this last weekend.
The fascia kit was fairly easy but took time with all the double checking I did on the measurements. I won't know the effectiveness of it for a month or so when I get back at the track.
The motor mounts on the other hand were a bit more of a challenge. I bought the poly ones from woodhouse. It's only 3 bolts/nuts per side but it was a fair amount of wrenching. The motor came up just high enough to slip the old ones out. The passenger one was a bit more of a puzzle than the driver side. My old rubber mounts didn't look as bad as I expected. I had seen V10 ACRs and his were bad. I did have a hell of a time getting the alum bracket off of them once out of the car. In fact one of the lugs broke off the old bolt before it loosened. Once that was done it was another puzzle getting them in place. I mounted them to the engine side first and lowered the motor which was now off center....dang. it was off towards the driver side about 1/2".
I raised the motor up some and put the nut on the passenger side mount and tightened it up drawing the motor back onto center. When we lowered it that time it fell right into place.
I have a bit more NVH from the mounts but it feels tighter if that makes sense. I'm looking forward to getting back to the track soon and trying out the goodies.
