Ok, it is time..

No photos yet, because I have no engine...

I am getting the engine, shipped with everything and tested from jdm-online.com for $1,500 shipped

I have a friend that will install it and do the 5 speed conversion for 775 total..

Now, I just need to get motor mounts and the r32 cross member :-)

why do you need motor mounts if you are using the xmember?

No clue, so I need one or the other, even better :-)

Which one would you prefer?

But, both are reliable, or whatever?

Where did you get yours?

mounts are flimsy flexy items, i have yet to come across a mount kit that offers the rigidity of the xmember and good mounts.

Appreciate your help..

Despite my accident, I believe I have no frame damage, so I think I will be going ahead with this.
