Thanks AMS

Hey guys, I just installed your front motor mount over the weekend (That was my fiance that picked it up on Friday )

Quick review:

Car does not vibrate very much at all. 2nd and 3rd gear go in so smoothly at high rpms. The entire car feel so much stiffer And the engine seems louder and meaner sounding.
The part does EVERYTHING that its soppose to.

On the other hand, my car did develop more rattles and squeeks inside now and one of my external squeeks really got enhanced But its an EVO not a BMW.

Also, I never was inside of your guys shop/store. My girl was there before me She said I am not allowed in your store untill after the wedding to keep me from buying more stuff for my car You guys might get a "Do not do bussiness with" poster with my picture very soon from her...

Thanks Guys

hahha, I remember your fiance coming in on friday (very nice lady). We were talking about some future modifications to your EVO. She doesnt seem too put off by you throwing some more HP at it.

Thank you for the review! I am actually going to put one of these on my car this week.

Yea, she mentioned that she was asking about stage 1 Since I have a catback already and about to get a boost gauge, all I will need is a tune, but as much as I want to get it, I'm trying to keep the warranty somehow for now, but probably next year.

She loves the evo, and is pretty understanding about me moding all my cars. I keep telling her that we need to supercharge her 06 civic

Quick question about the motor mount, someone told me to check all my bolts because they can come loose due to the extra vibrations, any truth to that? I had motor mounts on my previous VW/Audi cars and never worried about it.

I wouldn't worry too much about bolts vibrating loose. Its still mounted with urethane and other soft mounts so the increase in vibration isn't going to be harsh enough.

Like Eric Jones stated, With just that one front mount you should not have any issues. Its when you toss in all three that we make that it becomes a bit shaky.
