FYI: Stiffer AWR engine mounts for BA
 

One of the guys on iMazda has been getting Tony from AWR - http://awrracing.com/ - to make up some stiffer engine mounts for the BHA Protege - which will fit the 1.8 BA Astinas.

This is the first time stiffer mounts have been commercially available for BA - apart from the Mazdaspeed ones which are ridiculously expensive, or customs solids i've had made myself for a few people

Just a heads-up in case anyone is interested. :)

They look quite similar to the BJ ones.

Not exactly the same, thats for sure. But the rough layout is similar. I'm sure that Tony has been able to re-use some of the jigs he has for other models to make these.

Be interesting to see who would be after these.

im interested as i am pretty sure i have done at least one of my mounts in :D
how much?

You can't click a link? :p

If there is a group buy for the Kit I will be in.

i DID click the linky, but the price was 140 for the f/r but there is no mention of side ones, so i thought id ask you since you might be privy to more info than me :p

I would definately be in this one as mine are nearly dead.

i think ill probably be in for a set, maybe once tax money comes in.

looks pretty good, i'd be keen depending on the pricing tho

will this be a continuous production or a one off?
as some of you know im thinking of getting a BA
and i will be very interested when i do

Another one here for a set.

Also interested pending pricing. Engine jumps around like a sack full of rabbits ATM

keen pending price.

I wonder if they will be offered in different duro rubber strength :confused:

Also, tony is a great person to deal with, I have the front and side mounts in mine, and although a little rough at idle vibe's wise, are a top notch mount ;)

Looks like 70, 88 & 95 Durometer.

Dan, Any chance do you reckon of getting a set landed before the 27th of this month?

You'd have to ask Henchman - the guy getting them developed - that.

But i'd doubt it.

This is correct, the prototype set I'm to receive will be 88 duro.

Probably not, I haven't yet received the prototype set yet.

I'm going to ask about some kind of group shipping for the people who are interested about these. Please feel free to PM me any questions.

I think a group buy in about a months time would be great. most people are getting their tax back and seem keen, i even want a set for my BG.

Bump, I had to ship back the passenger side of adjustments. I'll update this again when I talk to Tony Wednesday and find out where I stand with the entire set.
