wasn't sure if i should go get performance mounts or not , have looked online for motor mounts but no one seems to have them for manual tranny's. i did have falken zr something or other 17's on it and the passenger tire hopped occasionally. I now have 205/55R15 snow tires on it and it still hops on a rare occasion, im kinda a tool with diagnosing things like this, mostly get my cousin to do the work on my car. I just pay and try to learn. Any help or feedback would be great
Thanks


My first post!!! :)(rofl)
 
Welcome. And you have a P5 turbo? Thats cool. I dont know if new motor mounts would help much with the wheel hop, putting in a MSP LSD might though. And the clunk...your probably just gonna have to either ignore it or get use to it lol. I wouldnt worry about it though, its common on these cars.
 
I just had my motor mounts replaced and the rear motor mount was broke in half...I made the mistake of installing polyurethane motor mounts all around. Now it's a buzz saw party everytime I start the car. My wheel hop is gone, though, but my motor is just about stock. How much power u pushin'?
 
I'm really not sure what real horsepower i have, as a dyno is unheard of in my area. I do know i raced a 2006 honda sir from 80km/h-50mp/h , I left him behind me after i shift into 4th at 120km/h . Top speed for my car is around 220 km/h. factory top speed was 190 km/h. and tires are starting to kill my wallet. also had an accident and ripped my bumper. and a speeding ticket. the cops love my car :P
