Installed motor mounts/Going to Atco tomorrow
after work today we installed my new mazda comp mounts my girl got me for my birthday, the old ones weren't torn or separating at all probably since there's only 44K miles on them but the new ones were about 1/4" taller than the old ones. Car feels much tighter in every aspect, best part is my downpipe doesn't hit the subframe anymore. So the reason we rushed these in there today is because my buddy finally finished his '70 chevelle big block and we're going to run tomorrow night at atco. i know this is kind of last minute but if anyone wants to meet up let me know.
sidenote: with my old motor mount i noticed they seemed to get even softer after everything got hot and i attributed this to drivers side turbo/downpipe heat. Has anyone made up some sort of heat shield for the motor mount?

paul i guess they do street nights on thursday my buddy who is big into the scene thinks so. maybe if i don't break anything i'll try to come back again for improvements, i know this won't go well this time

my girl has been my wife for almost 3 months now so even though she has a horrible spending habit and would probably enjoy sending you all motor mounts we'll be buying a house when the right one come along, so those mounts will have to wait or you could spend $100 and couple hours and enjoy them now

my friend's chevelle has the smallest mufflers i've ever seen, they don't do a thing, that car is probably as loud as 10 miatas with no exhausts. get the cheapest fart can you can clamp on the back

never made it, some kind of accident had me sitting in traffic for an hour and a half, i'm so ******* pissed off i had to pull some strings to leave work early. I couldn't take it anymore i just turned around and came home. it's a terrible route for me to get to atco, right though some **** parts of the city. so no fun, no results, no way in ******* hell i'll be going back, i'd rather live my life not knowing what i/my car can do than ever deal with that bullshit again. sorry maybe i'll hit up some other track someday, maybe not.

trust me i'm pissed, it ruined my whole night!
i'm not really sure what the car will do, i never did get a chance to put my new tires on, so i'm still on really old t1r's, but i still have a bone stock suspension which squats a lot
