Good job mate. Interested in seeing how you get on with it.

great to see you've done this mod, its on my list of things to do. But I'm also going to fit the short shift lever.
can you provide a pic of hole location in the bulkhead?. I take it you have to remove the exhaust to slide the unit down?.

Anywhere in that region should be fine! That's in the exhaust tunnel

I'd say the only thing that may change is if the shifter needs to go slightly forward or back depending on reach to the gearbox, should be fine though.

These are my efforts to solid mount the subframe. Thanks to @krash67 for the photos of a racer subframe (in black below)



What I hope to achieve (with location into the brace using adaptors)




Trying to save money where possible, the racer subframe is around £400, doing it myself is around £20-40

However I do need to consider spherical bearings for the wishbones..

I decided to drill two holes in the brace to accommodate removing the lower torsion mount.

Loving that shifter mod! Would you be able to do it with the exhaust/other things in place?

It's something that really nags me with my car, and like you I can't justify a grand on a CAE.

@A1axx If you get frustrated I have a spare sub frame at half the cost!

I would personally recommend the manifold is removed as the heat shield needs to be dropped!! This is just to get the shifter box down

Racer EE's have arrived!

 

[A1axx]

So so so chuffed! It's going to be a different animal

Just taking time to torque and paint while waiting on shafts.

Last piece of the subframe puzzle hasn't arrived yet so the custom adaptors will be in progress next week

Just a couple of photos to share on what really goes on when the racer kit is fitted

Not much rollcentre correction

20mm of bump steer correction

For the money and ease of fitting I'd recommend the bump steer kit even with out the EEs!

Both seem to change by about 20mm for RC and Bump

I take it the steering rack spacer shim that you placed on top of the TRE bush is purely to show the distance gained......just checking ! Lol

Haha, yes mate. I was curious to be honest as looking at the EE bracket & the tre spacers/rack spacers separately it didn't look like much, but it is actually 20mm each
