Does anyone make a urethane or stronger engine mount for the g50 q45? Or something i can adapt relatively easily? I was going to work with some energy transmission mounts i bought at the local parts store and fabricate a custom set of mounts from that if not.

Also, has anyone tried it install a skid plate made for a s13 on a q45 with success? excessive makes one,, just checking...

The skid plate for the S13, What does it cover? I would be interested in something that covers the engine oil pan.

Xcessive Manufacturing Skid Plate for S14 modified to fit.

S14 skid plate was shorter so I added a flat steel plate to extend. Holes were drilled and tapped on the crossmember and the front of the car to mount the plate. I also drilled a hole for the oil drain plug.

Steel plate added:
