SU front motor mount installed

[jfvhpilot]

I installed my SU front motor mount today. The install is very easy. It took me about 40 minutes, just because I am slow and was not in a hurry. I took it for a ride and I am impressed in the difference. The motor doesn't seem to move as much when shifting and feels much more solid. I did not notice any additional vibration entering the cabin. I drive my MSP daily and did not want any ride discomfort. This was an excellent mod, especially for the price. Mazda should have done this in the beginning. As a note, the stock front mount is very flexible, and should be replaced. I also noticed that I do not get as much vibrational noise that I was getting before the install. The motor just moves to much with the stock mounts. I do not feel that I need to replace the rear mount. I only boost 7 psi and the front replacement improved things significantly without any detrimental side effects.

Yeah in hindsight Mazda should have equipped the cars with just slightly stiffer motor mounts stock.. or at least mounts without massive holes in them that allow a ton of flexing.

Boy, I can't wait to do mine later on today!

I have the whole set on my MSP and it makes it a completely different car, more raw like my Miata.
