I got a bit of a dilema, aparently my motorset didnt come with the brackets that attach from the engine block to the actual motor mount. I was wondering if you anyone had any or if I could use one from another car possibly the CA18ET. BTW my CA is RWD incase you guys werent sure.

ca18et/ca20e s12 mounts would work... kinda

thats a yes and a no. They use different motor mounts that bolt on with two bolts instead of the 1 on top like the s13 mounts. However they use the same one bolt bottom one that bolts to your crossmember and they'll bolt right to your ca18det block. So you can use a CA18ET metal bracket with a CA18ET liquid filled motor mount.

that being said, the CA18ET liquid filled mounts are pure crap and expensive as hell.

FWD ca18de pulsar mounts won't work either. You're pretty much screwed man. Get out the welder and make some new brackets! Sean

is it possible to modify the CA18ET bracket to work with the regular S13 mounts.
