Where else would you mount it? Inside the car? Rear hatch?

there is sooo much info about this..... but basically u need to reslot the engine mounts due to the 13b being 20mm longer or sometin like that. And a 12a front cover needs to go on the 13b, unless you get the 13b one modified like the 13bT I'm gettnig has done to it. I'm gonna have a full pic break down of my install. woot! This weekend work commences hopefully, cant wait!@#

The one in the rear runs to the front for FWD.
