omg vipers...I just took a shower and now I have to change my pants because of you lol.

You think you could email me at ck1ck3nn5yrup@aol.com as many pics of your car as possible for inspiration. My t2 is going through troubling times and I'm a college kid so I need some hope and inspiration right now.

Your my hero for that clean FC.

Ummm, do you have the means to fabricate the custom motor mounts?
Also, there are very few people with FD engines in the FC, so it might be a bit before someone posts some pics.
Here's soem good info on it in case you ahven't seen it: http://fc3spro.com/TECH/SWAP/FD3S/rew.html
