Just ordered some prothane motor inserts on amazon, Which combination works best (functional and not that much vibration), I've heard to mount only the front one and the rest oem, or to mount them all except the rear one?

There is no reason to do one if you aren't doing the rest of them. They need sleeves in the pins to be tight anyway.Quote:

Go me!
I got every seam on the car slathered with pour 15 from the core support to the gas tank, then coated it all in 3m undercoat. Next up is taking out the gas tank and rear subframe and giving the back end the same treatment. I'm looking for a good way to eliminate the evap system, or revamp it so it doesn't go back to its old problems. Extreme corner duty on a full tank seems to mess with the system a lot.
Have you seen the pictures of what happens when you don't sleeve them or install one roll stop and not that other? Matt literally shattered the rear mount bracket and elongated the front one to the point that it started tearing the steel.Quote:

The trans and side mount fit fine.
If you have a 6 you won't have vibration problems installing all four. You'll simply love how the car responds and drives with them, all the locals here have all four and you couldn't tell by sitting at a stop light and listening for vibration. The four is a different story.
What's the difference with the 4? I know i read some where that the 4 shouldn't use the Tranny mount if its automatic. right?Quote:

My Hytech headers came today, there's several pieces but you just want to see this:

removed the sound insulation from underneith the back seat and installed my strut tower brace, both nicely compliment the manual steering
just ordered full polyurethane bushing kit, DDM HID kit, and some nitrous parts :bouncing:
a little early christmas present for myself
I really hope you didn't spend the 1400$ on those. Or even a thousand for that matter.Quote:

I know the color is off but I plan on polishing the car maybe ill get it close. Either way looks better than mismatching colors.
Bought HIDs for the headlights and a LED bulb for the license plate light. Also got a 10'' Kicker sub+box and amp for $40.
Fog lights are next check with interior lights to LED.

Lets begging.
Alex, I have yet to see an 8G rear bumper fully match the rest of the body, so I'd say you're good lol. Both of mine didnt match:Quote:

You can almost never color mach the bumper and the body of the car. The plastic of the bumper takes the color different than the metal.
Even if u paint the whole car at the same time??Quote:

If you remember this tutorial:
https://www.thegalantcenter.org/show...arms-7g-and-8g
Well these are the Newly improved rear tow arms. No more washers to make up for the difference in sizes. These have Prothane inserts made for our cars.

Yeap. Even if u use the same paint at the moment. It just how the metal and plastic absorb the paintQuote:

Need more info on this Chris. Message me tomorrow.Quote:

He added 2g prothan bushings which eliminated the need to use washers as spacers.
Ill be hitting the junkyard soon to get those myself.
Thanks. but unlike you i cant just hit the junkyard dodge interpid is a rather rare car here i think manly because its probably a shity car.. same reason i haven't found a 5spd for my G yet very few american cars here and even fewer come 5spd. Although i have seen some Hyundai sonota 2.4l 5spd witch i think is the same. but i have not seen any being scraped. those dimensions really help if i ware to make one of those things.Quote:

Well, I didnt buy anything new today. But i did sell my Mirage. It really sucks but it was needing too much work and was going to end up costing way too much. So i sold it and banked the money and hopefully by the end of December ill be able to post some new pics of what im hoping to buy. lol
