    Let me know if you want that axle and Ill get it boxed up.
    Aha I didn't know it was different. Message me with a price that u have in mind please and we can go from there.

    In one of your pics I see a hole in the firewall near the shifter cables. Where is that hole on the inside?? Under the ecu somewhere?? I need somewhere to feed wires into the bay easier and I like your idea. I just wanted to know approximately where u have drilled that hole.

    Pm me your number. Ill text you a picture, its easier that way for me. Im actually gonna move those wires through engine harness opening. It will be much neater both inside the bay and behind the firewall for me.

    Probaly not for you since you still have all the hvac stuff.

    Hello all, its been a lil over 4 months since the last update but I have been chipping away at it as much as I can. The season has come and gone and I only have about 50 min of track time which really sucks but I started using my brain and bought some books on road racing to learn as much as I can and watching lots of videos of the tracks I usually go to.
    Im so looking forward to next year, late Feb 17' I should be on track shaking down the car at a new local track and from there I hope to be at a track every month.

    So many details went it to this job and much of it has to do with the new rack, subframe, Evo LCA's and some other odd bits. Ill try to summarize it and the end but for now if you have any questions let me know.


    Well heres the new rack and subframe. Being its a tubular subframe built by hand its a bit trick lining up all the connections for the LCA's and rack.

    20160815_141908 by Bryant Ospina, on Flickr

    At first nothing was lining up so I began to get worried, I emailed the fabricator and he was really helpful. I actually felt kinda stupid afterwards but he told be to loosen up the urethane bushings by working them in with a pry bar and a screwdriver in the holes and work them in and eventually both LCA's lined up. Wasn't easy though, took a lot of thought and patience with some brute force.

    Holes not lining up.

    Once that was all set it was time to raise it in the car but of course I ran into 3 other major issues.

    The exhaust pipe is in the way.

    20160815_210401 by Bryant Ospina, on Flickr



    Swar bar is so damn thick I had to hammer in the bottom of the fire wall for clearance. The black sharpie marks show how much I had to hammer in.

    20160813_001053_001 by Bryant Ospina, on Flickr

    The other problem was the rack didn't quite line up with the existing shaft wearing the metal cover. The other problem was I started overthinking the solution, I started cutting and notching the cover for the universal joint but in the end opening a whole with a 2" hole on the side of the cover was it all it needed to clear.

    Hard to tell but here it is not lining up in the beginning.

    20160828_160547 by Bryant Ospina, on Flickr

    With out the cover.

    20160826_195815 by Bryant Ospina, on Flickr

    Here I am thinking Im smart and start cutting the cover up,,,,

    20160822_211827 by Bryant Ospina, on Flickr

    Then I thought I would dog ear the edge of the cover thinking I could shift the actual housing of the cover by hand enough to the left and would clear the joint but that wasn't possible. In the end I took a 2" hole saw where the joint was hitting and opened it up. Theres another rubber cover that covers everything up.

    20160828_174314 by Bryant Ospina, on Flickr

    After that and some other tweaks I had to make to the fuel and brake lines for clearance along with making a bracket for the p/s line it was time for the engine to go home.

    Yea after all this work and finding the time to do it going awd is not in the near future. Im gonna try to extract the most I can from this Evo trans. Its actually running now, I took it around the block already and it runs fine but I had to cut the down pipe before it goes under the motor since the Evo starter and the T-case are in the way now. I called up the fab shop and Im waiting in line to get in so they can re-do the down pipe and some other odds and ends while Im there.

    Good to hear, I remember you saying that u wanted to stay fwd for a while to enjoy the car more on the track. Wasn't sure if those plans have changed.

    Good progress B. The subframe is not completely necessary to keep this setup fwd right? I just bought the trans and now looking for a tcase. I plan on keeping the Galant subframe and control arms since mine will NEVER become AWD. Im on a little hiatus from spending money because we are expecting in May, and I am working two jobs so I can have some racecar money when the kid arrives. lol. I plan on starting the work on babyG in 2018. I have to address the harness and the drivetrain.

    REALLY REALLY excited to see how this setup works for you my friend. We are going two different directions (mine is going to strictly be a drag car) but it is awesome to see your progress on resolving this drivetrain issue.

    I'd rather have the knowledge and ability to do it than the money to buy it already done.

    No the subframe is not needed and from what I understand also the evo steering rack is not not needed either. U would need to do some minor cutting/notching to the subframe though.

    Yeah I've spoke to Brian and Brandon and to my understanding, if I keep the galant subframe and and control arms all I'd need from the evo besides the trans and tcase, are axles and the hubs/knuckles.

    My trans actually still moves the car, I just have to either start out in 2nd or shift 1st to 2nd with a 5 second pause in between. Lol

    I wonder what happened inside from all your launching. I'm curious to see how mine holds up next season.
