RIGHT ON THIS MAKES CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT SMOOTHER?!?!

I really hated the rocking feeling of this engine and clutch when you go in and out of gear, did this help a lot?

Mine is coming on monday or tuesday, I'M STOKED!

i think it does. it doesnt jerk back and forth nearly as much when taking off and going from 1st - 2nd. everything about the car just feels more solid now. no regrets here

it pwns the Ingalls dampener i had on the stock mount previously. that thing didnt do **** and rattled like hell.
IMO the best mod you can do for improved driveability
it'll settle down, and vibes will almost gone

Yeah after breaking in period, either im just used to the vibes and dont feel em anymore, or they are mellowed out more. Either way, 1k miles on it and counting.

^^ Just watch out, using an impack chips the paint under the bolt's head. We suggest the common torque wrench.

I'm still waiting as well man. Don't forget Canada Post workers had themselves a nice 4-day weekend.

Man I came home from lunch today and no package!!

GRR it was shipped on the first like Aaron said, and it's the stinking 11th! I think I should get some money back on this really expensive "express" shipping.

Aaron let me know if you can get some money back from these guys at USPS, this is crazy man, 4 day shipping turning into more like 8 day shipping.

USPS FTL!

Man I am rrreallly stoked for this, come on delivery man!

Where in Canada are you? Like I mentioned earlier, keep in mind that Canada Post had a 4-day long weekend over Easter. Nothing moved.

Also, your package won't be waiting for you unless someone is there to receive it and pay the taxes that are due. GST and PST on the declared amount. That's why I get all my stuff sent to work; I'm always here.

I just got the package but the dinged me 40 bucks in gst pst and handling, Aaron you should really mark down the declared value to be your cost, not the retail value, it'd save us all a bunch of cash.

will you stop your bitching............ i only had to pay 20 donno why u had to pay 40......, if aaron marked down the value, and it got lost, u would be bitching cuz u didnt get all ur money back...... give him some slack.

bika, you bought the same thing i have, WATCH OUT while cleaning it, i put a little armor all cleaner on the top of the mount, and the finish started to rub off. WATCH what u clean it with

Yea I agree, I will stop bitching, I'm not a ***** just a very stressful time of year for me. I am very happy with how the mount looks and i want to say THANK YOU AARON

Thanks everyone for the advice in the thread, I will update you with pictures and my review very shortly.

Cheers,

From: Still fixing others mistakes.
got mine, still wheel hops on concrete. not exactly what i was hoping for.
engine does change tones due to the flexability of the stock mount. vibrates more. i am still getting used to the new noises it makes.

all in all, the car is actually easier to drive due to less flex in the driveline. i'm not complaining in the least, it's a learning process.

time to get traction bars and tranny mounts.

carry on kids.
