So I decided to just take my car for a ride to have it fresh in my head what I want to write about how the in-car experience is with this torque strut. Having gone from the near stiff-mounted 80a bushing, to the first revision tuneable bushing, to the current oh-so-sweet bushing has been an adventure. The difference between the last revision and this final one was night and day from the moment I drove the car with it in. There is a hint of NVH when you first take off, but that's it, just a hint. If I drive painfully slow and shift at 2500, there is also just a tiny hint of NVH in second and third. Can I make the car have a little more NVH.. yes... but I basically have to let it get down to around 1500 rpm in third then step on the gas semi-hard. So it happens in a situation that isn't normal driving. Idle is beautiful and feels to me like the stock one did (if I can remember what that felt like still) The effect is undeniable as the engine literally has very little movement possible, yet it's still comfortable. The end result is better than I could have hoped for and I hope everyone that gets one of these feels the same way. I LOVE these cars and see so much potential in them, and I feel very privileged to be working with Mikah to bring high quality parts to the community. Between the tune (that hasn't been fine tuned at all, and I think will be able to make quite a bit more power) and everything else, my car feels and drives great. I plan on going at the Central Florida Autox circuit hard next season so our parts will get plenty of track testing as well. This just translates to better parts for the community since the car is also my daily driver and I see tons of seat time. I'm definitely looking forward to the future!

Thanks for the feedback, guys - appreciate it very much!
This O-Ring bushing idea worked out better than I anticipated; I'm going to end up using it on other projects going forward.
