Thanks Jared!!!!

Haha, I will write an Installation guide for motor mounts tomorrow when I feel a bit inclined to type. I understand your busy Jared, I will try and help you out as much as possible, (getting all my reviews in order) I hope to get some good info out there shortly.

It is looking good guys!!!

Keep it up, we are looking for any input you have on parts we have yet to list. This includes misc. Exhaust systems like Borla. I believe Jared could just plug them in the same post as my vibrant review to keep things somewhat together.

^_^

Motor Mount Instructions

Ok, simply follows these instructions and you will have a new set of motor mounts in a jiff!!
1.) Grab a jack and using a piece of wood (or anything to disperse weight… I used like 5 magazines ), put the jack below the oil pan. Jack it up to where it will support the weight of the engine. BE CAREFUL NOT TO JACK IT UP TOO FAR!! The goal is to allow for easy installation, and it gets a bit tedious when your having to match the wholes for the bolts… After Jacking and securing your engine, you are free to start anywhere you wish.
2.) I started up top with the upper engine mount. Simply unbolt the bolt holding the engine mount in place. It is firmly in there so a bit of muscle is needed.

3.) You need to cut away some of the old rubber to make it fit. For this, you simply need to place the insert in and see where it is being stopped and cut it away.

4.) After you have the insert in, and using some loctite, place the engine bolt back in and tighten it back in.

5.) The Lower mount is a bit of a PAIN! The only thing that’s different, and a PAIN is the plastic fender wells. You need to take it off, bolts being up underneath the vehicle with some plastic tabs every here and there. Do not try the installation without trying to take the plastic fender wells off, you will fail miserably. That’s IT!! Good Luck!

You should do a review on cam gears or intake manifoldsnext. And maybe even things you could do to the inside of your motor like pistons, rods, valves, valve springs, etc. How about reviews on clutches lol.

Yeah I'll get to things like that later on, but for the moment I want to get all the "bolt-ons" done first and get some basic instructions up...

So what else needs a review. Don't say how to mod your headlights to fit projectors in them. Because its not very easy, and neither would be writing a review. LOL. I may be able to review something else depending on what it is.

Indeed, I think we have the basics covered now, we just need some more install instructions...once we have that done we can focus on expanding the knowledge base per item by adding more detailed information and starting with more complex things like cams, pistons/rods, heads, intake manifolds, ITB's, MS, etc...

If you can think of anything we missed but dont feel like writing an overview for just let me know and I'll see what we can do. Haha I just want that other sticky deleted...
