well here is links to the pics since i left them full size , and ive got 29 pics , lol

special thank to TTR and aaron , going to all the work to have these made for us !!!!

installed on a 00 2.4 s/c auto trans , i do have the idle speed up'd to 725 rpm when hot , instead of the 550 it was at , thanks to HP tuners , currently the upper is the only mount i had , ill be installing my lower back in the car in the next couple days

vibration was a little different at start up , and noticeble as the idle speed droped down , but wasnt worse than the insert , it was just different , and not in a bad way

aaron go ahead and copy and save the pics so you can use them , i took to many to email you , lol

tools used to swap mounts , i used my impact gun to make things quicker , a 10 mm socket and15mm socket were used , and i used simi deep sockets , extensions for presonal preference in length , screw driver and 2ft pry bar - http://www.azjbo.org/forum/album_pic.php?pic_id=264

i didnt use the clip , to keep my a/c line from rubbing the s/c bracket , it was rubbing with the stock mount , and there is enough room with the new mount to move line down , but clip wont be used , i will need to find a clamp that will hold it down lower , just to prevent the hose from vibrating to much

Look really good....i was so excited and tired when i did mine i forgot to take the pics of the tools and any action shots.....damn....i took more comparison shots than any......do you like yours as well...

yeah works pretty good , having auto i dont have any wheel hop , but i used to have nasty engine vibs with the insert and lower mount with the a/c and stock idle speed

lower mount i might put in tomorrow , and idle speed will have to wait tell next week

but i could definitely tell right away it fells better

now all ill need is the auto trans mount , and ill be rocking and rollin

i sent Aaron my Auto trans mount....he should of recieved it on monday....i wonder what kind of progress he has made with it....

Half is drafted up... it is looking REALLY good!

Just a little update on the auto trans mount...

Today we should finalize our design, run all the FEA analysis (stress and strains) and by Monday send the prints off to get lasered. We are right on schedule.

We are hoping to ship, this auto mount, out to the testers the week of November 7th. If all goes well, around the week of November 14th they should be shipping

We believe we have narrowed the cost of this item; it should be $160-180. However, we plan on running an introductory price somewhere between $140-160 for the first couple weeks.
