Just use the 3 hasport mounts, and leave the front mount off.

When I had my B16 I used Hasports 3 mounts and used HCP front mount, worked good except for the fact that it vibrated the **** out of car

The HAsport is a stand alone system,no need for the other mounts.

In theory, would 3 mount systems shake (vibrate the car) more than a 4 mount system?

I've been running a b16a1 ef w/hasport mounts for almost three years now. No problems with only three mounts.

drill out the spot welds and use a hammer and a chisle dont use an air hammer it will cut right thru your front cross member like butta, take the cross member off and do it on a bench then when you are finnished weld up all the holes grind it flat and bamm you have a clean jdm look
