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.
