i thought id make a post about this, since a lot of people that know me, hear me bitching about this from day one.
ever since my swap, my car would pull to one side anytime i would give it gas. im happy to report the problem is fixed now. i swaped over to the correct 5sfe motor mount bracket and installed new motor mounts for the front and rear with the rear one filled with polyurethane, i also found out that my lower control arm was loose. i went out for a drive and all seems well now.... it still slightly drifts to the right when i just let go off the wheel, but its very minor and i think it can be fixed by an alignment. i also still need to test the car at highway speeds.... but so far everything feels great ! -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

oh and let me tell u this ...polyurethane motor mounts rock! the best part is that as soon as you tap the throttle, even lightly, you feel the car put your in your seat. also, a lot of the torque steer i was having has been greatly reduced and i get no vibration at idle like i was afriad i would.
