Now that all of the welding was done, the Ronin Speedworks Ford 8.8 IRS Mount was complete.
We removed the differential and sent the subframe off for powder coating.
Specialized Coatings in Huntington Beach, CA did a great job powder coating our subframe. We had them finish it in Dark Grey Sparkle, which turned out amazing.
The durable finish is very smooth, and really transformed the look and feel of the subframe.
The inner Reinforcement Plates now blend nicely into the entire subframe. It’s difficult to know that they are even there.
The outer Reinforcement Plates also are difficult to notice.

This is vastly superior to any other 8.8 conversion I have seen for this car. Now to convince Jeff to do this to Project V8 FD!
We are spoiled to have so many updates on this amazing project lately! Keep up the hard work.
Great write-up and an impressive kit.
Although, it seems the support bridge could be easily revisioned to be at least half an inch lower so it wouldn’t necessitate beating up your pristine RX-7-s body.
Damn, great progress. 🙂
still loving the fact that this went from rest-mod to restless-mod.
been following from the beginning.
