drive-line installation

After the gearbox arrived, we threw together a mock up motor and started positioning the drive-line. The RX-8 has a very different engine bay layout than any of the other previous rotary powered vehicles.  Althought  It took some time , we got it wedged in there. I have to say i think it looks rather appropriate.
