Not sure if sarcasm or what.
Obviously misuse of words meaning MR2's use a tranverse layout, just like a FWD, but in the rear.
What do you expect for a thread like this?

In all honesty though, he might be a little green behind the ears, but if he has intentions with his car and wants ideas from all of us, it's at least our duty to steer him in the right direction, the ratio of enlightened guys to internet car forum trolls is too heavily favored to the latter. Just imagine what this thread would be like on a forum like PF or JDMST?
Criticism needs to be taken properly too though, so lets just at least keep it to a minimum, eg. explaining WHY his idea is rubbish.
I'm just as guilty as everyone else in that regard, but at least I'm giving my full explanation on how I think his build could be unique and appeal to a wider audience.

 Glad I didn't say i'd eat my hat. You'll have to restore your first post so this all makes sense now.

His mounts are spot on, they look OEM.
He's not going to give/sell/lend a template - that took him a lot of time to design.
