Uhh, currently installing the the hasport motor mouunt and ran into a problem... the mount itself lines up perfectly, but when i put the bracket on i have to adjust the mount so its seated in, and when it s seated in, the mounts do not line up anymore. Perhaps they pressed the inserts in the wrong direction?

Holes lined up without the bracket:

And after bracket has been seated:

I'm unable to view the images at work, but I'm assuming its the same problem I had. For the drivers side mount, I had to twist the rubber mount and bracket until it lined up. It is quite hard to move but it does move. I had to adjust it several times, installed and removed several times too to get the right position. Was a bit frustrating to get it to line up right.

So yeah, you'll have to twist it around until its in the right position. I think from memory I just twisted it by hand. Most annoying thing was if I twisted too far, then I had to remove it, twist it again then reinstall it. From memory I couldn't twist it whilst it was mounted.

Haha yeah, I eventually figured that from trying to remove the bolt under the mount that goes through, it made the whole insert rotate; so I was able to adjust it enough till it lined up perfectly. Thanks!

Btw, starting up the car now feels more shakey and the vibrations were a little evident at idle, but not that it's a bad thing... sort of adds character to the car haha pulling away in 1st, and shifting to 2nd is less jerky than before.

Ah yes that jerkyness from 1st-2nd and 3rd, makes u shift reall smoothly. My brother always bounces the car when he drives it.

Yeah haha, the mounts fixed it up real good, throttle response feels so much more solid and driving is so much more smoother now; but while idling, the vibration is evident, the steering wheel and shifter shakes abit lol and i can feel it on my ass and feet but its not so bad, heaps worth it. It also fixed the 2nd gear 'mini grind/scratching' issue i had when ever i shift to 2nd.

Hasport for me all the way, btw anyone know what the stock EP3 swaybar size is? 15mm? I just got my energy suspension bushing kit and see that it has 15mm size busing, wanted to use that with the whiteline swaybar as they are alot firmer than the whiteline stuff.
