^ alternator needs to be relocated to the top near the coolant overflow tank. The oil filter is also relocated to the front of the timing cover closer to the driver side (i believe that was the location but not 100% sure). The kit wil come with all the necessary stuff to do it.
Congrats on the project Gabe! We are all looking forward to hear the results!

Some delays on GTM's side. The guy that they use to machine the brackets is MIA so they have to find an alternative route. I'm also leaving to Singapore/Korea for 1.5month in two weeks so hopefully by the time I come back things will be peachier.

Updated first post. Things are moving along and I'm hoping for the best.
Thanks, for the good wishes.

The clearance is different then stock, higher, which shouldn't be a bad thing since it'll allow more room for where the blower is going. I'm guessing as a second agenda that GTM also wants to use my car as a test and make sure that if the kit goes into production then normal mounts won't cause a fitment problem. I did somewhat contemplated going back to OEM a while a go to remove some NVH in the chasis, so I just just agreed to do it. Good thing you asked since it got me thinking about the situation, perhaps i should try the Megan ones.

Actually it's both. They got shifted up and they removed the tensioning idler pulley that use to sit between the alternator and crank pulley.
