Drivetrain

SU Solid Motor mount. The MM makes shifting nice and smooth. The car just feels more solid Compare stock MM to SU MM. Vibration isn't bad at all compared to some.

My helper during the install of the STS

albone's 2008 Mazda MAZDASPEED 3

Installed my Midieval Tranz mount which wasn't too bad.  Had a few aliment issues but got that fixed.  This is not for the faint of heart.  It will show you just how loud you tranz really is.  Vibration isn't too bad compared to other cars I've had full engine/Tranz mounts on.  I've heard after it brake-in period in the loudness will go away some.  The car feels like a race car now.  It shifts very nice and has zero engine movement now between shifts.  The first pic is OEM vs. Midieval.  The OEM version's design was really bad and had a tendency to tear.

How do you like the STS? I want one but I've been thinking, does the senter console/arm rest bother you or get in ur way of the shifting cause its so much higher than the shifter now?
