A little cleaner under the hood - Lateral-g Forums

I've been meaning to do this for quite a while now, but I finally moved the coils.

Looks much better, but now I'm not so in love with the factory fuel rail. lol

Better than before... It almost looks like my car had its braces taken off.

Looks killer Scott, where do the coils end up mounting?

Al Moreno · #5 05-20-2010, 05:39 PM

Huge difference! It's amazing what that little extra details will do.

What dd you use to move them?

Looks great Scott!

Car looks great Scott! I was wondering when you made the swap, did you have any panel fitment adjustments to make from the old subframe to the new? I see you did not take the front sheetmetal apart, but was wondering how that part of the swap went. Thanks!

I'd also like to know where you moved the coils to?

The coil brackets are from JCG. I did Cris's website, so there was some horse trading involved.

I mounted them on the backside of the footwell area of the floor. There's at least 2" of clearance - they fit perfect. You can see the right side coils in this pic. the drivers side has way more room, but because of the steering column, you can't see them at all.

No problems with panel fitment and alignment. I did a test fit of the bare frame before I assembled it just to make sure. The swap went great, I had no problems. I didn't really know what to expect since all I had was an engine hoist, 6 jackstands, and 2 floor jacks. lol

What was pretty cool was we checked for squareness of the frame when I had it aligned on a pretty new Hunter alignment rack. It was perfect. I was surprised, to be honest, that it was dead nuts on. I had simply used the alignment dowel rod holes in the frame and body and cross measured in a few places.

Another interesting thing was that I had the car aligned 2 years ago when I finished it, and we got the thrust angle set at .01 degrees. After 2 years and 7,300 miles, it still measured .01 degrees. Pretty amazing that the quadralink never moved.
