So going to mount the fuse boxes under the battery tray. And build a enclosure for them there. Should be good :) starting to take shapeImagemy gearbox should also be here next week. So can test fit the engine soon! Whoooohoooo!

Got some tyres for the wheels today. My engine crane is busy and needs to go for a service. So no test fitting motor yet

Thanks guys!

Thanks. Hopefully everything works when I plug it all it. haha.

Yeah still trying to figure out how I will mount everything under the battery there. As I don't want o remove the bumper every time I want to check a relay/fuse... So will need to make like a trap door under the battery tray for easier access... Still going to be a while before I do that but will take some pics etc when I do :D

Also I'm glad you bought your old SX back! That thing is mint!

So some more progress. Over the weekend...

New steering wheel :D swopped for tyresImageImage

Also...

Image

Testfit success! Whoohoo!

Image

Image

Low!

Image

Clearance is minimal but radiator should fit Image
Image


Side clearance is 100% and enough to fit a supercharger later onImageImage

Exhuast side...
Image

Only issue is the sump that knocks the swaybar. So will need to modify that.

Image

Image

One more of front clearance

Image

Rear clearance

Image

Nice thing everything bolts to the stock gearbox mounts so no modding of the propImage

Struggled 3 hours to remove one mount... Then 5 min with the angle grinder and the other one was off...

Image
Image

Some more...

Gearbox mounted to motor

Image

Image

Whoohoo.

Busy mocking up engine mount brackets ect. Want to try weld the brackets this weekend.
