I'm totally against having a big yank lump in the back of my car whenever it decides lets go, I'm 6ft 3 and the is no way I'm gonna move my seat forward 2-3". So the audi is the best option for me (aswell as it bolting straight up to a gearbox that fits properly), ok it maybe down on power but that's why turbos were invented

Why would you need to move your seat forward 2-3"? The LSx Doesn't Portrude into the cabin at all. Yes you'll need to make a new front cover if you ended up hacking it up to make room, which isn't hard at all if you know how to beat on some thin sheet metal with a hammer lol... Keeping a few inches of space between your newly created firewall/front cover, you should still have more than enough room to reinstall the stock carpet mat and keep it looking stock. Just like mostly everyone has done.



Then you add on the Coolant Plate and Hoses, add something thats like half an inch thick to act as a spacer between the engine and your newly created firewall, start hammering down to get shape and eventually you'll have a nice shape and not lose any cabin space.

Might even be able to Rhino Line it thick enough to act as some sound deadener.

Sorry Josh, but after seeing Martsink's photo....



I thought that was space that I need as I haven't seen John's firewall fitted, looks like I jumped to the wrong conclusion on that, sorry bud.

Yeah, I saw that too. And have stated my disagreement with it. But its his car. I believe he stated it was just some leftover scrap metal he used to quickly make a cover. But if you look at the pic of the Renegade Car, he still has his center console in tact, his stock carpet in tact. Might have a lil extra buldge but you wont need to lose soo much cabin space.

The first photo I posted, is Martsinks photo also.

And actually, I'd love to see John's firewall, or even Renegades... I have yet to see any photos of these done. Just read up that most of the stock stuff can fit back with some mods. Like the top cover, cut out the hole for the TB/Pipe and the cover fits.
