Default Engine Stabilizer

I was pondering the idea of fabricating an engine stabilizer "mount" for my b18a. Something that would bolt to the firewall and connect to a bracket I would fab up for the head. The "Shock" bushing could be made out of polyurethane or hard rubber. My engine likes to move around alot on hard take offs and sometimes my downpipe hits the front crossmember. I got the idea from my brothers S70...

Here are a couple of pics.... I circled it in yellow in the first pic (kinda hard to see) you can see it a little better in the second pic.

They make something similar for the RSX and new Civic.
Its just a shock that connects to the top of the motor to dampen engine flex.

That's the sort of thing i'm looking for, but I think $190 is a little steep. Plus they dont make one for the DA. I was looking to find that dampener thing and fab up my own brackets...
