That looks like a pair of 16 year old ****......------- BEAUTIFUL!
I can't believe it fit that well. Hopefully you get the steering figured out.

Looks sweet, more room than I expected.
Do you think sliding the engine forward, despite hood clearance, to fit a firewall mounted rack a la Chrysler Concorde et al, is an option or do you have a better idea?

i'm planning on putting the rack under the oilpan. that is about the only option i have, short of running it infront of the engine and getting different spindles or turning them around backwards, which would really mess up the suspension geometry i think.

Well, if the car has to become front steer... it's not like there isn't a lot of room to play with. Guess it's not such a big deal after all, car should turn out well.

Steering shouldn't be a problem. Just give it more throttle and it should come around.

Re: my RWD CRX project
------- awesome... I've decided to do something similar with the 91 Si I've acquired (---- fwd 
). Instead of an S2000 mill I'll be using an older turbo engine, such as an sr20, 13b, 1jz etc. I considered an SBC but after taking some measurements I realized there would be too much hacking.
The biggest issues I see coming are 1) that damn rear crossmember 2) steering rack placement and operation and 3)hood clearance. I might end up making a hood cowl out of some sheet metal.
Jago, I still haven't gotten pics of my setup in my 94, I know. There's no photographic evidence that I know anything about anything or my toys/location. I might just keep it that way

and they are cheap as ----, i have even seen a few complete v8 auroras with under 150k miles for like $500-600 ready to be a daily driver
so if you could get the engine,tranny,and electronics you would have a nice powerplant and still get $250-400 for the shell at the scrap yard
only probelm is they are auto but if im not mistaking they are a 5speed auto with a manual shift gait
i know a friend had a 4.0l v8 aurora a couple years ago and it was quick and it weighed like 4100lbs so cut that weight in half and you have a sick *** car
i personally would rather have a 4.0l aurora powered honda than an ls1 powered honda
or a toyota 1uz-fe engine wold be awsome also or an l67 thats a 3800 series 2 pushrod v6 and supercharged they are rated at 240hp and 290ft-lbs stock in 1999 and earlier cars and 260hp and 310ft-lbs in the 2000-2007 cars
and they came in everything i know i have ridden in a couple gtp's and they weigh like 4300lbs and will keep with a 5.0l mustang stock for stock
i think they run 14's stock so again cut the weight in half and i see no reason to expect to run slower than 11's with some traction
