Odd sound at the track today

As I ponder this, I would lean towards the transmission mounts also and a scrape on your exhaust. My turns on a bad bearing did not reach the g's im sure you were pulling on the track, and it was so slight; sounds like your feedback was a touch more determinant. Its also really easy to check.
Not suggesting that you don't know this, but for everyone out there:
Do yourself the favor of buying the canister piece separately and attaching them to your existing brackets. It'll save you hundreds. you can find the REIN AVT0307P for around 70 bucks each. (the forum blanked out the site where I sourced, but its the same part available on pelican) The 993-375-049-05 will fit too, but much more expensive. NOTE: you will need a VERY large external torx socket to remove from the bracket, it was one size up from the set I have, so I needed help there.

Race on

Transmission mounts it is. Those are not leaking, but are in my opinion pretty much out of shape compare to new ones. This allows the header to downpipe flange bolt to touch to support frame on hard cornering. Also the right side does lean a bit lower compared to the leaft side - maybe this is why the rubbing happens only on the right side during 'fast' lefthanders.
Pictures show the rubbing point I found today and also right side transmission mount.
Thank you for your help on this! Now is time to order new mounts.

Then, I looked at the mounts to buy without the support brackts and came by this site offering the REIN AVT0307P mounts approx 1/2 price compared to next offering: "nsbomarket dot com". Have any of you ever purchased anything from there or is this just a scam...?

i am running those REIN, this is my second time on 2 cars. They are flawless.

Great, thanks Tony,
Where you purchased the REIN transmission mounts from?

I think I sourced the last set at rock auto, used a coupon and every other trick I could muster, but a quick google search shows most suppliers in the 70-80 buck range. Pelican has them for 107.
Interested in modifying my old ones now...as people said, we can fill them with poly? What's involved with that? is there a tech talk on that madness?

BTW, I couldnt find nsbomarket dot com, but pricing is all over the place for these...I saw one site selling them for 57 bucks each, others wanted up to 150. Pretty sure this mount is more common then just the porsche line.
I was happy enough with ~70 bucks and had them in a few days.
