+3 on the mani. The AC/ stabilization bracket on the front side of the motor.... if you take it off, does it fit? I had to take mine off to fit my T25 because the wastegate hit the bracket. I talked to some folks out at our local race shops, and they all take them off their civic's as the front stabilization mount does not do a ton.

It isn't actually a motor mount. It is more of a stabilization mount for the AC and some side to side sway in corners. I researched it before I took mine off. I notice no difference in driving and I have had it off for 5 months now. If you are worried, just buy some motor mount inserts and that will stiffen things up. Honestly, when you take that bracket off... you will realize it ain't no motor mount. That rubber on the end of the bracket is like jelly... take it off and you will see. Vibration reducer at best... at best!
