Sure thing. I learn tons every time I tackle a new project

Sound like a great mod, as Paul (GTnorth?) said a year or two ago. But isn't there another compliant mount which you haven't changed? Any concern about a problem with this combination, where the engine can move in one direction but not the other?

I just posted it
Hey Doug
Remove the lower M12 nut before the top two bolts and you are good to go
You mean the transmission mount? I don't think there is an alternative at this time. I don't believe it's a problem by replacing just the two rear engine mounts

I spoke to someone at WEVO several weeks ago and that is what they told me also. They also added that there is little need to replace the mount for something else and the mounts should be considered a normal wear item and replaced from time to time. I "think" he said every 15,000 track miles or so but not 100% sure if that is correct.

I wonder if these can be retrofitted on earlier cars. Even if there can only be an on-off operation with a switch.
Anyone here knows how they work? Ie what kind of signal activates them etc?

Ordered WEVO's on Monday (great customer service), received them today (Wednesday) and installed them in 45 minutes. This must be one of the easiest mods for our cars!
Impressions:
Due to my Akrapovic Evo Race system, I did not even hear a difference on the startup though while driving I believe I sense a little more of a mechanical sound coming from the engine.
Before the exchange of the engine mounts, the engine seemed to be more isolated from the chassis and with the Wevo mounts everything seems more direct and connected and more responsive. I think these mounts elevate the character of the GT3's
So far I have only driven it for 20 miles in the local area and I love it, I highly endorse this upgrade, thanks mikymu!
