Ohhh ok got it. So it's on that side of the engine. I see it now. So I would have to remove the washer fluid container and the part of the air intake tube to get to it right?

I was able to prop my washer fluid container up high enough to get at the mount and swap it. You'll want to take the intake stuff out of your way, but that is not too difficult.

Sweet. That doesn't seem too difficult at all. Looks like this will be my next mod. I'm just waiting for my rear TTR sway bar. After that comes in I'll order the mount. I was gonna get a aeroforce interceptor gauge but it looks like this is a better move for now.

Just ordered mine. I couldn't wait. Got it in a little red and black combo should look good in the engine bay. With this and the TTR sway bar I hope to feel the diffrence :)

It will feel different, I promise. The mount is awesome, the bar not so much but it will steer different, push in the turns, but flat as hell.

Oh ok,but I'm still trying to picture what this "push" everyone is talking about. It's hard for me to visualize, but I guess I'll find out in a few days when the sway bar gets here, but wouldn't the engine mount fix whatever this "push" issue is?

Push meaning hold the rear end flat wheel to wheel, a lot like a solid axle go cart.

Point of a sway bar, is as a wheel "tries" to travel up (or down), it pulls the other side up (or down) with it, so they are both at the same level...

Oh ok. I think I get it now. This wouldn't cause any unesesary stress on the front end right? Should I be worried about something snapping at the front end?

Push means you will need to over steer to get it around corners, I didn't learn this untill I removed my TTR swaybar, personally I think the car handles better with out it. The motor mount I wouldn't give it back if you paid me double for it.

Nothing will snap/break in the front end...

The Eibach front sway bar can help balance it out.
