new goodies! (56k may not be ok)

[Gambino]

Ok, so I am posting this in the lounge because I got so many random things. Some could be in engine section, some in suspension, some in appearance, but its all here.
First of all, I want to thank Ken at mazda3online.com, Rockblocker, and also user shaundarbie.
So, from Ken, I received AWR rear motor mount, GT Spec rear lower tie brace, GT Spec 4 point ladder brace, and Mazda Pedals. I also just ordered the progress anti roll kit from Ken as well. If you haven't ordered anything from Ken and you are thinking about it, I highly recommend him, he is awesome to work with.
I got my fog protection and headlight protection from Rockblocker, also great to work with.
Shaundarbie is using my car to make his shift boot for the mazda3. He sent me the prototype made from vinyl yesterday and it looks great, I will be getting the leather one soon.
Here are some pictures of the installs and final products.

the clutch and brakes are replacements, but the gas is just a clip on. They are VERY sturdy and firm and I have not felt any movement in them while driving. I love them. Plus I dont slip all over the place anymore when my feet are wet

Damn, last I heard you were debating between the brace or the motor mount. Glad to see you sacked up and went all out. As soon as I get bills cleared up and a few decent paychecks in the bank, ill have $ to play again. My new found love of snowboarding isnt helping the cause either.

I expect full reviews of each of the goodies. (specifically the GT spec shizz) =)

well since I put the two pieces on at the same time (and also the motor mount at the same time) I noticed the mounts difference way more than the GT Spec stuff. I am hoping to notice a huge difference once I get the sway bar in (ordered it on sunday) and also as soon as GT Spec makes a front lower tie brace for the 3s
