that front mount!! and those gas prices!! haha so no noticeable lag going to front mount? probably not that you would notice now with the different turbo, I bet with all the new bushings it feels solid as a rock, I cant remember did you lower the suv or just get the rear sway bar?

Here is one of the Prothane torque mount bushing kits (upper). These are not inserts, they are complete bushing that will require the old ones pressed out. The install was super easy; I guess because prothane did the pressing, I managed to get it done in between cake deliveries. I'm sure some of you may know how to press them out, for other your local machine shop can do it. Back in the day I was charged $10 a bushing to be press out. I have the prothane and stock torque mount there so you can see the difference. It is obvious that the prothane is going to have a stiff solution. I would highly recommend using the grease that will come with the kit, it should be used on all surfaces that will come in to contact with the polyurethane. I wish I had the pull to distribute the kit out, but I don't have that power. Hopefully our awesome shop Heeltoe Automotive will get them soon!

Oh no..... More parts..... Any who, here is the prothane transmission mount insert and lower torque mount insert. Should have more pics on my lunch break.
#854
so will prothane offer these in a kit soon? and are there certain levels of the kit like buying just the motor mounts or buying the control arm bushings?

I would get with HeeltoeAuto. I'm not sure how they will divide the kits, I'm sure the mount insert will be solo. The suspension may come in a master kit, not sure though.

Yeah, that intercooler is tucked in there nice and tight. I just dropped her off at the muffler shop to get the v-band welded to the current exhaust and new bung installed. After that, I should have a decent run for Vit to work on during the drive home.

Should have some videos tomorrow. Btw, I might consider the supercharger, under a few conditions. Built engine, built transmission, and a travel to Eugene, Oregon (Vitviper territory).

Came back to the muffler shop so they can get the downpipe a little bit further away from the....I guess rear shaft or the Driveshaft connection.
The little things....
