Default Modification #1 of many

So tonight I tackled the feat of the Poly Motor Mounts. WOW, those were a pain in the A$$ to get out, but once I got them out with some detergent, the new ones from INTENSE flopped right in with some white lithium grease ( also helps with creaking of mounts )

ALREADY I can notice a little bit better acceleration, it bites harder, and shifts seem a little more firm... I also did my new headlights. I took alot of pictures, but will not be updating it until tomorrow night or the following on my website.. stay tuned


Tomorrow: TOG Headers, Downpipe, and SLP Powerflo Exhaust, along with New Spark Plug Wires, spark plugs, and thermostat.

Wish me luck!

Thanks everyone for the good wishes of being home, it is GREAT to be a normal human again

Welcome home Keegan!
I'm not happy with my ZZP motor mounts, WAY too much vibration. Where did you get yours from?

tonight i did my headers and wow what a change, much better sound and performance. helps with the 3" cat back. also the motor mounts enhance the feel. the throttle body i bought has caused tons of problems for me. its a good idea to get a heat shield for your throttle body.

Don't ever get the ZZP mounts... !!!! Intense is the way to go for those...

I never heard anything good about the ZZp ones...I have Intense motor mounts with no problem...

I had ZZP ones in my 98 Grand Prix GTP and never had one problem with them...however I've heard many people have trouble with various Intense products.

The Intense mounts are great... Very little steering wheel vibration, but you can tell it bites harder, and gives more responsive acceleration.
