    Car vubrates when you accerlerate hard

    the motors vibrates alot when you accel hard, especially in 1st gear when your going for the redline. The whole car shouldnt vibrate unless your exagerating a bit, however dont quote me but maybe you have a cracked motormount.....thats what i cant think of.

    if your replacing your motor mounts go with the AWR Racing mounts.

    your car looks mad nice, there is alot of red on it, but thats your style. I think it looks good. The only thing i didnt like and always tell u to change is to get the red off the rear emblems. other than that its mad nice and the finished product will make it all pretty sweet.

    Driving on ice

    i pulled the e-brake a few times already on desolate roads at 1:30am, very fun till my car faced the opposite way and then turned around to face foward again. around me right now we had sheets of ice everywhere, i really hate it. I feel bad for rwd cars right now
