Speed-source wants me to come out around the 28th to take pictures and put together an install guide. I'll also give a comparison, since I have a Ingalls stiffy on now.

Yes guys - $165 shipped is the introductory price Depending on materials and costs the full production run might be a little bit more expensive, but nothing too drastic. That is part of the reason why I did not want to post an official price in here, so people are not cofused when we are selling them completely.

I am sorry for those that got bumped on the list - please send me a PM about it, and we can discuss the situation further. Worst case scenario - I will gaurentee you mounts for the $165 introductory price when we make batch #2. I did not know there was going to be such a quick demand for these! On some products, it is like pulling teeth to get 10 commited buyers haha We want/need to have this first run of 10 because that is what we have polyurethane ready to go for. We just need our materials for the new mount bracket to come in, at which time we will finish up the brackets.

After these are all gone, I am sure the boards will be filled with reviews, and then we will see how many more to make!

I am driving down to Speed Source on November 4th for test fitting a will put together an install document. If all goes well, I am sure they would ship soon after. I don't want to put words in their mouth though.

Hi,

We planned on having them test fitted on the 27th, but both of us had some scheduling conflicts - so we bumped the date back one week. Then we will take pictures when we install on his car - so we can give you guys a detailed instruction manual for putting them in I would say to have the rest of the payment ready - for anybody who did the 1/2 down - by the 2nd week of November. That should be about the time we are ready to ship everything out - so sound good guys?

I will let everybody know when the first ones are all completed, and all is well on those - then we will just have "batch 2" aka our full stock to the best of our ability!

Wohoo. I am the first TC with solid engine mounts (I think).
I drove to Speed-source yesterday and had them installed. Nate and Carl are very cool guys and were very professional. All of the parts fit nicely and look great. Nate took some pictures and I'm sure he'll share some information this morning. I also had their shifter bushings installed and they work great also.

Mounts.
-Fit nicely except for a small adjustment needed on the rear mount. Took 2 seconds to fix by spreading one of the brackets a 1/4 inch.
-The front mount went in in about five minutes. Anyone can do this at home.
-The rear mount was kind of a pain due to lack of space. A very long socket extension will come in handy. All in all both mounts took 2 hours total to install.
-Vibrations are higher than the Ingalls Stiffy I had previously. Around 1000-1500 rpms there are vibrations that you can feel through the dash. The nice thing is the noise from the stiffy is gone so it's a trade off. You can keep the vibrations to a minimum by keeping the revs up when starting from a stop.
-Performance is awesome so far, although I need about 100 hp more to really test them.

Shifter bushings.
-Dropped right in with aftermarket intake.
-Drastically reduced the 2nd gear cold grind and overall shifting feels better.

No, they are fine at idle. It feels a little "rougher" but nothing bad. My recommendation would be to try the front mount first and drive it around for a while. See if you can tolerate more or not and then decide on installing the rear mount.
You can really feel the vibrations if you try to accelerate in second at two low of an rpm, but if you keep the rpms up a bit it's fine. Anything over 1800rpms is fine and it drives like normal.
