My competition mount was maybe half a year old. Most of its life was sitting in the garage waiting for the rest of my car to get done.
vteckiller, I think that a large number of Miatas wouldn't even notice it. I wouldn't have either except my exocet engine bay is super tight. Another 1/2" and I wouldn't have noticed either. Just a head up for other with big turbos or otherwise tighter bays.

Yeah, I'm sure my install is correct. The new mount was bolted in the same spot on the block and went back into the same ( middle ) hole on the sub frame. I'll try again in a few weeks though .. I was planning on putting back in with shims to adjust for the correct clearance anyways.

Took some measurements this morning.
Blue car with V8R billet mounts: Motor tilted 3.3 degrees.
Purple car with AWR 70 mounts: Motor tilted 0.1 degrees.
Blue car had no visible tilt when the OEM mounts were installed. The 3.3 degrees current is EXTREMELY noticeable, and has also manifested itself with some extremely tight and drastically different header clearances compared to he purple car. Both cars are BP4W "powered" NB1s with 6spd trans and RB headers.
I sent V8R an email, guess we'll see what happens.
