Motor is back in. Next up getting the exhaust built. I also need to build a cap for the hole in my trunk. Planning to tie in my rear suspension towers with a cross bar. Then having my cap possible attach to it.

Looks great Jamie. Is that trans hanger suppose to fit above or below the engine cradle? I see your axles are centered with the wheels. How did they line up before you modified the cold water cradle? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Before I modified it they were to far forward. One of the things I gave no thought to when it came to cradles. MY last setup they were basically in line. Knowing some of the suby guys blowing out their suby CV's. I know the extra angle was just going to make that more likely. I'm hoping with them lined up it will be okay. Surprising how much difference 2" can make with the CV angle

I have no way of knowing this but I suspect that you are correct. MY 1/2 shafts are centered front/back and up/down. I've never had one pop out. I drove the crap out of it the 1st year but since I drive like an old lady. I'm happy for you and glad to see you'll be back in the saddle soon. Give me a call next year when you get around to adding the AC. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Kent

The a/c is a bit of a head scratcher. My Stinger ECU does not have a way to run it. Another oversight on my part (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . At some point it means probably going back to a Stock ECU & wiring harness modified to work. Then a Cobb port. Wish I had gone that route anyway. Would have been much easier to get my tune & have multiple versions. For now I plan to enjoy it for a while before I decide to upgrade it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

If your Stinger can control your idle speed your good to go. All the factory ECU does is raise the idle speed when your running the AC!

Yeah just don't think there is a provision in there for that. I hope so but my wrench didn't think there was

All you need is a way to bump the idle speed when switch is engaged.

In the old days it was done with a bit of extra air in a bypass the throttle plate.

You should still have the power steering circuit, same concept.

Or, it's usually just a solenoid allowing more air in. You can wire it to the A/C switch.

Modern cars will cut the comp at higher rpms & heavy on the pedal. So basically good to have but not necessary for use.

On my trunk cut out. What do you guys think about framing basically a rectangle that is boxed. So it would be a bar across the top tying the strut towers together. As well as one along the bottom but where my cut is that also connect the strut towers just lower. Then small bars on each strut tower tying both the upper & lower bars. Which leaves me with a fairly easy plate to cap it all. I think structurally this will strengthen things. As well a be nice & clean

Your trunk notch plan is essentially what I was thinking. Just extending the shock tower area into the trunk giving that room to the engine bay.

I think it's a very clean idea, especially if you get fancy with some bumps like the factory. It could look completely stock.

McMark did one with trunk sections matched up perfectly and looked (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

My trunk coming together. Will stiffen things up nicely. Plus make an easily removable plate. Wasn't expecting the fab guy to ad the rounded plates around the shock tower. Sure makes it look better
