My tire exploded as I entered the office today. Here's the culprit:
An allen wrench extender. Definitely wasn't expecting that |

Happen to me last Friday night. I drove the wife's STi and picked her up from work. Pulled out of the lot and felt the car give a strange shake. I knew it was a flat. Luckily one of the techs was still there and helped us out. Got the car up on a hoist and found a piece of metal sticking out between two tread blocks right at the edge of the the side wall. Got the space saver on to drive home. She had the tire patched today but... she ordered a new winter cause the hole was so close to the side wall. Snows have less than 10,000 kilometers on them. |

Side note: your wife drives an STI? What a badass chick. I'm trying to get mine to ditch her boring, but exceptionally functional RAV4 for something a bit more... fun |

Still sharp but inconsistent. It's now consistently smooth and has a premium feel to it. Cabin noise reduced somewhat, less drivetrain slop

I like it a lot. I'm actually pretty used to the Perrin mounts now, to the point where I don't notice them at all. But I guess some of the thrashing and clunking could be attributed to the oem mount/perrin/whiteline combo. The sti mount has a very thick - albeit flexible - layer of urethane, which I imagine is soft enough to civilize the cabin but firm enough to provide consistently smooth shifting.

Do you have the aftermarket shifter bushing installed or still OEM bushing? I’m trying to find out if $200 for trans mount is worth it for just street hooning- canyon carving

Yes I do. I have the MTEC shifter springs as well.
