        Well i am hoping that i will get a chance to install them tomorrow. Well hoping al the parts are in by tomorrow morning and i can get to installing. I will try and take some pics but my g/f cameras battery is dead and she cannot find the charger but i will see what i can do. I just wanna have my car back driveable. I hate that i didnt catch it until it cut my radiator hose. Im hoping i got the right hose to replace it and that i can get everything done before i go into work (at 6:30) so i will probably have 4-5 hours to do it..oh shit just forgot that i gotta either go buy a new floor jack or try and find a friend tomorrow to borrow. Anyways will let you know

            I didn't take the time to read most of this thread, but all I understand is that your car likes to eat motor mounts for some reason, so I thought it'd be worth mentioning this:

            When I took my car to Ryan's shop we discovered that whoever the PO of my car was installed the motor mounts of my car in the wrong hole and that was what caused them to bust. There's a regular hole and then there's a slightley longer hole in which the motor mount can slide back and forth and obviously break after a short while.

            So just make sure you're putting it in the regular hole and not the other one, no homo. I know it's pretty obvious advice but I just thought it was worth mentioning.

                  finally got done with everything.. Wow with these mounts i notice so much change. when shifting ; much smoother not motor jerks. when just gassing motor feels much intact w/ chassis and again smoother feel..

                  only thing is when adjusting clutch and gas or when i turn my steering wheel(sometimes brings up rpm like a little little.. i the steeringwheel / other parts of my car vibrate(not shake) for a lil sec..

                  but in the end im totally happy with it.. every easy to install
                  just had a cherry picker lift it up and put the new ones in and tighten it and thats it.
