Went right into gear and the tires rip off second gear. NICE. Install was a bitch as the studs are longer on the RE mounts compared to the stock ones. This makes it tricky. I used a angled Craftsman 3/8 ratchet to get to the top mount bolts. No exhaust removal, just took down part of the heatshield. 45 minutes including jacking car.

You need to remove the tranny crossmember first then loosen the top mount bolts.
Mousitch, do you have a modified CDV as well?
