also, in the review, state how the vibrations are.

im thinking of selling my speed source motor mounts cuz i can't stand the vibration at idle (especially with the AC on).

 

ahh i never know you have to drill holes. if this thing is too much of a pain in the ___ to install, satoman, you can buy it from me. LOL.

 

so how did the install go? and hows it feel?

 

It's not going to happen for at least a month. Since I have to drill thru the core support, I don't feel comfortable doing that without a lift, so I'm waiting on a few other parts for under the car (rear sway bar, header/s-pipe, exhaust) and I'll do it all at once. However, there have been a few other people that have installed it and I'm concerned none of them have spoken up about it. :?

 

Pics? not installed on the car

 

so what happened to the list of poeple who bought it?? did no one install yet??? lets hear some results.

 

Wtf guys? No reviews?!

 

wtf standard bolts? cars metric... cant people just do metric stuff so its easier....

 

Just got the tracking number in the e-mail. Package will be here tomorrow, pics, review, and product install will be up friday afternoon.

 

ok thanks because i am too scerd to go in this blind w/out instructions. LOL

 

Ill try to get some pics on but i just installed mine today... with a good drill and the right bit this is a very easy install... i took off my bumper and the splash guard which makes drilling the holes very easy... when you have everything out of the way the only thing you have to deal with is a clutch or break line (i didnt really pay attention to what it was) but you can unbolt the harness and it can be easily moved... overall its a love hate relationship....

PROS: you can without a doubt noticeably feel the better tire traction, car feels more solid, for the price and being able to to do it yourself for free very good deal and it sure beats dealing with changing engine mounts

CONS: vibrations have increased (but this should be expected)EDIT to be more specific about the vibrations when driving normally or slamming it you can not feel it at all, when starting from a dead stop and idle are really the only times you are going to feel the strong vibrations other then that its very minimal....at least in my opinion), cabin is a little noisier,

Overall I am very happy with this product wheel hop has been greatlyyy reduced and It feels more solid I highly recommend it, but unless you really want to control wheel hop for the traction and to tame the engine.... the vibrations can get a little shaky and disrupt your inner peace.... So know what you are getting into!!

ill try to get some pics tomorrow and Id be glad to answer questions... Ill be in the shop building some longboards so ill check every so often.... good luck!

 

i wonder if the spee source motor mounts are more stiff than this?

 

 

Put mine on today. I'm not turbo yet, but I have the MMW header that was vibrating against the center frame piece when downshifting or when lifting off the gas. The splash guard is not gonna fit perfect but you can make it work. The vibrations are noticable but the car feels very solid. I usually don't use the a/c but I turned it on and it's terrible. But you gain some and lose some. Installation was easy. I didn't need a lift, just a jack and two jack stands. I didn't take the bumper off either but I can see how taking if off would help.

If someone is riding with you they might think something is wrong with your car but as long as you know what the deal is. Besides it's your car. Hoping to go turbo soon so it will help me even more.

 

Sorry i havnt given a full review yet, i just wanted to drive on it for a few days before i said anything.

I love the way the limiter performs on the car. It alows me to put the power down better, and the whole car feels solid. Turning feels tighter, and whell hop dosnt even exist.

My suspension setup just incase anyone was woundering whats complimenting it:

TRD Springs
Hotchins Fron and Rear SWAY BARS
DC SPORTS FRONT STRUT BAR
INGALLS STIFFY
ZPI ENGINE LIMITER

The rear end needs a little more stifining , and then lastly will be full coilovers probably from b&g or tien.

The vibrations are not bad at all. take off is fine. What you have to remember is that your not driving a stock car. its not going to be quite. There will be some sound going through the car, at every gear.

with the stiffy, and no dyno mat, this limiter is ALOT quiter. with dyno mat on the ingalls, then the only vibration is from the limiter.

the install took about 10 minutes on a lift. you undo 1 bolt holding the clutch line, move the line outta your way, and drill a few holes in the sub frame. bolt it all up and your done!

I shouls have some installed pics in the next couple of days.

 

will this work with the APR front splitter?

 

A front splitter? This attaches to the tranny, then to the subframe. dosnt affect anything with the front bumper

 

the splitter runs underneath the bumper, replacing the splash guard.

the dude up top said that splash guard didnt fit correctly, so thats why i was asking.

 

ah, ok. sorry. I dont have that splash guard, my intercoolers in the way

if you can get me a pic of underneath your car towards the front bumper on the drivers side, i can let you know for sure

 

ill try to get you a pic and send it to you via pm.

expect it tomorrow or so.

its basically the black splash guards underneath the bumper, the ones protecting the radiator and oil pan and stuff, its the flimsy black stuff.

the splitter outlines the bumper, and is completely flat against it, so if the bar goes any lower than the actual bumper line, i would have a problem.. but i really wanted this, so thats why im asking.
