Yeah, the attention to detail is retarded. Are parts of the car glass or was it all plastic?

Demitri, we used 2 pucks per side on Brandon's car. It was plenty, and left the bottom of the oil pan ~.5" higher than the subframe. It was a bit of a pain in the ass to get the bolts to go in that way, but it was tall enough no doubt.
The guy who did the actual write up for the mounts, used 2.5 mounts per side but he was running a CA18 and said that it almost hit the hood that way.
stock motor mounts are like 2.75-3" tall

this issue is a few pages back now but if you guys are trying to drift with a cable ebrake my 100% suggestion is to use like 10% foot brake as you pull the handle. it wont really slow you down, but the extra force from the hydraulics being activated will help lock the rear wheels. since the front isnt getting the 100% cable tug too, you won't lock up the fronts at all.
this is VERY common technique and then when you switch to a hydro, if you do the same, you will feel the pedal and handle battling each other over the fluid pressure, unless you run a seperate capiler/resevoir for the handbrake.
I also suggest that your FULL handle movement is about 4 inches from flat to about 45* angle where its so tight you can go past that without Hulking it up. This ensures that you are getting full use without having to have your elbow going past your body backwards.
*If I just pull my cable brake i get the inside wheel to lock... but with the foot break 10% addition, I can get it full locked rear at 100mph.
try it sometime.

Yeah, the spray stuff doesnt workt that great. I've been meaning to re-do my wheel wells. Next time its with a can and a roller.
But all your shit is painted so there isnt really any point in doing it.

Link to what you recommend? Rolling sounds like itd be easier and more doable anyways.
And eh, I have to do some stuff in there anyways, figured why not its just one of those little things that seem to bother me. Plus there is metal showing in spots somehow probably just age and highway.
