They are far from the same.90IntegraC1 said:
90 integra weighs 2544 to 2628
92 prelude vtec weighs 2809 to 2932
not only that, but the chassis, suspension... its all different. So they are real far from being the same.

yeah you'd be in the high 13's, low 14's with that fixed...that's damn good.
ha, the clearence issue is what he was talking about? haha this is the only clearence issue right here: this is straight from the motor mount website:
The picture above shows where we had to heat up with a torch and slightly dent the rear crossmember in order to gain clearance for the transmission filler plug. As you can see we clearanced it a lot more than necessary. When we first mocked up and experimented with different engine locations, we at one time had the engine set back farther and at a different angle. But after many hours of adjusting the mock up kit, this was the best setup. So you will not have to clearance near as much as we have done. The best way to determine what clearance is needed is to bolt up the driver side mount and then level and angle the motor to the specs that we provide in the kit. This will show you how much and where you need clearance and also where you must locate the passenger side chassis mount.

i just want the jdm one-piece ones, but they're like $600 so that might not be in the near future. i also want the amber turn signel housings for the front.
