fuck...used an old ax handle under the tct and upper shock mount...was able to lift the engine up a solid 2 inches.
motor mount time...
I'm guessing you all do your transmission mounts while you're at it? I looked at mine this week and they "looked" okay, although I can't really put enough stress on them to tell if they're just pressed together but hiding cracks.

I didn't bother replacing mine because they weren't ripped or cracked from age, maybe just really broken in

I think I'm gonna do them all...
I don't want any extra vibration so getting aftermarket ones are not in the plans for me. Almost ordered from Rockauto then read a horrible review about DEA vs OEM mounts.
jtrix! We have the same taste in wheels! Same TL wheels and my dream wheels for the s2k!

Cleaned up the S quite a bit today, claybar / buffed exterior, detailed interior, and changed oil.
Per J's request, here are the LEDs. Nice and bright compared to the old OEM bulbs
Taped up:
Detailed the engine:
Done! Just waiting for that first bird shit

Looks great, Tyler! Love how bright those fuggin things are!
When I swapped back to my amber sides, I must have been drinking and I put my cr side and chrome bulb on the windshield cowl and forgot.
I don't wanna buy a whole new set and I don't wanna pay for shipping for just that so I'm getting one of those too...only $8!

And thanks! It's actually the garage at my parents place and I love working on my car there, tons of space and tools galore.

That's a ripped motor mount if I ever saw one!
The difference is pretty profound after changing 2 x broken motor mounts, let me know how yours feels before & after

Skip to 3:30 if you aren't interested in my other track driving. But yeah, that shows you how NOT to drive your modified S2K. haha
He spun out right after he let me pass. Don't know what he did. I just saw him spinning and the bowl of dust.

Are there any rules for yielding? There were a few moments earlier in the clip that he should have let you pass.

The fact that he spun out right after letting me pass means that he's either a huge noob or wanted to chase me down. LOL

Yeah, I think he was mad. 
I saw him spinning out and I was like oh no, he's going to be pissed off.

x2 I was browsing CL last night and found quite a few AP1s that would be just a hair more $ than a S/C for the Charger.

I remember browsing through this thread before I bought my AP2... which lead me to check insurance rates versus my CLS-6 ... which lead me to AutoTrader ... which lead me to several test drives.
