This photo shows the clutch master cylinder access hole after it has been opened up. As you can see, when I was opening up this hole, it was easy for the grinding bit to walk out of the hole and scrape the paint. I suggest grinding a little bit and test fitting the new Wilwood clutch master cylinder until it slides cleanly through the widened hole. Then debur the modified hole. I lightly sanded the area, cleaned it and applied a coat of primer and red paint to match the existing body paint pri

Once each of the subframe mounting bolt welds have been ground down. You can use a impact wrench to break these bolts free of the chassis. I used a old electric impact wrench for this and the welds broke free without much resistance

The next order of business is to remove the subframe mounting/alignment pins from the engine compartment chassis. You need to do this to enable movement of the subframe while it is in close proximity to the chassis during reinstallation. Since these subframe mounting pins are tack welded to the chassis, you need to lightly grind down the tack welded region. You want to remove most of the weld but you don't want to cut into the chassis.

Whether you have the automatic or manual transmission version of the RX8, you will get a new Wilwood clutch master cylinder as a part of the swap kit. This part is required because the Camaro six speed manual transmission clutch throwout bearing actuator requires more hydraulic force than the RX8 clutch master cylinder can manage. However, the Wilwood master cylinder requires a slightly larger access hole. So, you will need to open up the existing access hole about 1/8 of an inch.

This photo shows the an overall view of the modified engine compartment after much of the charges had been made. It is obvious here that the insulation/sound cover has been removed. The engine compartment cleaned up nicely as shown in this photo. Additionally, you can see that the brake power booster, brake master cylinder and antilock/traction control brake system module have been removed.

Location and illustration of the wind shield washer reservoir. Note: There appear to be multiple versions of this part so your part may look slightly different than this one. This part is removed to make room for the new engine coolant reservoir that is provided as a part of the LFX swap kit.

This is a parts breakdown of the RX8 air pump assembly. We really only need a few parts from this. Those include the air pump bracket 13-920, the resistor 18-831, and the rubber mounting hardware 13-331A, 13-343, 13-363, and 9973-0508

Picture of many of the parts removed from the engine bay. Lower far right are the coolant hoses. Side those is the windshield washer reservoir. Above the hoses are the RX8 coil packs and plug wires, and some pulley belts. Above that is the battery box. To the left of those are the intake airbox hardware. Directly below the airbox are the airpump and electronic control box hardware. Most of the rest of the hardware are interior console, and trim hardware. Except for the spare tire kit, and the

The original engine has obviously been removed. However you can also see that the inlet airbox, radiator and cooling fans have been removed. The battery box. and electrical control box have been removed from the front passenger side of the engine bay. The air pump assembly and it's control have been removed from the tower strut area on the passenger side of the engine bay. Finally, the wind shield washer fluid reservoir has been removed from the passenger side firewall.

Top down view of my subframe after installation of the steering assembly and new anti-sway bar. While I have removed the original engine mount guide brackets and ground down the surface, I have not primed and painted the surface or installed the new poly engine mounts.

Picture showing the passenger side poly engine mount (supplied in the swap kit) installed in the subframe. At this stage of the process, the engine mount bolts are left loose to enable easier installation of the LFX engine. Once the LFX engine is installed on the engine mounts, the engine mount bolts can be torqued down.
