Installed the 034 engine and transmission mounts tonight at my local dub shop.

NVH is stock like. Even with the stock dogbone there's a noticeable difference with shifting feeling more secure.

Something that I didn't expect...
Going over bumps and such on the highway the front end doesn't bounce around as much. Feels more planted.

My opinion is to get the 034 mounts that if you are after stiffer engine and transmission mounts with a miniscule amount of NVH (only feel a small difference at startup).

Very OEM+ feeling :cool:

Next up? HPA dogbone mount. I ordered it, just waiting for them to make 'em :D

Idk whether saying "power from 1500rpm all the way to red line" was just a manner of speech, but you shouldn't go WOT beneath 2K rpm. between 1 and 2K is where you're at risk for LSPI. If you don't know what that is, research it, and try not to give it more than like 25% throttle beneath 2K rpm.

It was a broad statement on the power delivery difference between stage 1 and 2. However I do appreciate the tip. I will be careful between 1k and 2k rpm. Thanks

Tinted the windows and matte black vinyl on the roof and center of the hood. Thinking about what to do next.

What size vinyl sheet do you need for the roof/where did you get it? I've been meaning to get to doing this on mine for months now...

I really like my APR short shifter. I'm going to mess with the settings this weekend. The only thing that sucked is the 42DD bushings(side to side I think) were a hair too thick for the APR kit and I need to have them milled down to see if they will then fit.
