    Anyone want the Recaros out of an RX-8 R3?

    protege5 stock suspension troubles

    my car is an 03 manual - I guess I should say, it 'feels' like the drive wheel is slipping when under full power. It is hard for me to describe, but when I really step on it, it don't move forward is a controlled method, it sorta' pulses. I'm hoping its just a wheel slipping.. but I was...

    I find that when I give my car all the power it has, the front suspension will shutter or jump a little.. I only really notice it when auto-xing. what do I need to do to fix this? limited slip? new engine mount?
