Did I see the wheel of a little red wagon in that pic of the old Torque bushing?? Lol But what kinda header is that ? As well as what kinda torque mounts and how much was that lens cleaner ? Been meaning to do that to mine as well as get rid of my pin stripe. But looks good and I totally agree and support your off brand things been doing the same thing. It's not the money or the name brands that I enjoy. If it catches an eye or makes me smile it's worth the $5 v $500 price tag. You've inspired me to post a thread myself. Oh and almost forgot what you use to strip your Valve cover? I've thinking about painting mine

haha yes... that is a red wagon wheel... my 2 year old son's.... and the header was just a decent quality one i found from a guy on ebay... did some searching for a while... and found a guy that got them in bulk.. thus the cheap $$... and i bought it... havent had any issues in over a year now. The torque mount inserts are from Energy Suspension(polyurethane)... the 3M lens cleaner kit was like $18.... and the lens sealer was like $8 at auto zone... i used them both yesterday.. .they worked amazing... pics coming soon....to strip the valvbe cover... i used "AIrcraft Paint Stripper" in the spray can from a parts store... less than $10.

I appreciate the kind words~ make yourself a thread... it will inspire you to build/mod your car :)

**UPDATE TIME**

Alright guys... so i was off yesterday... and got some more done to the car... came into a little snag... after pulling out the driver side torque mount...

GD It...
Image

But i called advance auto parts and they had one in stock.. so i snagged it and put the new insert into it...and installed it...(cleaned up the oil pan a bit too)
Image

Then a present came in the mail :)
Image

Had my little helper out there with me giving me pointers...
Image

Headlights before...
Image

Then after passenger side done..
Image

Then both done..
Image

Then decided to polish my headlights and use the sealer on them to make them even brighter and more clear looking...The 3M kit is amazing... and sealer...
Image

another after polished..
Image

and another...
Image

outside...
Image

and the cutoff line...
Image

I am extremely satisfied with the motor mount inserts... WAY more stiff... feels much better with no engine movement... other then i feel a lot more of the engine vibrations in the cab now.. but not too bad. The DDM Tuning HID kit is amazing... easy install... and as of now... they work GREAT..... and obviously the 3M headlight restore kit... and headlight sealer... i would recommend both... they are amazing. I also re-did my Fiance's Accord... and they turned out like new again....

from this after sanding...
Image

to this... after polished and sealed...
Image

Thanks for reading guys... more to come~

not my car but it would have been nice to see the proper length bolts used for the insert, as well as slightly larger washers... :(

Yeah i got a key for my lugs now... hope it dont happen again..

I used to live right next to Memorial Hospital in the west end of Belleville... (I think thats all i need to say) ....

I would not recommend to anyone to live over there... or anywhere near west main street... or north belt west.... or most of the west end in general... way too many people walking around CONSTALTLY.. way too much crime.... its getting to be the next east st louis. (sorry if i offended anyone that lives on the west end)
