Cool The Dangers of Living Near TiC

All the OEM hard rubber is from Exeter Subaru and the rest is from Clint over at Turn in Concepts. A big thanks to him for patiently answering my incessant questions and giving out good advice.



From the top:

Group N Top Mounts front and rear
Whiteline 24mm fixed bars front and rear
Kartboy rear endlinks
OEM Spring Perches and Cushions
Ohlins fixed perch struts (still awaiting the JDM STi Pinks)
TiC Comfort Klunk Killer
Whiteline Steering Rack Bushings
TiC Transmission Crossmember Bushings
Group N Pitching Stopper
Group N Engine Mounts
Group N Transmission Mount

Yes, suspension is next. My engine mods are done with a final trip to Buschur next weekend to tune for my newly installed header. After that all this starts.

Thanks all.

I never found anything good that came of the upgraded pitch mount or the transmission mount. They just transmitted noise until I put the stock ones back on.

Looking back I would probably have done a stock 05 engine mount instead of the GroupN. The groupN transmits a little more vibration than I like.

All the rest is very nice....

What's the part number on that Group-N tranny mount?
I'm about to order one and I want to make sure I get the right one.
Does TIC carry them?
I was going to order it from subarugeniuneparts.com or whatever it's called, but if TIC has them I'd just get one from them.
Thanks

I am almost certain that my stock pitching stopper is a Group N mount except it doesn't have the little STi paint daub. They are identical in every respect. I went ahead and put the new part in, but I don't think it is different.

We don't carry the group N stuff. Wish we did, but we haven't been able to find a source that would still let us compete pricewise, and still offer free shipping in the US.

Ok, thanks anyways.
I just received my "cherry blossom red" cossmember bushings from you guys today, so I figured I might as well do the mount at the same time.

i actually have two group-n pitch stoppers
ordered a second one, because when i received the first one, i thought that i accidently ordered the wrong part.

then asked subarugenuineparts about this, and they said that it looks identical, but the bushings are a tad stiffer than the OEM unit. but who am i to argue with that ?

Nice mod choice

I think the only difference with my set-up is the Cusco motor mounts.
