My '05 V - Summer mode engaged

I thought this was an upgrade over the stock 2 piece? Why would it vibrate?

the stock 2 piece has a rubber giubo on the trans side as well as the center bearing having a 'surround' to dampen any movement.

essentially the stock ones move all over the place and this one will not which has a chance that if it's not balanced perfectly (high chance) or my car has driveline alignment irregularities (even higher chance) that it'll just vibrate and transmit noise from all of the other fun poly and solid mounts i've got.

i'm not saying it will, but there's a good chance of it.

now i'm sitting over here thinking about how to dumb down my 'build' so that i can save money and put it towards something else.

i'm freakin retarded.

I do that alot, now I'm back on a eh...when it happens it happens thing. No real plans, just calling it when it happens.
 
Re: My '05 V - Headers in. More parts exist. Its slow

after i get into a new house sometime mid next year i want to start taking steps towards a legitimate project car that will have no completion date and that i'll actually be able to build something into my own. i feel like the V will never be that car. there's too many quirks about it that make it not a valid candidate to be my show-n-go car.

Driveshaft balancing is still a thing.
 
Re: My '05 V - Headers in. More parts exist. Its slow

And normal wheel choice is still a thing.

Those wheels are gaudy.
 
Re: My '05 V - Headers in. More parts exist. Its slow

Pretty sure bio has good taste in wheels, and you guys don't.

Mostly because you guys throw bullets on your GPs like mad.

it's supposedly balanced. we'll see how well when it goes in the car. no one's biting on the sale.

they most likely wouldn't look good on my car because i won't be going for the same effect (being dumped low). i need something cleaner, classier.
