13b swap
when you do a 13b swap into a 12a chassis, can you use the engine mount from a gsl-se? i have heard some people say you can't and some people say you can. i don't know who do believe and i don't want to buy one from racingbeat if i can get one used. please help me. thanks.

You can use the GSL-SE front mount just fine, or just oval out the holes in your 12A mount (extend them back a bit) and reuse it. It's not tough.
