[16-driver]

Wow! Would it fit pu?

[IshiKage]

yes.

[08.5MS3]

Looks beefy. Let us know how you like it.

[TRex]

you got the 75 right? also it looks like i might have been wrong about the construction from the previous thread (Torque Solutions RMM the entire black portion bushing or is it a large metal piece with a thin bushing like i originally thought?

from the first pic it looks like the former

[IshiKage]

they only have on duro, 75. its its a big piece of metal and the bushing goes through ot. just not sure how big the part of the bishing is that goes through it

[TRex]

no no see below


from this picture it looks like there is a massive metal insert and then a thin piece of material...but i cant tell in your first pic...your first pick looks like all bushing (similar to SURE and CPE)...so how is it really? like my picture? or like the other RMM?

[IshiKage]

troof. im going to call them. and swap it

[TRex]

^.....but can't you tell by just looking at it?

lol see below


all im asking is it all bushing from the OD of the little metal insert to the end or is it more like my previous post?


i think i know the answer (that it is all bushing and the pic i posted is not the exact RMM that you get when you order it...but i just want to be sure)

[IshiKage]

just called and now that im looking at that pic you posted, thats not our mount. he said thats either for a different car or they changed the design. they only offer one bushing for our car and its 75. the rep said that pic isnt correct and the mount is mistakingly posted twice on the sight. he said hes going to take one off the site

but this is the only mountmade by TS for our car directly from TS's site

going to install now and will do the water test after its broken in but ill do the water test with the SU before i take it out

[MSMS3]

Let us know how it compares to the SU you are taking out. I just tried to order a RMM from SU and they are telling me they have discontinued their mount and are pushing the SURE product. The SURE mount has not been available very long and I have not heard much about how it is holding up.

If this product is at least as beefy as the SU was, then I would be interested. And, yes, maybe take a photo of the actual mount you received and post it up for us, or was that it in the original pix. I'm confused about that from the subsequent posts and questions about discrepancy between website and as-delivered product.

[IshiKage]

ok. will do. and my SU RMM will be going up for sale as well. but its beefier than the SU. almost the size of the OEM mount

the pics in the OP are of the mount. they only offer one mount and this is it

[TRex]

thanks 240 that answered my questions hope it goes well getting read to puchase this

[IshiKage]

wtf. i was putting in my bolt that gos through the mount and my fucking threading just fell out

[08.5MS3]

Holy shit...I'm assuming that's the one that goes through the bushing.

[IshiKage]

yes. my bumper to bumper is done but mazda is goign to have to fix this. this is faulty shit. i have never over tq'd it or anything.

[skeeter149]

wowsa

[IshiKage]

im going to tell mazda that i began to notice increase movement, jacked up the car and noticed my damn bolt was missing

[TRex]

^be sure to put the stock mount (or at least have it) back in place

[IshiKage]

i am

[MarkyMark]

does anyone else notice that looks pretty much exactly like the CPE one? It's a damn near carbon copy LOL.

SURE one is MUCH beefier than the SU. We wouldn't phase out a good product with an inferior one lol.

[AJ713]

Hopefully they will hook you up with this. Let us know what happens.

[08.5MS3]

May be a dumb question, is this the thread on the bolt or on the frame?

[IshiKage]

the frame

you are correct...but it has a thick bushing just like the SURE one...and it is cheaper than both....so win win win

[IshiKage]

everyone copies everyone so who cares

fuck it. im just going to go get a Heli-Coil and let a local shop fix it...fuck mazda

[simplycmplex]

yeah man...let us know how that goes...and once it's fully fitted if there's any change in vibration to the cabin...always my main concern

[R3V]

Sigh. I have no idea which mount to get.

[08.5MS3]

There will be vibrations. You're placing a polyurethane bushing where this POS use to sit. Just the nature of the beast.

[IshiKage]

ok. Mount is installed and its tits. vibes are minimal and slightly noticeable. of course this is a brand new mount and still has to be broken in but its tits. remember im coming from the softer SU mount with the street bushing thats 62 duro.
launched that bitch hard as ffuck and no wheel hop...the motor doesnt move.

glad i bought it and highly recommend it. Torque Solutions makes a awesome product. also. the shop i go to, Performance Race Solution, Uses Torque Solution's Mounts on all of their race cars.

im going to order some of their exhaust hangers and the other two mounts when they are completed

def Torque Solutions FTW

[simplycmplex]

so SEX man! I just can't bare any additional vibrations...I'd love to know how it settles in after two oil changes!

[IshiKage]

you are going to get additional vibs, thats the nature of the beast. but as said, they arent bad and the mount only has, like 3 miles on it, literally.

if you dont want to feel vibs, buy my SU mount which is posted in the for sale section. you will not feel the vibs with it. i just wanted something alittle harder

[08.5MS3]

Seems as though this mount, with a lot of bushing, will absorb a lot of the vibrations, albeit, they will still be there. Same can be said with the SURE mount.

The TRZ will give your girl an orgasm. Since switching to the cp-e mount, the vibes have come down substantially. I couldn't tell you how it is with just the mount as I have the TRZ transmission mount as well.

[08cosmic3]

I have a 1st gen Medieval on my car which is a copy of the 1st gen SU, It's held up well and the only vibs is with air on sitting at stop. I check it every time I change my oil but for piece of mind I plan on replacing it soon, I'm going to get this one. Keep us updated, I'll be getting one this spring unless you have bad results before then.

[IshiKage]

my medieval failed quickly.

[simplycmplex]

i can see having all my friends that are girls in the car...with a camera mounted at the windshield with that mount....as they all orgasm at the SAME time...

that would be an EPIC RMM!!!

[easy]

medieval is fail ... i had their trans mount and took it out after 5,000 miles and the bushing was warped and the sleeve was coming out of it.

I just installed the SURE mount, purchased from SU. Only have about 20 miles on it. I hope it settles in and softens up a bit with use, because the vibes are there, even though the center bushing is large. I was surprised that the stock mount still looked pristine, although the rubber had clearly softened and the engine was rocking quite a bit. I got 48,000 hard miles out of that mother, with a lot of tracking and a ton of hard practice launches, so can't call it a POS.

I ordered the street version and was a little surprised at the vibes. I don't know what the stiffness (durometer) rating is, but it's stiffer than I thought it would be.

Good news, and this is probably the case with the Torque Solution, which looks almost identical, is that this absolutely stopped the wheel hop on launch and I made several successful 2-3 flatshifts this a.m. on the way to work. Before I could only do that half the time. Bound to help my shitty 60 ft's. some.

I just hope the vibes do settle down a bit. It's more than just at idle with the A/C on. It is coarse when decelerating and during light throttle. Not quite a GF orgasmatron, though.
