It's like a totally different car!

Well, my parts pile finally got big enough to motivate me to install everything. Today I put on my TTR solid mount, prothane trans bushings, tsudo exhaust and 2.9 pulley. It's like a completely different car! Shifting feels SO much better with the new mounts... the dash rattles a little, but it's intermittent and I expect it to go away or at least quiet down a bit when the mounts get broken in. Even if it doesn't, it was still 100% worth it. It's not wheel hopping at all, but the roads are still wet so I still don't know how it's going to act on dry pavement. You get a MUCH better feel of the car, shifting is a lot smoother. I haven't been able to feel what kind of performance gains I gained yet because of the wet roads, but it definitely boosts faster with the new pulley. I like the exhaust a lot. I have to charge my camera tonight so I can record a vid tomorrow. There's not much info on this exhaust sytem, and I know at least a few people are curious about how it sounds on an LSJ. Other than the parts I installed today, my car just has GM stage 2 and an AEM intake.

why did you only get only one mount? and then put bushing's in the stock tranny mounts? there not gonna last. the factory mount's are powder cast and break very easily. ive had friend's with stock IRL's break mount's. get her tuned and it will be a different car. scale back boost to 5psi untill 4k rpm's and you will be able to launch harder at a higher RPM with no hop.

You only get one engine mount from TTR. Perfect setup for launch...
boost 5psi in first gear till 4k rpms and full boost for every gear after.
^ Did I mention DRs?

I only got the upper because thats all TurboTech offers. As for the trans mount inserts, I haven't heard of them being a problem so I'm giving them a try. If they break, I'll spend the extra cash and buy the fabbed steel ones from bwoody.
