I was looking at the motor mounts and they do concern me from an engineering standpoint.
They are only secured by one bolt to the subframe. Allowing lateral twisting perhaps. As well where the mount secures to the motor 'plate' part of the mount. It is quite far forward of the supported portion of the mount. I am curious how they will hold up |

Same deal for tranny mount, and if it's for track work or even just some decent power upgrades it would help to reinforce the tunnel where the mounts attatch. The way it is if you get enough torque your gonna have problems lol |

I wouldn't recommend anything for an LS FRS daily. Those three words don't go together. I would however recommend it for an LS FRS. If you want a daily LS you bought the wrong car

You can daily anything if you build it right. The trick is doing it a way that you can live with. Not just overlooking annoying issues, but correcting those things. Otherwise those little annoyances you could live with in a weekend car will drive you crazy over time in a car you use everyday.

Been Dailying mine, going on 2 years no issues....dont know why anyone wouldnt, 23 mpg if i go easy. No better way to check how reliable and how things hold up, so far with my Vorshlag kit and MRS Electronics working my gauges racking up thousands of trouble free miles.Nothing better than driving a race car to work everyday, i look forward to it. Very noisy and a lot of NVH.....love it.
