1. Uprated mounts, custom job i think
2. Any good local performance shop will do this for you.
3. Again custom made only
4. good luck, not many of those left look on ebay!

I think you need Clio type mounts, for the 1.8 16v engine, look onhttp://www.k-tecracing.com/, maybe they have the stuff you need.

I think it won't do any better with a high lift cam, they only work good on a naturally aspirated engine.

Good luck!
