DIY, its not too difficult, Just a few basic hand tools and jack stands.

If you do it yourself, you'll learn more about your car too.

Nah T1 doesn't like installing innovative engine mounts, they'll charge you around +$400!!!

Go Bel Garage or something, around $250.

wow thats not real cheap, i got a quote of 135 from the guy who installed my coilovers. even better nepolian is gonna give me a hand tomorrow for a bit of cash and some coronas ill put up some pics and some first impressions when i take it for a spin tomorrow.

Never said it was cheap, after all they are a workshop which they need to make a living from.

Nothing beats the price of DIY. But some people like me which has no idea on cars, except driving it.

so i got the mounts installed yesterday, the car is completely different haha. the biggest difference you feel is how tight the cart feels and how smooth and tight the shifts feel. it is quite noisy straight after install but they will settle in a little bit, car feels like a beast now .

big thanks to nepolian who helped me out with the install, top guy.

yeh they are billets, i didnt really see sending the rear mount back to california as an option though lol.

well, if you bought them from a local dealer, get them to sort out that logistical stuff for you. Thats why you pay a higher price locally in case of waranties and problems


If you do a bit more research you will find that they have made a few revisions on the mounts and if its the same problem that you are having as the CRSX guys. You have the old mounts before they fixed it. (The mounts have to be pretty old though)
