Fingers crossed my new motor mounts should be here this week and I can put everything back together. Then I need to mess with the ride height.

Awesome pics!! Were you installing the header by yourself? And I can't wait to see this car in person, once again. Been way too long

Yeah installing it by myself and I am working on it! My mounts just got here today!

Also only on a box from Japan would you have some crazy maths scribbled on the box. Probably the secret to inter dimensional travel. Jesse Streeter came through on these for me. Highly recommend his services.

Well I couldn't stop myself from trying to get the spoon mounts installed last night. Got the motor mounts in but still have to do the new trans mount and bracket. Then I'll finish bolting up the header, heat shield and test pipe.

Got around to putting the transmission mount and bracket in this weekend and also got the header and test pipe in. Drove it around today. Love that smell of new parts. So chemically.

Here is the comparison of the OEM mount and the Spoon mount. Super easy install. Thinking I am going to pick up the Spoon diff mounts as well so everything is the same compound. More projects are incoming and maybe another new ASM part. Trying to get the car ready as I think I am going to see if I can get it in for Wekfest Seattle but we will see. I need to detail it the interior and engine bay in particular are dirty.

I had imgur resize the image tell me if that is nicer to look at and I'll do it going forward.

Car is in the shop getting some work done. Act PP, Act Streetlite Flywheel, new OEM clutch with oem hardware bearings etc.

Love new parts. I should have taken pics of the PP and flywheel but didn't want to take them out of the packaging. It might take a while to break in the new clutch given how little I drive the car.

My Spoon diff mounts also arrived. Along with a huuuuggggeee box

I recently had the exact same clutch and flywheel setup installed on my car and I’m very pleased with how it feels. Pedal feel, engagement point and driveability is perfect.

Didn't opt for the 8lb flywheel? Loved mine on the AP1 and I feel like it didn't take away too much driveability. But then again, any flywheel is a huge upgrade from that boat anchor. Car was as clean as I remembered it when I saw it last weekend!
