Just picked up my first “stock” s2000, a 2007 nfr super clean! Went to do my first oil change and noticed that the previous owner cut the mounts for the subframe. Why would someone do this and what mods should I do to take advantage of someone else’s work haha

 

Those are engines mounts. That's the stopper. That's how they are.

You can modify the car or you can keep it stock. The world is your oyster.

 

I dont see anything wrong here. it looks all stock. Care to repost the pictures with a highlight or arrow pointing to what I may be missing.

 

I think he means the notch in the stopper.

 

Perhaps it had a pretty wicked offset of wheels?

 

Low offset wheels don't have any effect on engine mounts. You could be running an ET +1 and it'll just mean the portion that bolts onto the hub is going to be thicker.

 

Lol, I'll take "keyboard warriors for $500, Jim"

At some point, your negative offset wheels will hit internal components. While you argue about +1ET wheels, there's some idiot trying to apply -45ET wheels. Cutting a spring perch isn't new, and I've never once heard of a reason to cut, other than wheels. If you have a better suggestion, we are all ears.

 

negative offset wheels are further OUT not IN.

what are you talking about

 

Someone found the SHIFT key!

The answer remains the SAME, just corrected for MISUNDERSTANDING. Perhaps the previous owner ran a crazy width or offset that resulted in cutting the spring perch. Maybe I'm just the village idiot. Good with either, just trying to help.

 

The images are of engine mounts, not spring perches, and they look untouched
