good guesses, but still no. I will say that I had nothing to do with the way it was damaged.

FC engine mount, it's bent from taking the tranny off without supporting the engine.

Engine mount, left side of the car (driver side USDM, or pass JDM), NOT From the FC because the coolant drain plug is on the wrong side. Mine was on the backside of the mount (if you hold the mount facing you, the right hole) whereas yours is the left hole.



Leading me to believe this is an engine mount from a 12A or a 20B as I have never seen either of those engines and would assume that

How did it get that way? Shipping a JDM engine I will say.



If that's incorrect, then its from a driver side collision.

Its an RHD FC drivers side engine mount. I have hever seen one bent like that, so I would have to say the car was in a bad wreck.

It's an Fc JDM pass. side engine mount.



How it got that way is a tricky one.



I'd say that the engine was not in a car and was dropped. Maybe the palet it was shipped on was dropped?

BINGO!! That was my exact conclusion. But I actually narrowed it to that fact that it was a collistion becuase the mechanical fan was broken (clutch was shattered) and one of the oil feed lines was bent as well.



I narrowed it down to the driver's side because it looks as if the drivetrain shifted to the drivers side very violently, with enough force to mangle the engine mount. Which brought this jdm series 5 rx7 to it's demise.



I'm not sure what your talking about when you say your coolant drain was in a different place fingers, becuase I took my engine mount off of my a-spec series 4 to replace it, and it fit fine??



Regardless you won so pm me your address and I'll send them out tomorrow.



Thanks to everyone for participating, and mazdaspeed7, and rx7_re if you want you can pm me your address I'll send you at least one of the above, but it won't be for another week.
