I had a S5 front weight in my motor, ran that way for ~5 years

Ouch

ahh didn't see that part...

after you do mounts really the only place left would be clutch/flywheel area, which isn't the end of the world, just need to get in there

Yeah i hadn't planned on doing the clutch but im sure i will after the mounts. Especially if it doesn't fix the problem. I prefer the heavier pedal feel anywy.

Waiting on motor mounts. Once those come in I'll probably have them installed in about 3 weeks because im not going to have time to do it right away. Hopefully that will fix my problem.

Im really read to get rid of my power steering. Its probably all leaked out any way and makes a terrible noise...

LOL.. are you referring to my previous build thread? I really wanna buy coilovers but I think it makes more sense to take care of the powersteering first.
