Long time since I updated this but there hasnt been anything done since then... lol
I wasnt having any success with the Xcessive engine/trans brackets so I ordered Get Nuts Lab engine and trans brackets as well as the matching steel 1 piece drive shaft thru Ace Up Motorsports (Awesome to deal with - spoke to Vitaly). So the brackets came within 3 days and boy did they look and feel much better than the Xcessive pieces (no offense to Rich whom has been awesome in dealing with and will be refunding my $$$ for the stuffs).
These are different for each side - pics for reference incase anyone else has em and question which side is which.
Blasted and prepped for primer and paint!
Hit em with some self-etching primer and high gloss engine enamel
Turbo Blanket I bought from a Zilvia member
Hoping to swap out brackets this weekend. Ill be using my old SR nismo mounts and an MK3 trans mount with these brackets.
FYI problems I had with the Xcessive mounts, engine brackets, trans bracket.
-Hood wouldnt close
-Engine mounts didnt sit flat on brackets
-Trans bracket didnt line up well with trans mount (~1" off front front to back)
