Sorry guys, I am still pretty pumped about my shift knob collar so I think that will hold me over for the next few years before I need to mount these CEs to get my fix.

Spoon engine torque damper + Puddy Mod ETD mount
A Spoon engine torque damper popped up for sale in the local sub forum so I decided to pick it up and try it out. I got it with the strut tower mount and pre-cut heat shield, but I will be using the different mounting points using the PuddyMod mount. I might look into having a friend machine a slightly better mount and have it anodized the same color as my battery tray though.
I am going to try this along with stiffer tranny and diff mounts and see how I like it. If I still want more I will swap over to stiffer engine mounts as well. Looking forward to getting this mounted to see how it works out.

Zoom Engineering TS rearview mirror
I also picked up a Zoom Engineering rearview mirror. Everyone goes for the Monaco version but I prefer a simpler one closer to the OEM shape and size. The Monaco mirror is also clearly made for a RHD car and it doesn't seem like they ever made a LHD version. The glass in this mirror is fantastic and it has a very mellow convex curve to it that doesn't create too much distortion. The carbon fiber is very nicely laid as well. The mount on this looks much nicer than the OEM arm with better hardware and I like that the tension is adjustable. The weight is the same as OEM at .7lbs, with the Zoom mirror being around 255mm at it's widest point and the OEM 235mm. Just a bit bigger without being annoying. Should have this mounted up tonight with some pictures of it in the car.
