Read about this Flexible rubber to use in the mounts for a good DIY polyurethane susbstitute. (sp?)
The crap that is highlighted... its supposed to be extra stiff and makes for a solid mount. Its 94a, and they make an 80, and a 60 for those that want less vibration and a closer OEM stock rubber feel vs. the rigid rubber I shal be using.
I think I got the link for the SRT forums off of here, but it might have been another forum.... these guys have used it with good results, and I figure I will be making similar power to those m0par bitches...

Oh and I am gonna move my redtop to the trunk for more weight in the ass end... I remember reading that the MX-3s have funky weight distribution that puts more up front. Since I want to handle as well as zoom, I am striving for that 50/50 distribution.

Brembo blanks
Spal 2360 CFM slim fan for the civic rad,

Got the brembo's on last nite and finished up cleaning up the mounts... I'll probably have them all urethaned up by the weekend. Since I am there, I am probably gonna do some of the v6 mounts that I took off...
I have late night classes until 9, so I cant do much on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the rest of the time I spend at work (6 days a week) Saturday is my only day off, and I try to get up early and work all day to get as much done.
Its a slow process, but I do what I can day by day.

hey thanks for the comments, i'm running stock boost right now...my 2nd gear synchro is shot so i'm gonna pull the motor again next summer and get a tranny rebuild and hopefully throw in an LSD.
i only have one motor mount filled right now (front tranny). at first you will notice more vibration around 2250 RPM but after a week you will get used to it.
anyone have any idea about how much a tranny rebuild costs? anything i can do to beef it up a little more, besides an LSD?
you putting that GTX into a V6 frame? i heard it is quite a bit harder than putting it into an I4 like mine...hopefully all goes well.
