MWR E153 Conversion Questions
I've been reading the few old threads about the MWR E153 conversion, with increasing trepidation. With this being the route I'm most likely to go with the autocross build, since I'll be at 350-400rwhp and doing several hundred drag starts per year, I'm wondering about a few things:
1. What are the various parts that people are having trouble making work? I keep seeing posts about things that required extensive modification or were straight up incorrectly made from MWR.
2. What's the deal with the mounts? People are saying they're so stiff as to be unusable? Is it just a durometer problem, a design problem, or what? It seems to be something drastic since every post I've seen has people ending up welding up their own mounts instead of using the kit ones, which is a little absurd.
3. It sounds like it requires moving the whole assembly over around an inch. Does this create clearance problems with either a clamhinge, the Rev400TVS kit, or any other common mods?
Thanks for any insight people can provide.
