$200 mod?

i am gonna order something tonight for my car, most likely a torque dampener. but before i did i want to check with you guys to see what you thought i should go with next. my current mods are in my sig, so should it be the torque dampener or something else for 200 or less?

ZZP springs are a nice mod for about $150 + shipping from Michigan.

* edit: But you live there, so I can't see that being expensive.

Go with the Ingalls... or get Bwoody mounts or the TTR mount.

I guess the torque damper is your best bet then. or the pacesetter header.

i agree. i would lower it. that helped WAY more than the engine dampaner on my car. i also drive on dirt w/ huge pot holes. it just takes a little more time. not that big of a deal. just my opinion.

I wouldnt waste money on the torque dampener, I would go with a motor mount and tranny mounts. I have those installed on my car and damn no wheel hop at all, othe the tires grab.

do you have any links? i understand what motor and tranny mounts are but when i look the stuff up there are upper and lower and different types of stuff so i am never sure what i should buy first. in the meantime i will surf a bit to check on it myself.

A good one to buy would be either the upper engine mount (I've heard good things about the TTR billet mount), or you could get the tranny mounts. IMO you should get the billet tranny mounts.

well it was in combination with the ingalls....which firms things up even more...
but the shifter just feels great. firm short crisp shifts.

if i had to pick though...id do the ingalls first.

makes a big difference

If you are not having traction issues.... you don't need the Ingalls. The motor mounts make the car vibrate pretty bad IMO... I could not commute w/ those mounts! The Hurst shifter is good fun, and yes it does seem like a different car w/ it!!

either way... happy motoring

and I love the color of your car
