ohh this is tickling me in all the right spots

I demand MOAR NAO!!!

LOLz at your trans mounts, was there any vibration/kick back when changing gears??

The shifter moved back and forth when I shifted and there was lots of clunking. They looked dry rotted, but you really have to jack up the motor to see the true condition.

I know! I cant believe that the engine didn't just take off at a light and leave the car behind!

1. those tranny mounts were fucked.
2. those motor mount arms - omfg.
3. BBS RS + coils = hawt sauce win.

I like your style man! Keep up the good work.

Hey your trans mounts are doing an awesome job of mounting the trans!

When I got under my car to take the m42 out my mounts were similar to this as well as the guibo.

Speaking of...



So I got excited with the ease at which the tranny mounts in, so I decided to tackle the motor mounts. Of course, I didnt have a engine lift, so I used a piece of wood and supported the engine with a jack stand. After lowering the subframe, I saw this:





and this: a cracked motor arm. It looks as if someone tried to weld it. I'll be picking one up from the junkyard as soon as possible.




Everything finally got it mounted up. I had to take the passenger side mount arm off and replace it.
