solid mounts, while functional, are shitty. unless you’re hardcore and don’t have other people ride in your car ever then you shouldn’t have them.

what’s wrong with rebuilding a subframe? if you’re going to powdercoat it what difference does it make if it’s JDM? and if you’re going to powdercoat it then you’ll have to replace the subframe bushings (the oven will ruin them) powdercoating a subframe always turns into a bigger job that just “powdercoating a subframe”.

and you make putting a 2 way diff in seem like it’s free… it’s not exactly a cheap item to install.

completely disagree. don’t just go to one shop, shop around to see who actually treats you well and who has the best prices.

as for a clutch install… you’re going to tell him to pay someone to install a clutch for him, but he can make his own oil cooler? IMO it’s way easier to change a clutch.

and how can you damage a transmission by not installing a clutch correctly? other than forgetting to tighten the pressure plate bolts or something ridiculous that no one has ever done… for that matter how do you even install a clutch incorrectly? lol. as long as you tighten all of the bolts and the transmission fits back on it’s correct.

nothing against you, that post just soured me a bit.
