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!

installed. and all i have to say is.... Turbo Tech Racing FTMFW!
the car sounds mean as hell, clutch engagement is so much smoother, and wheel hop is greatly reduced. vibrations are noticeable from 1500 - 3000 rpm but not bad.
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

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.

Heres mine! afterinstall i noticed my clutch would slip horribly when hitting second pretty hard around 7 grand, so i bought CA poly trans bushings in billet mounts and everything is solved.

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!

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.

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.
