SWEEET... Are you using the LEEN mount? If not... Once my mount is built, we plan on seeing if it fits Jesse's floor too(I have E7, you both of E86) if it fits you are more than welcome to my specs to build it yourself....

My friend Martin already got his AE86/7AGE/RS200 AZ6 up and running with a costum mount so we have a pretty good idea on this. But if you guys finish first I'll take a good look. I'll post up as well

Since neither of us has the car operating yet... we can only theorize, but the mix of W58 bits and the J160 bits seem to work....

did you see the mod as we made it? I've got it posted somewhere.

In my case I swapped the J160 driven gear onto the W58 shaft and it all seems to fit. The J160 final drive is 3.9, which will likely* be my final drive once I get the rear diff swapped. The W5x uses 2 different sized drive/driven gears and you need to get the mix correct or you ruin both


* - I am intrigued about how the J160 "acts" with my current final drive(3.58 ) The J160's 1st gear of 3.8 might make me re-think using the 3.91

Oh I see - I thought you guys had finish this allready... But yeah I saw your worm gear post. I guess we'll know soon enough

And I would go for the 3,9 final for sure
