What have you done to your MSP today?

I hit a pot hole the other day, and now I'm hearing a clunk when I hit the gas or brake hard. I'm guessing I have a broken mount. I'm looking to change out the rear and side mounts, which raised a question in my mind that I don't think I've ever seen addressed here... does anyone know what the durometer/hardness is on the stock mounts?
 
^very soft lol

Cylinders 1 & 3 (Is that right? 4 is farthest to the passenger side, right?? lol) are fired from the coilpacks, and then cylinders 2 & 4 (respectively) are "piggy backed" and triggered/controlled by the coil packs on 1 & 3.

Okay I had a feeling that's what they were but I wanted to make sure. So I've seen some guys put 4 coilpacks on..does that increase performance at all? Also do you have to modify anything else? I'm no longer using the plastic valve cover FYI.

4 coilpacks? It's very common to do the 1.8L swap and remove the 2 coilpacks and just have 4 regular wires... I don't think I've heard of anyone running a 4 coil pack setup.

Oh that must have been what I saw then. Because there was 1 wire from each cylinder. Are they universal fit for all 3rd gens and is there anything else you have to change?
 
valve cover needs to be changed to a 1.8l or to a 2000+ 626 valve cover
besides that you need to buy the coils and wires from mazda or advanced auto or something

its freaking expensive, not worth it IMO
 
I ran outside during my lunch break and swapped out a broken left rear seat belt. I also removed the center belt/buckle since nobody would be foolish enough to sit there.

If someone has the answer, I'd sure like to know it.

The stock mounts aren't solid, they have holes so I don't know if it would be possible to get an accurate durometer measurement on them... But if I had to guess, I would say probly ~20. At least as a comparative measurement to the AWR mounts or something.

Also, durometer measurements are only accurate when comparing similar diameter bushings, as a smaller diameter bushing will be stiffer than a larger diameter bushing of the same Durometer.
 
CDM headlights on the car and looking badass, though I have no low-beams right now since someone sent me the wrong harness...

Picking up the right stuff tomorrow.
