Give it a go, just make sure youve got some uprated engine mounts... Takes a bit of practice to get it right though
Post some videos once youve got the hang of it!

Its on the list, aside from about 7 other major bits getting done to the car in the next month or 2, but the Centre isnt major at the moment as its not affecting the drivability of the car.
