Wtf now im pissied! i know you guys are thinking, geez another motor mount thread... but seriously what the ****.
i broke a uuc mm about 3 weeks ago and Luke hooked me up with a new one quickly.
now after 2 WEEKS, heres the one he sent me.
And yes i install them properly, i dont think you can screw it up. i didnt even tighten it very hard this time. This is from the drivers side, the passanger side is holding up great

The pass. Side is holding up because the motors deflection is into the mount(compressing). The drivers side is separating the mount (pulling away). Looks like they have a bonding issue with the mount poly and the hardware. You shouldn't have to deal with this at the price of those mounts.
What tranny mount do you have?

I still can't believe UUC just injection molds that garbage with a simple hex head bolt and sells it as a "premium" motormount.
At least weld a fender washer to it so it has more bite, and interlock the upper/lower stud so that when it does fail, the motor doesn't just fall out.

THIS!!!! The RC51 mounts are the best design mount out there, and nobody has had one fail. If I cant find a set I'll be making my own.
My CS gray poly motor mounts are melting, anyone who uses them needs to heat wrap them and use the supplied heat shields. They melted when I had Kooks 1 7/8" headers, I haven't checked them since the turbo install, which uses the stock manifold. Yes I installed the motor mount heat shields.

I dont know what looks worse, the busted mount or your crazy double jointed finger
Thats the first failed trans mount I have ever seen, good job on driving your car to it's limits!
