As for the front wheels off, you will have more room to move around there, more light too.

yep it was me that busted the HCV.. now I just take it loose from firewall..

I've bought a couple parts from jp-genuine on eBay before (strut bar and transmission mount) and they were indeed genuine.

I bought my engine mounts for 99LS online from Japan, OEM,
advertised as an updated version for VVTI
They were $114 a piece plus shipping, I think.

You must have bought 12361-50140 . $114 is so so since the current price in Japan is as follows.

JPY 10,900 Without Tax
JPY 11,772 With Tax

It used to be 12361-50100 but it was changed to 12361-50140 in Nov. 1997 aiming to match newer VVTi engine.

Man,

Knowing that they have 3 different part number that serve the same job and have later build dates typically say they were revised for either cost improvements or engineering improvements. It’s a shame to not know what they changed. I work in the engineering world and that typically the case.

A Few Years Later...

I’ve been working on my ‘97 Coach, fixing the prior owner’s neglect etc. Replaced a bunch of suspension stuff, alignment, tune up, valve covers and so on and on. But it’s still not right. Just has that wonky, gyroscopic, unplanted feel out on the road. Starting cheap and easy, I replaced the trans. mount last night but the behavior still persists. When I got home today I popped the hood and torqued the driveline up. Damn...surprised there’s not a dent in the hood! Looks like the drivers side mount is broken and the passenger side must be about the same. Nice to feel good about spending a bunch of money, but knowing it’ll fix the problem. I ordered them from Bell Lexus on eBay for $240. Looking forward to having them installed soon.
