Installed the Whipple mount (via group purchase $55) over the weekend. Installation was very easy; no jacking necessary. The hardest part was removing the three nuts from the lower housing--the ends of the bolts were pretty rusty, and it must have taken me at least a half hour to get those damn nuts off. Some WD-40 helped a bit. Impressions: Like many others have said, it's hard to believe that this simple mod (two polyurethane bushings and one T-6 aluminum spacer) can make such a huge difference, but it does. The first thing I noticed was much improved throttle response. Before the mod, when shifting from 1st to 2nd under normal driving the car would rock back and forth a little. I always thought it was my crappy shifting technique (this is the 1st car I've owned with a 5 spd), but lo and behold, after putting in the new mount (not technically a mount actually, but I don't know what else to call it) there is virtually no stutter. Even after quickly releasing the throttle, in any gear, that familiar stutter is gone. Clutch feel is improved as well. The only downside I've noticed so far is that I feel a *slight* vibration after releasing the clutch. I consider this a tradeoff, and one well worth it. Put me down as another satisfied customer of the Whipple mount. BTW, for those of you who have it, I'm just curious, what color were the "hockey pucks" you got? Mine were blue, but I've heard reports of yellow and green ones as well... Kevin Ng 97 GLX Windsor Blue
