How old are you 12? Are you even old enough to drive a car? You like running you mouth hiding behind this forum. Nothing but one big fat purple people eater. If you don't have anything Useful to add to a conversation keep your mouth shut. I haven't changed any threads and until the company gets back to me I stand that the MAF sensor on the 2014 1.6 motor is more than a thermometer. I don't give a rats ass whether you disagree with anything I say or not. When you have the lifetime experience and have spent the money I have spent on modifying cars then perhaps you might be qualified to offer an opinion to me. Otherwise shut your pie hole.

A hack is someone using velcro on your sub install. Cat, kettle, black. Too lazy to do it right and make a kiwk disconnect mount.
You're right, that was a hack. At least I can admit it when I don't know what I'm doing. But you? You're just a damn liar.

So you can hit 1500mi in 7 days, yet decided to remove the mount after less then half that? It's cool that you have a high milage FiST but that doesn't allow you to be a dick about it, especially when others have have done the same mod, and stuck with it for more then 3 days. You know what they say about opinions, I don't have to repeat it.
I had to take it out because the vibration was so aggressive. When I say I'm in the car all day I drive around to different locations, take pictures, get back in the car and upload pictures then drive to th next location. Instead of cutting the car off I just leave it on and I could not deal with the excessive vibration any more. And I only start being aggressive when people start attacking. Read the thread.

I started this thread to give my 2 cents about a product I installed. Every post here flat out said there was no way I was experiencing what I said including another person who installed the same product. So because he has not experienced any problems with it I automatically must be lying and their apparently is no way that any vibrations could be coming through the car. And now you because I didn't wait long enough and deal with it it is my fault.

The first post I read was your intro, that was pretty damn agressive. You came in saying you don't care about others opinions , you have a lot of time driving the car(no mention of working on it) so you are right everyone else is wrong. Here is a reminder. Your first post seemed to want a fight, and that's more or less what you got.

So, to stave off all the haters, lets remember, I have more time in this car than anyone on this or any other Fiesta Forum. PERIOD.

One more thing, let's call it what it is, there are 4-5 people on this form that have to comment on every little thing you say and if they don't agree your just wrong and I am not the only person they are doing it to. 99 percent of everything that is said on this forum is opinion because a majority of the people here don't have any practical experience. But they love to jump on everyone else and throw their opinion around. That is not what the forum was created for. like off the wall dude, you can only install the rmm one way. So now because I'm experiencing vibrations I didn't install the product right. I got the same crap from the same group when I started having problems with the Wilwood brakes. Half said I didn't install them correctly. Joe at 2j finally admitted that the problem was the miles. Once we put the heavy duty rotors on the at the problem went away. No more warped rotors and I'm using a bp10 pad which everyone said would not stop the car. Without the seatbelt I can out you through the windshield. I have no fading problems under hard braking either. But becuase no one else had the same problem the problem was me. The problem was no one was putting 6000 miles a month on the rotors. That is 6 months worth of driving.

The problem is not me. I have taken this car where no one has taken this car and it gives me a perspective that is different. I wanted and continue to want to share my experience for those who are interested. Just because I'm experiencing something different doesn't may me wrong and everyone else right.

I'm not a liar nor a trouble maker. If I tell you the car or a part is doing something then that is exactly what it is doing. I have zero reason to make it up. I'm just not going to out up with their shit like everyone else.

My issue is you came in here saying these products are shit simply because you have more seat time and because of that you are right and everyone else is wrong. You didn't give it the time it needs before you came to your judgment, that doesn't make anyone else wrong either. People are showing great improvements with RMM at under 300hp, you seem to be the odd man out. That is all.

You are right I sure did and that was the wrong approach. I was trying to keep hijinx from running his mouth. The purpose of the post was the share my experience and I really was not interested in his nor the other trouble makers bullshit so for that I apologize.

While I respect your opinion and experience with Fiesta ownership, I have to disregard some of your review. Firstly, 600 miles isn't nearly enough time or mileage to give a fair evaluation of a rear motor mount. Most mounts require at least 1000 miles of break-in, or even more in some cases before they will calm down. Secondly, I experience NONE of the vibration like you are experiencing. Everything was shaking? When? At idle or past that?


]
May I ask a question?

Do you have the strut tower brace installed?
Do you have the 6 point or any other brace installed under the vehicle?
Do you have the BC Coilovers installed?

I agree with your assessment that the Breedt piece is very well constructed and in my opinion a really nice design. The fact that you can switch out the bushing, by hand, and just pop in a stronger one or replace the other one is really nice.

The reason for the questions, is I am trying to see if we are comparing apples to apples.

I absolutely believe it was installed correctly for no other reason than I didn't install it. :)
It will only go on one way.

We did actually take the bushing out and make sure we didn't have the 60 installed. So we know we have the softer one installed.
Perhaps, I have other things installed that are contributing to the RMM being overly aggressive and harsh and causing severe vibrations at idle.

I have no harsh feelings about Breedt. They make really nice stuff and I include the RMM as one of those nice pieces. It is just frustrating about all of the misinformation, what works, what doesn't work all based on opinion and personal preference. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it, it is the nature of the forums. So if you could lets use your experience, and help me figure out what I did to the car, that could be causing the Breedt RMM to cause such a bad vibration. As Sourskittle said, it may just be the Breedt is too stiff compared to the others and it is just the nature of this particular product. Maybe the Cobb is softer, but I now have it, I don't want to sell it, I want to make it work as it was designed, but if there is something else that is causing the problem maybe I can fix it.

Thanks for asking. Besides the Breedt RMM my car is basically stock. I have a drop-in filter and some knick knacks but that's it.

If you want to sell the Breedt I'm sure you can get almost what you paid and you could try the Cobb.

It is just such a nice piece. I really want to understand what I have done wrong, and make it work. But you ultimately may be right.

I have the 6 point brace and the strut tower brace and the bc coilovers. Each one was installed by itself and each one added some stiffness to the car in handling by seat of the pants feel. The coilovers are on the softess setting they have. The biggest item that made the most difference was the 6 point brace. The car really tightened up on hard cornering.

So maybe it is all of them contributing to the stiffness. I am moving out west on June 11th. What I may do is have my guy put it back on and drive it around for another week which should be good for at least another 1000 miles and we will see how it goes. I am open to any suggestions you have. Selling it is my very last option. Its very rare that you can find someone that makes such a nice piece of gear.

I can't confirm that the 6 point brace is causing your issues but I wouldn't be surprised if having everything stiffened and connected like that would cause some extra vibration in conjunction with an upgraded RMM.

If you could put 1000 miles on it, I feel that would be a good opportunity to see if it gets more mild by mileage. Mine has tamed down after a couple of weeks.
