DXS: speak to damo from easternhonda, he should be able to confirm it, as i get all my honda parts through him an he has all the sir part numbers. or ring up a another honda spare parts, and ask for the part numbers.. you will need to give them your vin number tho cos its a import etc.
Dylanamus: you dont have to drop the engine out completly to change the mounts.. as already said, jack up the car, lift the engine up slightly with crane and you can access the front and both sides mounts. the rear one you cant tho, cos of the bolt pattern.. theres one that sits just behind the actual mount, which requires the engine out (still a bitch to get to tho)or drop out the supporting beam(not sure what its called, it runs along the back underneath the firewall.
i changed all my mounts with out removing the engine or rear crossmember just one bolt on the rear mount is abit tricky to get and for the front one drop the front cross member and it should come out easily
i bought custom engine mounts for my B16A conversion on my concerto, the OEM mounts are almost identical to the EF/ED, but i wanted a stiffer and race look. so i bought custom mounts.
Try giving Jim a call from Online Performance in Sydney and he can hook u up with custom local mounts.
they dont look as good as the hasports but they do the job.
Its full poly and its red and blue in colour.
the only downfall is u may get some vibrations but in the cabin give u a race feeling.
When u rev hard , or on idle u dont see ANY engine movements at all.
if u get the EF/ED Kit to B series, you can use on either B16A/B18C engines on the same kit.
well there are various options..
i have found sites which show people removing all the rubber and then filling with a polyurethane..
but basically, i am not willing to pay 400 for mounts.. when i can DIY with stock mounts for 1/8th of the price and probably get almost the same result...
but anyway here is a pic of the EF8 setup for reference
