#1 - I wasn't aware of that. I'll look into that. Minnesota is kinda tough because if I straight water it will freeze and blow out freeze plugs... That happened to my very first car I tried to mod and added only water..

#2. The motor is solidly mounted with a plate to the frame and transmission. You can see it at the bottom of post #59. I thought about it being too rigid, so I put some rubber spacers between the muffler and the bracket (see post #66 mid way down). I think that should suffice in allowing some movement... at least enough to not rattle crap around to the point of breaking.

*shrug*

Does that help? Think it will work?


I thought you had a motor plate -- so that will stabilize the motor movement... and thus the exhaust.


I totally get the environment the car is in.... COLD is an understatement! And many events allow street car stuff such as antifreeze.... it was more of a heads up to beware - thus perhaps check tech rules - before being caught unaware.
