Mrskylighter, just keep in mind that aw11's have a terrible front torque mount mounting point. They have a habit with a bit of power of tearing the nutserts out. I had urethane toeque mounts in my car when i broke the front torque mount bracket.

With fair dinkum torque as you would have Rob it can tear the mounting bolts out of the front of the bellhousing .
There is a third bolt hole available . Advisable to use it and maybe even oversize all three with helicoils.

What are you doing with the R&T ones? Wanna sell em to me? Would be a nice upgrade for the small AW11 front and rear torque mounts currently holding the 3S.

Someone else already asked earlier, sorry Nick!

Yeah a few people have mentioned this. I will do it in the future, but for now I just wanted to get the car back on the road because I hadn't driven it for about a month while waiting for the badly-delayed shipment of the torque mount inserts from the US.

Ladies and gentlemen, 


I have featured Rob's car on my new MR2 YouTube series called The Dandism Project (that will primarily be about the development of my V6 converted SW20). I invite you to watch and I'm also interested in any feedback / criticism / compliment as I am new at this kind of hobby-level production (the sound isn't great, I know that). The episode covers most of the significant mods to Rob's gorgeous MR2.

If you like it, please subscribe for more videos as I have more ready to go and plans to continue filming each time I do anything of interest with my car or get involved with anyone else's :)
