They are the ES Motor Mount Inserts, can anybody tell me about swapping them out? I can't get the clam shell apart.

joe i tried to send you a pm but you box is full.

you have to drill ALL the rivets out of the clam shell
then put the ES mount in the shell and use the bolts included to secure it back down.

you will like the poly mount

That's your tranny mount, not the engine mount

Thanks Jesse Thats what I thought, but just making shure. Sorry to hear about the stripped out bolt. Are you going to have to retap it? Hopefully I will have my car ready for the track on sunday I am hoping for 12's but that might be a little optimistic Thanks again

Yes I will be runnin open headers to the track at the track and all the way back . My best before was 13.6@105 with a 2.19 60' on street tires. Thats with full slowfaster exhaust. If I can get a few runs in with of my budys nitto 555R's I think I will definitly see high 12's.
