Please DO NOT Post In The General Section

From this point on until otherwise briefed, posting in the general section of Performance Tech is prohibited. The only thing to remain here will be the stickies. We would just delete this section, but that would cause unintended results.


The majority of the threads created can appropriately be placed in one of the Performance Tech sub-forums or Technical; and the posting of them here is detrimental to the activity of said forums. If you have any questions about where you need to place your thread PM me or one of the other mods.


For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.


Everyone will get a couple of warnings from here on out, after that I just start deleting threads.

Again if you have any questions, PM me or one of the other mods.

        been riding without a front mount for a long time. Other mounts aren't filled either. No problems. Accord R33 is running without a fornt mount or filled mounts too, and haven't heard any problems fmro him
        Shift_BOOST

        BOOM!

          cool man... anyone else doing this? ... i mean there is nothing to those f-ing mounts anyhow... and i had heard alot of poeple dont even use them... but i already made my DP to fit around it ... although it would have been much easier to do without that bitch in the way!

              I believe mrx is running without a front mount, but has filled urethane side mounts.

                running without a front motor mount too .. also i have a tein suspension and my 2.5 inch exhaust also scratch on the road sometime .. that skid plate idea might be worth a try lol

                  The skid plate idea may not be such a bad idea. The only thing is tho, my car is not that low, nor has it scraped the ground like that for me to need one. I already have a body kit so may car looks low but the Oil pan is at least 6 inches off the ground.

                    correct. If you can somehow save the front mm...then do so, if not...oh well.

                      Just take that mount out and fill it up its well worth it and it will help when your racing too that shit really holds.

                        down pipe

                        At the shop I work at some people come in with the same prob.We just put the pipe in the bench vise and turn the round pipe into an oval shape pipe to help a little with that prob.
