The mounts are completely custom, with plenty of hood clearance and ground clearance unlike other mounts in EG’S. Placement of the engine is tight but leaves plenty of room for the a/c compressor or rear mounted turbo??? The engine angle is as close to 90 degrees with respect with the chassis as possible leaving a max CV axle angle at 10 degrees unlike 20+ degrees with other mounts in EG’s. The car runs and drives awesome with a deep V6 growl and shifting the 6 speed is ultra smooth. More pics and a video to follow!"

So did hasport copy this for their new mounts? The ones where they can be flipped for hood clearance.

So you want proof of the following:
  • That it is the first documented swap with power steering?
  • That the mounts are custom and provide hood and ground clearnace?
  • That placement is tight?
  • The engine angle is close to 90 degrees?
  • The mounts keep CV angles low?
  • The car runs and drives awesome?
  • The car has a deep growl?
  • The transmission shifts smooth?
Try to find another with power steering. You can see the hood clearance - it closes. Of course the placement is tight. They put a much larger (exterior dimension) engine in the same place as the smaller stock engine. Look at the gif file to see the engine angle. If other mount kits place the engine higher of course the CV angle with be greater. How could it not run and drive awesome? It drives like a CL in a Civic. It's got to be quick. Deep growl is a generic way to describe the engine note. Of course it's deep when compared to the stock engine. I've never driven a 6-speed TL/CL so I can't comment on the transmission, but I'm sure its shifts just fine.

Now quit being an ass.


EDIT: Yes, I've seen this car in person multiple times. It exists. It drives. The parts appear to be high quality. Fobby and Gene are standup guys. They're not the type to lie on this forum. They've both helped me numerous times.

I dont know Fobby and Gene, so I dont have the opportunity you have had to see the car, hence why I am asking for pictures.

There are tons of pictures. It's obvious that it exists. Do you need to see pictures with a protractor to prove the CV angle? Or pictures with a level on the intake manifold?
