Jessopia74 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Engine should sit pretty far back in that modded bay, light enough engine anyway, but will really help with weight Ballance 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®evo03 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 5 stud, what hubs are used ? Brake disc model, size, caliper details would be welcome. Great project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h0tr0dder_uk Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 I bought the hubs off TJM. https://mantaclub.org/profile/553-tjm/ Discs and calipers really depends on your setup. I went with 5 stud ford hubs so I could fit the wheels I wanted. So I got the brake hats and rotors for a 2006 ford mustang. Calipers are Wilwood Dynalite and I had to make a custom bracket to fir them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h0tr0dder_uk Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 Finally back on the car after a few weeks off following laser vision surgery. Finished up the offset brake pedals. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FzEvCN6gCzd8NygaymLZaQSc75RrJtEc/view?usp=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FyBdg1NCmbaBvjnjH8CcE39uPr1zguaV/view?usp=drivesdk Now that they're finally in place I could continue with the firewall build. Last 3 panels still need a little trimming before welding in place. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Fx9C8iUgDUIqjnJGpJ_zXCHPzhra6-ZN/view?usp=drivesdk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 That firewall move really improves the space in the engine bay by quite a large amount, but from inside does not look like it would cause too much of a constraint. However, those offset pedal would take some getting used to. I find driving cars that have the steering wheel that feels offset to pedals pretty annoying. Hard to judge from picture angle. But this is a different case ofc 😎 Fun factor 100 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam.in.head Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 i think a lot of cars (viva hc for eg) in the 70's have the steering wheel offset to the pedals and forward facing seat but you get used to it, never notice it now when i swap cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h0tr0dder_uk Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 My e46 bmw m3 had pedals that were offset too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h0tr0dder_uk Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 So I had a change of mind and decided to cut the front off my Manta https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LhdI9zzgW1EyR1m3Irvmp9i-dDBE4Wqc/view?usp=drivesdk So I had to make some new panels to fill the hole and add back some strength https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LYNzNP6UeXtQ5AvhuWJbS9dyhxI7uWyF/view?usp=drivesdk Then I could refit and paint the original turbo front spoiler https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LZarjW4800gjyI1-dqeAdkWfQkfm5Es-/view?usp=drivesdk So this means I had to fit a smaller intercooler. Hope it's up to the job https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LcL9n-eYT9--ELNEUcQhXQXOMfdRhJ4A/view?usp=drivesdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were cutting at the bulkhead! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
