Changing engine mounts
Hi, considering a set of semi solid mounts, how easy are they to change ? Is it a shop job or could I do it? I have a lift and good set of tools.....

Because I over-simplified my response earlier as I was on my mobile device...I'll add a little more detail.
the 3 bolts per side...there are 2 13mm bolts on the top of each mount and then from the bottom you will need to remove the nut from the stud that passes through the chassis. It's either an 18 or 19mm bolt on the bottom and you'll need a deep sell socket for that nut.
It's going to be easier on the top if you remove the airbox which won't add much time at all and is well worth the effort of taking out for the extra access it provides.
I had Wevo mounts on my old C2. Still have stock mounts in the GT3.
Wevo and RSS are two I would look at.

I put in rennline solid mounts with a hd trans mount.
add in the cup cables to that and Makes it perfect for not having to listen the wife complain about taking the gt3. But my 8 year old absolutely loves it, doubles as a school bus!
chose version your comfortable with.

Yes, it is pretty easy to do since I was able to fix mine. See my posts for more of the details. I have some pictures.

Just my opinion but I went with RSS after having the 964 part number RS mounts and much prefer the RSS.
