No threads on the bolt??

edit: Post quickie review of the CAI, purty please? On further review, the threads actually look like there is teflon tape on them.

Well since your the closest guess so far Mike, ill post the comparison picture.



So, either...

A) My motor mount has torn and fallen thru the bottom there...

or B) (most likely answer)
When i had my clutch replaced at a [censored] local ford dealer last year (Thanks Friendly Ford
) the dumbass tech didnt put the mount back on correctly.

Cause if your looking at the mount in person, the metal is pushed UP from it on the right side (you can barely see it in that picture) and its NOT supposed to be like that.

So tomorrow morning, the car is going to a GOOD dealership to get that fixed among the other things that are going wrong with the car now


Thanks for playing, next time i see you Mike, ill bring ya a cookie.

Well, this is first real 'go mod' on the car...it makes the car sound TOTALLY differnt. Sounds alot more throatier now, and the whistle is alot lounder. Car seems to like being able to breath better, or is that just the right foot talking?
I like it!

Who the hell managed to mess up something like this. The mount goes on top, not underneath. Have you noticed any odd sounds or movement coming from there because of this?

You know, since the car has pretty much been like that since i got it a year ago, i probably wouldnt have noticed much. (Bought the car used with 3000 miles on it...a week later the clutch went and had to be replaced
) We'll see what the car sounds like when i get it back tomorrow.
