I just installed my 75 duro CP-E mount this morning to replace the CorkSport inserts. This is far from my first rodeo with stiffer mounts, so I immediately kicked on the A/C to test the vibes at idle. I'm actually surprised with a mount this stiff that it didn't vibrate more than it did. You'll definitely feel it, especially in the steering wheel, but it's well within tolerable limits (this is my grocery getter/Home Depot car). It's a tad louder in the car under load with the vibes being transferred across the chassis, but the engine barely moves now and is that much better to drive.
What have you done to your MS3 today?

Oil Change and was going to do the tranny fluid too but I stupidly didnt read the entire walkthrough, so I didnt get to change the tranny fluid, fml.
so i did the a/c thing, full blast, auto and it did gave a bit more vibration than idle. but again it is not to the point that it's gonna drive you nuts. i need to drive a car with a different mount though just to compare. i'd say order it now because it will be on backorder, especially if you want the 60 durometer.

I have the 60 duro CPE and it's hardly noticeable as far as vibes go. I've also had the CS inserts and TRZ poly. The CPE 60 wins...

Took my engine cover off and cleaned up the whole engine bay... even armor-all'ed all the plastic parts... I'm a freak, I know.
Then I took some proper photos:

Nope! I figured people passing by were giving me wierd enough looks as is... So I just jumped out and snapped four quick pics and drove off.
Eew, it looks like you have a hole worn in your intercooler shroud.
sorry about the quality, i snapped these with my G1. this is my Pioneer Z1 with the kanatechs dash kit. with a 15" sub.
i didnt have time to install my infinity kappa door speakers so im still running my Stock "Sport" door speakers.
im suprised at how good they sound, can only imgaine what the Kappas are going to sound like. but as of now. im going to ride with the Stockers since they sound so good.
not to mention, i love out clean this dash kit makes the car look. i like not having all of the buttons on the dashkit like the car advanced kit
