Went to the Junk yard, found the bolts I needed, OEM shift lever and shift **** for 21$, not bad!

Installed Hardrace engine torque mounts. Upon start up I noticed an immediate difference in the vibrations transferred to the cabin. We'll see how I feel about this in the coming days (and more importantly how the wife feels about it )

Also ordered NTN wheel bearings for my '96 ITR brake/ hub conversion. $101.64 shipped.

Did a tune up and an oil change with Mobil 1 oil and a Purolator filter.
The tune up consisted of
  • NGK Iridium Plugs
  • NGK Blue spark plug wires
  • OEM Cap (& Gasket)
  • OEM Rotor
  • OEM Leak Cover
  • New Rotor Screw (was scared of stripping it lol)
After letting the cap bolts soak in PB blaster, it wasn't too hard to get off, and thankfully the rotor screw as already in easy view when i turned off the car.

You'll get used to it. I replaced my blown torque mounts with solid billet aluminum blocks, and they're amazing now that I've gotten used to the extra noise. If you track the car at all, you'll also notice a huge difference in weight transfer.

Nothing... It's been sitting in the garage for 3 days untouched.

But, today I had the garage door open and some guy walked by, he clearly saw my car sitting there and said "wow, she's ******* clean man. I'll give $900 for it."

decided to finally an alarm today. Went with the Viper 350hv (which comes with kill switch), with a backup battery and an audio sensor for glass breakage. That should be enough to keep the little bastards from taking my car haha

Thanks for the responses guys! The car def. feels differently, especially in between shifts. Dash is vibrating a little which will take some getting used to, but I like the solid feel.
