What did you do today to your 3/S?

Nelson sells them. He said he had one on his car for one of his 9 second passes, so I'd imagine it can take some stress. And it replaces all the mounts except the driver's side one and allows a lot more space for custom/single turbo set ups. This way you won't have the F/R mounts/brackets in the way of your monster turbos and you won't have the trans mount/bracket in the way if you go single.

Yep it deletes the front, rear, and trans motor mounts and the block to trans brackets.

i have no doubt the plate is strong enough, but the lack of a trans mount would make me uneasy. The sledgehammer engineer in me makes me thing the trans will be under a lot of stress being unsupported on the end.

Anybody have any other pics of the mount?

i also am skeptical about the durability of a transmission without the stock mount. i've seen how much you mtx guys bang the snot out of them.

cleaned the garage and backed her out, then moved her back in lol :) Drove her to work today, very nice ;)

Went for a bit of a hurl last night, the more I drive it the more I think I need the AWS delete...to stop the rear wandering around as it pleases...

the clutch is still an odd one, need to find some of the rattles too :)

Interesting... I'm all about making things simple. As others have mentioned, I'd be concerned about not having the trans mount. No reason you couldn't still use it right?
How much is this thing? Maybe I could sell all my extra mounts and get one of these :)

IIRC, $800 but Nelson was doing a GB to get the price down to $550 each... Don't know what happened with that though.

you can't still use it as the stock mount holes will no-longer line up.

there is no need for a trans mount due to a few things...iirc the plate takes the TC strain and now that the engine is unable to wobble (again, with the plate) there is no need to stabilise the gearbox end of things, keep in mind the weight center is pretty much 1/4 into the engine, so as long as whatever is holding everything has a very strong grip of the engine I can't see it being an issue.

Don't stress, if it was a horrid idea some of the big names would have said something by now.
