What did you do in terms of engine mounts? Did you fab up something original or do a conversion from a FC or FD subframe? I am very interested in what you did since I am planning on doing a GSL-SE to 20B conversion in the near future...

A 12A engine mount? This I gotta see. Most other solutions I've seen have involved using later-generation subframes or entirely custom pieces... So I'm really interested to see any solutions using stock 1st gen mounts...

Did you cut out the center section of the cross member to make clearance for the oil pan then bolt a lower cross piece into the cutout section?

When you said modify the oil pan, i thought you may have just meant with a hammer or something... It looks like you fabbed up a completely custom oil pan from the looks of it. What transmission did you use?

Dam Alex you guys have been doing some nice fad to your 1 gen. Save some energy for my 3rd gen. I may stop by the shop tomorrow to change my fuel pump. Here is an outside shot of your car
