Received my STI engine and transmission mounts. Not really looking forward to the install, but I'm definitely looking forward to the results. I hate the sloppy factory mounts.

Waxed and covered my baby with my OWN blanket as I go on a 2-month vacation...surely gonna miss my wingman.

Installed BRZ tS fender garnishes and the STI flexible strut tower bar.

Evil Jesus · 07-09-2014, 10:52 PM

What's the purpose of a flexible strut tower bar?

BC U google how much it costs and you be like.

STI transmission mount vs OEM. STI on the bottom, notice the extra rubber. With this mount and the two STI engine mounts (no picture, they look identical to OEM) it actually feels like the engine is connected to the car. Imagine that! There's a barely perceptible difference in vibration at idle, which actually makes it feel like there's an engine under the hood.

The installation of the engine mounts was pretty easy, just needed to jack the engine up ~5" to get clearance for the driver's side mount to squeeze out. The trans mount was cake too.

These mounts are something I think I'd really enjoy. Glad to hear you're liking them.

Maybe next summer.

DocWalt · 07-09-2014, 11:56 PM

They should have been in the car stock. IMO the factory ones were terrible.

Cracked the 5th digit tonight coming home from work. Also threw in some Pentosin MTF2 in the gearbox. Shifting feel wonderful!

Please tell me that this picture is photoshopped, and you weren't really taking a picture of your odometer while driving 54 mph down the road. At night.
