    Welcome from the old Padre here! I agree with the fuel pump internals as the highest priority, then the motor mounts, then the intake. You have some awesome mods already on your car! WOW, you have my "wish list" already on your car. Again, welcome!

    Welcome from the old guy in Arizona. These MS3s keep you young and broke, if you let them..... This forum is a lot more fun than those other guys....

    Just introducing myself.

    Metaphorically speaking, of course....having been a medical type for 20+ years, well let's just say I have experience in clinical applications of said "touching"....we won't go into my "war stories" on this forum.

    What did you do to your ride today

    I've been turning the Sirius down to hear the drivetrain...I guess I really don't need an aftermarket exhaust because the NVH provides just the right note inside! I just ordered the CS TMM insert as a way of checking off the "motor mounts" box on my mental checklist of mods and maintenance the...

    I am in agreement. Thanks for the recommendation. As long as the TMM is in good shape, I will stay stock. Does anyone have any experience with the CS inserts in the TMM? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    What did you do to your ride today

    I only notice the noise and vibration at idle during warm-up. I sit in the garage until the RPM goes under 1000, and then I leave. I feel the vibration and hear the noise, but my frontal lobes just love the sure grip of the drivetrain when I release the clutch, and the lack of steering wheel...

    What did you do to your ride today

    I can vouch for that. I did the CS Stage 2 RMM and then the Damond PMM and love it. I am trying to decide on whether to do the DM or CS TMM. Any other good choices out there I am missing? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Damond Mount Design

    Assume nothing....30 years of teaching adults taught me this maxim. My good tech Drew has offered me this "off the record" adjustment already. I really appreciate all of you here!

    Damond Mount Design

    Yep, right out of the box. Thanks for the prospect when it breaks in.

    I had the Damond PMM installed today. Now, only my TMM is OEM. The DM mount actually quieted the mild NVH increase that I experienced with only the CS Stage 2 RMM. I am a very happy Padre!

    Damond Mount Design

    I just had the PMM installed on my MS3. It is awesome, and it actually smoothed out the NVH that was created by having the CS Stage 2 RMM alone with stock PMM and TMM. I am very pleased as how firm my steering and suspension feels since the motor is not contributing to the NVH and torque...

    Stage 2 RMM for Mazdaspeed!

    I moved my review of the DM mount to the MS3 Suspension section of the boards....kind of awkward using my favorite supplier's forum to describe another company's product. Bad form on my part. Sorry folks, especially you at Corksport!

    Dammond PMM installed....

    I decided to move this here from the discussion I started on the Corksport thread. This was originally about their Stage 2 RMM. So, after looking at the design of the various PMM's available I elected to get the Damond. IT was installed this morning and much to my delight this mount has...

    Stage 2 RMM for Mazdaspeed!

    I'm dealing with 20+ years as a Paramedic and chronic back pain from multiple injuries. That, and I have worked very hard all of my life and now I can assist the employment of an excellent Mazda technician named Drew! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Stage 2 RMM for Mazdaspeed!

    I am having the DM mount installed this week. I am interested in seeing how the 2 different mounts work together. Going back to the CS, it has broken in and the NVH is truly minimal, noted mostly at warm-up. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Just introducing myself.

    Hey, welcome from the old guy here.... Your car looks clean and there are definitely mods there. There are lots of nice folks here to answer your questions....the folks here are a lot more welcoming than some other forums.

    Stage 2 RMM for Mazdaspeed!

    I have the Damond on the way, but looking at my PMM it looks almost new. The rubber looks and feels flexible and there is no sign of any kind of leakage. Adding the CS Stage 2 RMM was reviewed elsewhere, but I am wondering if I should just keep the Damond as a standby just in case. My car...
