Anyone have installation instructions for Cusco Engine and Tranny Mounts that are in English? The japanese instructions that came with the kit are pretty much worthless. Even the diagrams are too small for me to try and decipher the meaning.

 

you only need to jack the engine up and inch or so and swap them. take out your pitching rod under the intercooler to help move the engine easier. the exhaust manifolds may have to come off but their only bolts and the parts only fit one way.

 

You don't need instructions. They go in one way. Just a heads up, you will rattle your teeth out with them.

 

I guess I should have been more specific. I know how to put in GroupN engine mounts. The instructions that came with the Cusco's seem to indicate (it's really small ) that you re-use the metal plates from the stock mounts. Can anyone confirm this?

 

They're actually not that bad at all. I had Subaru Specialists put them in this afternoon. (great deal and I didn't have to lay under the car for 4 hours like when I put the GroupN's in the WRX) I really like the feedback from the engine. The noise might be alittle much with the stock exhaust, but I don't have the stock exhaust . I didn't get to run it out as much as I would have liked since it was pouring down rain outside, but my initial impressions are good.

 

Were the metal plates re-used during the install?

I checked under there this morning and they were indeed re-used.

 

Thanks. Looking forward to the new and improved mod pages.

I'm working on it. This Dreamweaver program takes some getting used to. I tried starting with a template, but the free ones I found were not all that great.

 

Of course you have to reuse the plates. They are used to bold the engine mount to the engine with the 2 14mm bolts.
