Solid Mounts, New Exhaust, etc.

I've been pretty lazy again and haven't been updating this blog. I picked up and installed the trifecta of solid mounts from Aluminati. This includes motor mounts, transmission mount, and pitch stop mount, all made from solid billet aluminum and very high quality. The car feels like a completely different beast now! A lot more vibrations and rattles here and there, but the connection and predictability I can now feel with the vehicle is beyond worth it. I didn't buy the car to drive luxuriously anyway. The turboback exhaust went up for sale as well, since I had a custom pipe made for the car. I'll let the pics explain for themselves. Turbo from Steam Speed got pushed back yet again. As of right now, I'm waiting for a journal bearing STX67. Really hoping it gets here in time before my dyno tune in June. Other than that, I'll be modifying the bumper some more to accommodate for the new exhaust and I'll get around to wrapping the pipe whenever my PTP Lava Wrap gets here. I'll try to do a better job of updating this blog in a more organized fashion. >_< Video to first start with new exhaust! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HqcmWcL01w
