Yesterday, while Tassi, Inc. in Colma, I spotted a Eurospec converted on the
lift. It's not uncommon to see this in Tassi's shop because they did quite a
few of them for Eurospec. I noticed an extra angle iron bracket welded to the
left side engine carrier equipped with what appeared to be a Golf engine
mount. Asked the guy who did the  conversions, he said that this customer had
complained about excessive noise after the conversion. They tried every such
thing including a custom exhaust pipe which which seems to satisfy most other
customers. No luck with this guy until this engine mount solution. Apparently
this did the trick. BTW, this thing was equipped w/ an OXS.
