So incase all you dont know, much like KidJustin, DT9 Designs and I have set up our own blogging site.

www.auto-culture.com

This morning I posted our first feature car :D


I hope you guys check it out and leave a comment or just sign up to recieve email updates whenever we make a new post.

BTW, KidJustin, dhj517, trixiestorm, my buddy Rob, and myself are all photographers/writers for the site.


EDIT: LOL, I blanked out while typing the web addy the first time... its fixed now...

Oh! I installed the GGP Motor mount today, used the 88dm bushings. Love the feel of the car now as I accelerate!

Ted, would you be so kind as to post up a video of the car with the 88dm bushing? Kind of how MightyP did, with the cup of coffee in the cup holder so we could get a good idea of how much vibration to expect. Maybe throw a hand full of change in the other cup holder slot too? I know I will surely appreciate it.

Actually, I dont feel any vibration when its at idle, it has a rough/hard vibration when you rev up to move(I have a manual transmission) but other than that, you wouldnt even know it was in there... I am going to drive it around some tonight after work so I can get a better feel for it. But as of right now, I would highly, highly recomend it for all the manual transmission owners. For the automatic owners, not so much, I got mine used off an auto owner who stated that the vibrations during idle were so much that he didnt want to keep it in the car... I am assuming its that bad in the auto's because of the fact that the motor is constantly humming to pull forward... The rough/hard vibration I feel on acceleration would be unbearable even to me if it was constantly doing it...

Vibrations are definitely worse with the engine under load (A/C is on, radiator fan is going, etc)

sooo. i was thinking, which is ALWAYS dangerous.

i should be considered an "OG tC2 DRIVER" seeing as I dominated every northeast dealer's time on a track with one months before anyone on here besides you had even driven one.

sooo...ill just assume for now that you agree. kthxbye!

Like I said, not worth a video, the vibrations are there, but hardly noticable...

@ Dan, no...

i signed up on FeedBurner, then have a bunch of features

created a headline animator, then copied the URL to the .gif image preview. the cool thing is that when i make a new post...the image automatically updates as well. and i never have to change the URL of the image on any post
