    Pretty obvious it's not the guilbo's fault in this series of errors.

          Engine was in the wrong position, the shitty euro parts giubo I had lasted 6 months running this way. I put the engine where it goes yesterday and just picked up another uro parts giubo from Halsey. I'm not going to waste money on a nicer one until I know for sure I've solved the problem

            Wait you put the Revshift thing on with your engine mounted wrong? How can you blame them for that failure then? Not trying to defend the product but that is pretty clearly way off if you have ~.75" clearance on some bolts that are supposed to be flush with the piece...

              I'm not blaming them for failure I'm just pointing out the 28$ uroparts guibo lasted 6 months, the revshift one almost made it around the block twice .

                Looks like you might have a vertical misalignment also man, It might just be me, and the picture also.....

                  May just be because the trans is tilted 10*

                    Yea not surprising if the engine mounts are on wrong that the height would be off too. From what I recall, his engine isn't at the correct angle due to the incorrect mounts.

                    I'm not surprised that a 'performance part' made specifically to have less flex and tighter tolerances got eaten up faster than a cheaper rubber disc.

                      The bolts shouldn't have ripped out like that, the giubo came with washers that go behind those rear nuts but they were to big and would have to be shaved to actually fit, if revshift provided proper hardware this may have lasted a couple days but there was no way to get those washers to fit and my car was broken so I had no way to go anywhere and buy new washers

                        Tilting it 10 degrees doesn't change the alignment. Almost everyone runs G260 with 24v and have no issues. Get the AKG mounts and be done with your issues.

                          I think the condor mounts are fine, I just had them in wrong, my car has taken a few beatings involving boulders and the undercarriage. when I initially installed the mounts I could not get them to go in the way they are supposed too bassically one was flipped, I was able to get in right with a little massaging so it should be ok now.

                              Id rather have AKG then condor, condor always seems hit or miss.
