that is really clean ^^

 

the guy at innovative, Jim, don't try to deal with him. He's impossible. he lied to, ignored, and didn't care at all about me. First off, the advertising they do on the "Replacement" crossmember is completely incorrect. Jim told me that they sit just as high as the stock crossmember and this is what i got:

the only reason i ordered it though was because i ordered their cable-hydro conversion. another poorly advertised (and designed) item. they didn't mention that u either need to use their crossmember or cut about 2.5 inches into the stock one. Also didn't mention anything about needing a slim radiator fan with the kit either.

He gave me the "runaround" for about 3 months saying he was going to fix this situation for me. talked a good game and kept me happy after every phone call, but never once came through and did what he said he would do.

It also doesn't help their case that once i got the car together i CONSTANTLY had problems with the cable-hydro kit. I've since changed to HASport's kit, and everything has always worked GREAT.

this is what you should expect your mounts to look like after 6500 miles or so of daily driving, and maybe racing once a week during the summer months:


So moving on to another story about this "anything but innovative" company. A friend of mine bought the h22 swap mounts from them. They didn't come with a word of instructions. Don't you think that when you have grind a mount off, cut some holes, mount new brackets and **** that they should come with at least a picture of the mounts installed or something? i know when i bought my HASport mounts, they came with 4 pages of instructions. Not to mention the transmission rubs the hell out of the frame rail.

So I've had three experiences with them, and all three were terrible. Some involved poorly made products, some involved poor customer service and some included both.

 

just thought i would share the good news. im super excited. i just got approved for my small business loan and will be opening my shop by the end of the month!!!

I am not sure, I just got it and it is manual.

Comparing my picture to this picture, on the inner body by the end of the trans it is cut out but mine has a flat peice of metal.

Maybe mine was an auto....

Grey mount bushings. Car was originally a light blue color(not sure on actual color name) but outside has a crappy white paint job.

 

My innovative auto to manual mount fits perfect

 

what is the difference between the auto and manual engine bays that would require a different type of mount?

Also how can I tell if my DA used to be an automatic?

The auto tranny bracket that is welded to the frame is slightly higher then the manual one. As in finding out if your DA use to be auto I guess you could break down the vin #

 

The mount is a dead giveaway....also look at the hole where the clutch cable goes through, its usually pretty easy to tell if its been drilled or is oem.
