No, just installed the TRZ today, let us know how it goes.
Finally someone i can tell what an awesome piece this is. I recently installed and was dissapointed at the lack of vibes! But the thing is great when running hard under accceleration and decel too. as you will see. One of my favorite parts on my car, honestly. I have a trans side mount i hope to install soon too. If you need any help with the install of your mount i will be glad to answer any questions if you get stuck. It is pretty easy though. You must have a floor jack and decide what you want to do with a chasssis ground wire that connected to the stock mount. I found my stock mount was shot and this piece was a great upgrade. If it ever wears out, i will buy another one. Nice choice and best luck!
Thanks for your info. Now I'm glad that I made the right choice. I found a shop that will install it for just $60
HAHA...I'm just hella lazy. I should receive the mount by next week or so, can't wait.Yep ithink you will be pleased. For the grounding strap, i crimped a bigger lug on and held it down with the nut that holds the mount. i should have removed some of the pretty blue paint for a good contact but i did not. Your shop will see what i mean and should be able to include the little extra work for the 60 bones. Just be sure to get the correct wire gage and stud size. There are other ways to tie it in i am sure though. Good luck and enjoy. Def let me know what you think!
Ok...So I took my car to the shop today. It only took him 15 mins to put on the RM. I still get wheel hop in first gear, but not as bad as before and no wheel hop at all in 2nd gear(cheers2). As with the vibration, you can only feel it when the engine fan is on when the car idle, which is not bad at all. I also inspected the stock rear mount, and holy s***, part of the rubber is already tearing a part and my car only have 10,000 miles on it. For $80, I will recommend any MS3 owner to get one, because the stock unit is a joke. Now I have to find a way to reduce my damn torque steer. Almost crash in to the car i was racing with today when I hit a bump.(omg)
