Nice car.....

ive been thinking about buying one myself.......

One word of advice though, your passenger side engine mount looks to have been welded a bit low, you can see it because the whole engine is sagging towards that side ... It would be a good idea to get that fixed as the angle that motor is on means that the passenger side driveshaft seal on the gearbox wont last as long as it would if the motor were sitting straight ..... I had the same problem in my GSR until I swapped to an EVO mount. :wink: Not hard to fix either :)

This is good advice.

Mine was the same (originally used a CB mount for my GSR). Once I had the E3 mount in the car, gearshifts were a lot more positive, and it elimiated a fair whack of torque steer.

Love it! I always liked the little GTI's, is yours a limited edition model?

hi there mate..car looks great...i had the same setup with my mounts in the gsr and the car had a shocking vibration as the transfer case would touch on the cross member.
