Well, all my science tech nerd shit was correct. adding more hard bushings with the CHE brace actually greatly reduced NVH.

but I can still feel that pulsing under my ass at over 2500rpm. also on the highway I get this hummmm..........[quiet for 2 seconds].....hummmmm....

I think 94a just does not work for filling the mount on these cars. if you look at other cars for examples they only have to fill cracks and crevices, on the 3v you are filling this whole huge area and increasing the surface apply between the top and bottom greatly. I would like to take the time to drill holes but I am a busy guy and the car works now. I am probably going to order 60 hardness urethane and do the stock mount. 60 is advertised as being on the low end, but think about how much surface area is being used. and 60 hardness is for shit sure harder then the stock rubber.

I've noticed that same harmonic type vibration felt in my shifter after installing the Blowfish bracket. It's either inside the transmission or the driveshaft, and my money is on the crappy MT-82 transmission. One day soon I'm going to reinstall the stock driveshaft and see if there's a difference. Next step after that will be to find a dealership I'm willing to take my car to (shudder) and drop it off for a warranty inspection of the transmission (I hope I get the car back undamaged).

Other option is to just buy a T56 Magnum, regear the rear axle to match the different gear ratios and be done with it.

Had a couple broken wires and a blown fuse to top it off, but now all fixed. The wires were replaced with larger gauge wire when the custom door panels for the audio system was made. I'm going to replace/solder the wire with the same size as connected to the window switch.everything is working, but I want to replace the wire any way.
What was wrong with the windows?

I ended up pulling the motor yesterday so now I just have to get it up on the stand. Fucker took like 2 hours to get apart from the transmission.

Go to O'Reillys and get this plug and ditch that sound tube.

I need to get one of those. As I was removing the steering shaft I saw a mouse poke his head in the sound tube hole and ask me what the rent on the car was for the winter.

Lol. Sean good luck Brother!

Thanks Douglas, I'm certainly going to need it haha!

Right now it is in my non insulated garage so at least the wind won't be blowing on me lol. It's going to take me a while to replenish my car fund so nothing is really going to start happening until next year I think :/.

Thanks dude! Funny thing is those were super easy to get to with the manifold off but with all the bolts out it just didn't want to separate.

Bounce dryer sheets! Mice won't go around them. Place a couple under the seats, in the trunk and under the hood when you store it for the winter. I've been using them for years, plus they keep the car smelling nice.

My harmonics started after I installed Prothane motor mounts, but mine is the TR3650. It does it at the same rpm regardless of gear...

Finished off the front end with a "Shelby GT500" nameplate. Always loved the look on the KR.

Crappy cell pic...

Meh.... I Don't think it looks so good.... Now what you need to do is order a new front end and take that one off package it up real carefully and send it to me. I will get rid of it for you. Besides I think the front end should be reunited with the rear spoiler. :beerchug2: lol

Car looks great as always!

Keep up the good work! I love your car!


As for me, I just snapped a quick pic after work of my handiwork from yesterday. Throwing another coat on tonight.




And it decided to rain on me today, right as I pulled into the driveway. Thankfully the garage was empty.

Nice, thanks for the tip Kyle! I will have to buy some and put them around the car.

Hahaha, thanks bro! If I ever get tired of the front end (Ha, never), I will let you know. I ended up putting a GT500 spoiler back on, the KR/V6 one just wasn't cutting it. Just so you know... your sig pic caused me to finally paint my brembos red, lol.

Keep up the good work! I love your car

Thanks, I wish mine was as shiney as yours! Your car looks great. Love the clean look.

Looking great gentlemen!

Thanks bud!

Thanks! The KR front end is probably one of my favorite setups, well... besides the gawdy placed letters on the hood, lol.

First mod on the new car, reused my old MRT hood struts. Discovered the dumb air tube mounts interferes as well as the washer fluid tube on the other side. Both relatively easy to work around.

Looks good, how you liking that new 5.0?
