i dun have problem with steering rack, gearbox too (touch wood).

it's possible they have made updates but i guess it's a little too early to tell regarding engine mounts.

also there are many more pre FL than FL here so the chance of them saying they have problem is higher due to the numbers.

We're all here to help each other, the fact is the ratio of PFL vs FL imo is about 4-1 or 5-1 so obviously there is a higher chance of a PFL's mount to go wrong.

Stock engine mount on PFL is fine, I have sat a mugen one side by side and there is almost no difference.

if tru then theres a chance it doesnt mean much, with them not being as old, but that means theres also a chance they fixed the prob for FL model.

i put in engine mount inserts pretty soon after i got my car so i can't say...but yeah...nepolian probably summed it all up in a nutshell...

The fact that its a face lift just means its newer!

Either day is fine with me, just as long as its not too early if its a sunday (i.e. later than 11am).

There's some great roads down south past woolongong, but dont know how keen you all are for a road trip / cruise lol

Lookin forward to it - unfortunately missed the last one...
