What kind of ground clearance do you have? The block huggers look good, but it appears that all of the ground clearance that they gained for you, you lost by not having a notched trans crossmember. I like the rear bumper.

the trans crossmember is notched. The loop are 1/2 thick I use 2x 1/4 wall (don't have a big welder)

Sorry for my cell phone quality...



it can be closer to make more room but i'm limited with the 4" cat converter body.

I will try to mesure my ground clearance this afternoon, but i like to ajust the car 1/2 inch higher for tire clearance.

Have to cut the belhousing (clutch wire passage) to make room for the exhaust.

I probably make a other trans mount later (This is my first prototype one)

Thanks for the bumper, it's not finish (Cheap china bumper) but i will fix it.

Looking good guy. Question, what headers are you using?

Thanks, RR

This is more a question than critique, why are the cats so far back? Dont they need as much heat as possible in them to work properly? I like the pipe runs though, very clean.

Don't think they realy back to cause some problem, but i'm not a expert. I just clear the transmission mount and clutch slave. Don't forget with the bock hugger the exhaust start directly under the car.
