I wanted to reuse what I have and have everything close by. I’ll definitely look for better solutions after the car is running. That’s a really good location to add them.
Thinking this weekend will be an interesting trial and error session. Definitely gotta mount my LIM for the clearer picture. Guess thats next episode ;)
Thanks so much! Means a lot. hahaha Yea. I dip the tungsten a lot, but so glad welding steal is forgiving on that. Aluminum, not so much. I bought the bash bar from Street Faction. Not sure of the thickness, but Ill find out this weekend for you when I go work on the rx8.
That custom bracket is too clean!!!!
PILIPINO POWA! You and I both got it brotha.
I found that the ignition oils fit up next to the windshield wiper motor, then you make more room in the engine bay, and it streamlines the plug leads

Looking good man, you've got a lot of skill!
You as well brotha!
Lmao love the ending. One of those moments when you worked all day and was burnt but had a good idea, atleast you thought it was until you discover.
Hahahahah. Exactly. It probably won’t be my last hiccup.
I think you could probably mount the coils on the frame to the side of the engine

I'm keeping the coils off the block, keeps them cooler!
Maybe my failure was a sign to do that as well ;).
Nice work man! Not to be a nag, but don't forget the eye protection with the angle grinder. You only get one set of peepers, protect 'em!
Thank you man and you are 100% correct. I actually invested in some protection afterwards. especially ear muffs. Grinding metal is noisy too! lol
Nice!! I'm probly gonna end up with this swap into my 8! Going boosted renesis for now!! 👌👌👌
Awesome! Im hoping I can do that one day as well, but RX8 prices has been going up! Which is a good thing for us :).
Love that your trying welding yourself keep it up, still giggle every time I see you dip the tungsten. What thickness tube is that bash bar?
Ps. Don’t grind with a cutoff wheel, bad things will happen...

Hahahahaha yes we've all been here 🤣😜
Failure is always a good thing haha.
Just lay the coils over.
Did you do yours yet?
I’m running the haltech smart coils.
Eventually I’ll run those. Let’s see how the BHR ones hold up.
Bhr will be fine
