^^ It's from Sam I believe. I PM'd him about the ETD as well.

I'm interested so please keep us posted.

Oh crap, Sam is from Quebec, what's the point of me getting the M3M one?

Hey Noisy Crow, how much you got it for in total? I'll probably back out the M3M one.

He charged my $175 including shipping and PayPal fee. Shipped it right away as soon as I sent payment via PayPal.

Note that he doesn't have the instructions finished yet (at least in English) but the install should be straightforward.

I'll be at the Brampton meet tomorrow (Shoppers World @ Hwy 10 and Steeles) and bring it along in case anyone wants to take a look at it.

I got mine from mazda3mod, and already had it installed over a week. it eliminated all my wheelhops, and the steering wheel feels stiffer as well. When i first got it installed, it does generate a lot of vibration when i'm just idling, but after a week, there is only some minor vibration left, which barely noticeable when u play ur music at a normal volume level. I will take pics for u guys if i can tommorrow.

Did it come with the "upgraded" washers? Did you put any additional isolation on the mounts?

I didn't, i don't know how what is the "upgraded" washer, all i can say is i did get some washers along with the ETD. and i didn't put any additional isolation.

The washers between the bushings need to be close to the size of the bushings themselves. The small washers that were originally used pulled right through the bushings.

Finally got it installed, this M3M ETD is just fxxking amazing with the CS insert, it reduces the vibration from the CS insert with or without A/C on, although it gives the cabin abit noise but I rather have that than the ass cracking vibration from the insert, and all the shifting jerkiness are fxxking gone especially when A/C is on, upshift/downshift is much more smoother now (no need a perfect timing shift or ride the clutch abit more in order to shift smooth), also it helps abit on the handling side if you enter a curve on an uneven pavement when the engine used to jump up and down abit which caused the car unstable (now it feels more solid), and lastly I can hear the engine roaring sound more than my header/exhaust (sounds like my sister's CX7 with AEM intake).

+10000000 on no wheel hop with CS insert, and I can easily smoke the tires now with much more usable torque at pickup speed (no more hesitation) :chuckle
