What about the transmission? Do you need to change the clutch yet or upgrade it? It's probably out too?

He's got an auto, so no need for a clutch.
Only the motor is out, so the fuel pump wouldn't be (nearly) free labor.

exactly.
Can you give me the P/N of the thermostat? Or if you'd like to sell it...

Pulley and belts I'll install at a later time at my local shop because it'll be cheaper
Motor/transmission mounts... Thought about those.
My warranty will cover the rubber ones when they fail
My questions are:
What is the REAL purpose? Yes I know that there will be less delay because the rubber flexes, and people say it helps put the power down (or something to that effect) but wouldn't that be temporary until the rubber flex is maxed out?
And if you lock down the transmission (or motor) with solid mounts, do you NEED the other mount?
Example: If I install a trans mount, that will be solid. The motor is BOLTED to the transmission. How much will it them move? Or will it then just put extra stress on the trans mount?
Also, if you were to buy one or the other, which one, and WHY?

I HIGHLY doubt it, but I'll check and see if it's REALLY worth it to me
And I don't think I'd do the Nismo oil pump due to cost.
