We know your a hard working man. Glad to see that this is still moving along.

Kinda OT: Just got my PCM, gotta wait till the regular gas in my tanks runs down, so I cn fill with premium cause that's what its tuned for.

Wish it was safe for everyday driving :/

McFlurrey06 · 10-28-2008, 07:13 PM

Could be, if you can take the vibrations.

I think....

lvemy3100 · 10-28-2008, 07:13 PM

there is nothing unsafe about it for DD but the vibration may be uncomfortable for some...

I know I personally wont be removing mine for any reason unless its to work on the car

If it is supposed to stop movement of the engine and trans, why would it cause a lot of vibrations?

McFlurrey06 · 10-28-2008, 07:18 PM

with the brace the engine is going to still want to move. With this sold brace those vibrations would be transfered to the body of the car.

Thats why.

Ok thats what I was thinking but I didnt think it would really vibrate that bad to where you would feel uncomfortable with it, idk

McFlurrey06 · 10-28-2008, 07:23 PM

Some might be uncomfortable with it, others are function over form and will adjsut to the good vibes.

The vibes are the reason Mark as fang-dangled it that after first instal it can be removed in less than 15 minutes. So you can have in off for DD on for dragging or auto x

lvemy3100 · 10-28-2008, 07:24 PM

the vibration made from the motor runing but since the engine now has a solid link to the chassis you are now going to feel it more so than when it was just the stock mounts. the rubber normally absorbs the vibrations at the stock mount points... this is also why if you fill your mounts with urethane you will also feel more vibration since the mount is harder

edit- guess I was too late..
