I've changed my stock motor mounts with the FM Motor mounts.

bripab007 10-10-2006 08:21 AM

Yeah, FM sells the same Mazdaspeed motor mounts that're 40% stiffer than stock.

miatamania 10-10-2006 02:20 PM

35% ;).

Just ordered mine from trackdog...74/pair

bripab007 10-10-2006 02:45 PM

40% ;)

how about a compromise at 37.5%?

bripab007 10-10-2006 04:31 PM

Nope. 40% Take it or leave it.

miatamania 10-20-2006 01:37 PM

heh, you win, 40%

I just installed them last night, what a pain in the ass to do with ramps and a jack, took me about 4 hours, had to remove the exhaust manifold. The passenger side is not fun to get to, but WOW! these things make a world of difference.

My drivers side mount was cracked down the bottom and the passanger side was pretty bad to. I test drove it last night and it feels SO much better than it did. The slugish feeling is gone from the driveline now and shuddering I thought might be comming from a dying clutch is gone too :). the shift from 1-2 at 7k rpms is a lot smoother now too, it just grabs, the transition from one gear to another is a bit different as well...but I like it

It was worth the time and I think this might be one of the most noticable mods for our older miatas....+1 :)

I was finally approved for my Mazdaspeed account. I should order them one of these days.

miatamania 10-20-2006 03:02 PM

I bought mine from trackdog racing, cheaper/faster than MS...even though I have an account.

google track dog racing

Do a writeup. Take pictures and notes.


Miatamania (aka Moss) looks like the cheapest. $60pair plus shipping. I've ordered from them before and shipping costs are real. I'll be ordering these right meow!

VRTSid 10-20-2006 05:52 PM

anyone make solid? that would be 100% stiffer :)

miatamania 10-20-2006 07:02 PM

but completely unstreetable...

uhhuh, but does anyone make them? seems like the easiest way to be sure you can get rid of the cups.

samnavy 10-21-2006 10:56 AM

Well, mine were $72.85 w/shipping from miatamania. That's $12 for shipping from Cali. Those things weigh 2lbs according to our resident weight expert?

$13 for 2lbs Cali to VA. That sounds about right.

Anybody pay less?

No, but I paid more from Track dog, 'cause I wasn't sure that Moss's were the MS ones.

Are you talking about mazdamotorsports.com?
I backed out of there when they wanted to know my SS# just so I could buy something... not cool w/me.

miatamania 10-21-2006 01:16 PM

I forgot about the SS deal...even now those are like 60 bucks plus shipping...
