While doing an oil change today (Rotella T6 5w40 bayyybee) I realized the oil pan was resting on the steering rack, I figured this was a result of the motor mounts being worn and sagging. The car has had more vibration than normal the past few events for whatever reason, I assume this is related.
I've had some IAG mounts sitting around since I put the motor in originally so I decided now was the time. I had to do a bit of trimming on one side to clear the block and I ended up having to shim the motor up with pieces of a destroyed Miata wing since the IAGs sit even lower than compressed WRX mounts.
I just started the car with the new mounts and I'm headed to RockAuto to order some replacement WRX mounts now.
Also, I noticed there is a lot of room to feed some 2" intercooler pipes for a Treadstone TRV125 intercooler if one were so inclined to use a MDP or TTS Rotrex bracket that mounts a C30 or C38 in the stock K24 ac compressor location. A conservative setup might make something like 275whp NASA avg, about 200lb could be pulled out of the car, and the thing magically fits into TT4. Hm, imagine that.
