actually a pretty well known problem. idk if there is a solution, but I know there's a big post about it on JBO someplace

Common problem. their solution is to get a replacement bushing and wait for it to happen again.

Best solution is to sell it and buy a RK sport upper mount.
the ttr bushings are real soft is why. they use this extremely soft almost rubber like stuff. i dont know how it even provides a stiffer mount solution over stock honestly.
M45/OS crank/2.4 snout. It's nice to be injected but I love being blown!
^^Yah...TTR claims its the same stiffness as other companies poly but ive had both companies poly trans mounts in my hand and TTR just feels super soft. Im surprised nobody has looked at using Derlin to replace them.
I was thinking it was a common issue. Makes an annoying squeak at idle but still works well. Thanks for the input

Decided to take a burnout vid! My cav and my brothers 2.2. The other gold in back is my brothers friend. If you listen you can hear my second gear grind
cav burnout!
Well After driving a car with a knocking engine (believe it was a wrist pin...ran knocking for roughly 7 months and saw 6500 rpm at almost every stoplight), I decided to rebuild one of my spare blocks and experiment with a 2.3L head. Put it together and let it idle and ran fine. Let it idle for roughly 20 minutes to check the temps and such then took it down the road and cranked to roughly 4k rpm. Pulled really good and so I took it back down and sure enough my luck would have it, it starts knocking...needless to say i was disappointed and decided to run it at higher rpm's.
Did a 6k rpm pull and the power above 4k rpm was amazing. i had the secret cam swap. It pulled really well and I wish it would have held but by the time I got back to the house. Anyways pulled up to the garage and the car sputtered and smoked. Popped the hood and smoke was coming from the PCV and intake mani...followed by oil from the intake. so i have a bent valve and a handful of metal from the intake manifold which appears to be piston material.
Now i went to the local PNP yard and got a stock 2.4...might wait to try the 2.3 head again but it was interesting. thats all the updates for now
New rims look great!

Better roll those fenders. They look pretty close to eating your sidewalls in the back.
Yeah I need to locate someone with a roller! The fronts are bad too. I just kinda tugged at the fender
You dont need a roller. I used a heat gun and a baseball bat. I've seen people do it with a phonebook too!
YouTube has tons of how-to's.
What on earth is this car dropped with? From the sounds of it they are not coilovers, so I am curious.
Baseball bat it is! Lol
And they are cut lowering springs I hate to say. Very bouncy. Kinda like a brick on top of a waterbed. First it's solid then it's bouncy. I'm used to it anymore

Good fucking lord.
Been that way for about a year now
Lol it'll be nothing I haven't read already. Yes I know they don't function as planned. Yes I know it's dangerous.
I don't care. I've grown used to it. It's low and corners well. I haven't flipped it or died. That is all
