It's not what you drive, it's how you drive it.

Hmmmm.....and she's supposed to be driving mine in 2 weeks. I don't have flex mesh, so can I expect my downpipe to be ripped out? :5e73a009:[/b]


Well, there is a big difference between your car and Josh's car and I don't want to hurt his feelings so I won't say anything LOL.
[font=Arial Black][size=100]Roadrnr06 was my leased 2006 Speed 6 which was purchased on 06-06-06. I have many fond memories of that car, and will be keeping my original profile as a memory of the great car that I once had.

My new user name is Roadrnr09 and showcases my new 09 Subaru WRX which I am very happy to have purchased as a replacement vehicle : )

Im too scared to launch my car hard becuase of that....The Turbine Tech rear diff mount is supposed to be a fuggin monster. That along with their front engine mount is the winning repair for Mazdas design flaw, too bad they are out of stock....


Josh, that sucks dude, my woman drives my car and all sorts of CEL's start happening, the idle messus up, I learned to not let her drive my car ANYMORE... but junk is junk, that TurboXS would have happened ripped in half anyways at some point,,,

I'm with you, Eric. I don't hard-launch almost at all just because I don't want that rear diff to break. I heard a "clunk" in the back end twice this week when starting forward in 1st gear and I almost peed myself both times.

I think it was just my tires being stuck to the pavement, though. LOL.

Well good news is I called up TurboXS and spoke with Jermaine, he obviously knew about the issue in the first set of RP's and no questions asked ordered me a replacement... Atleast it was a simple replacement :)

Crystal has launched that car hard and the diff mount holds up. I think that if you drop the clucth you get bad drive line shock that is why she slips it out. We are ordering a new stage 3+ clutch so maybe that will break the mount but we will see.
