[s-cars] New motor mounts

[James Murray (QA/EMC)]

What's also important in reducing that gap is not to use the same hard
material as the poly mount...thus having a transitioning effect and not
hard knock or motor vibrations. Those that have tried this modification
have found not only improvement in the drivetrain slop but better
shifting too!

Yes, that can be done, but the gap between the poly mount and the
bracket is the same as stock, about 8 mm above and below. What others
have done was to find a suitable diameter tube of rubber and wrap it
around it effectively reducing the gap and movement. Over on AudiWorld,
they are using a rubber PVC coupling or even an old piece of the
Michelin man hose!
