu cut us off because it reached max injector duty. So it was backed off to about 370 wheel since it was at 88% Duty Cycle. I just ran out of injector.
