It's really not that bad at all IMO, it's like a gentle massage for your ass. And I think after a week or so it will be a little less noticeable. I notice it moat at idle when the fan is on, but for the HUGE gain I felt it's by far worth $60. I really don't know why I didn't do this sooner, take off is so much smoother and solid and even my braking is better, I guess because the engine isn't being thrown forward. The whole car just feels more solid, just from this one itsy bitsy part

I'm trying to do this eventually, I've spoken with an Amsoil dealer and he claims the kit can almost triple your oils life and hold about a quart or so more than stock

Did you get a cost for the kit? Only kit i see if a 2 oil filter thing and cost liek 250 bucks for it.

Well I'm saying that the resistance from the front mount will add stress to the other 3. So they will be worn out quicker.

+1 yep and will tear the passenger and rear motor mounts in a hurry if you drive sprintedly at all

Got my Mazdaspeed oil cap in the mail and installed it. Didn't think I had any red in the engine bay but it matches my Vacuum block perfectly.

did my valve cover gasket yesterday, painted the cover also with a high heat black pain, painted my mazda emblems with a flat black paint also. going to do my SLS mid pipe porob tomorrow when it comes in and hard pipes friday, just going to keep the side mount and later on up grade that. Wait to do the front mount when its paid off and through a bigger turbo in it, and when its not my daily driver lol

It was so long ago when I looked, but that sounds about right, but tue kit I looked at came with a case of Amsoil too, so it's not too bad of a deal. And yeah about the motor mounts, I guess that does make sense, I'll have to invest in some here soon, my front was demolished and didn't even know it so I guess the other ones could go just as easily

I actually think there is a thread on here somewhere about the relocation kit
