I didn't want to go with poly engine mounts for the ride comfort. And I got those a while ago for a steal.

Sup Joe, I would probably take you up on that, but my rotors are still pretty new. In the pictures they look bad from the weather because the cars been sitting for a while, but they still have tons of life left. Thanks for the offer!

lol, just drop it off friday, i had to remove all the vacumn fittings. i wasnt sure what i wanted to do with it, ceramic, powder coating, finally decide to just polish it.

plus was removing the altenator for polishing and had a bad moment with it, just to say i had to buy another altenator, there was no way i could glue the 1000 pieces together after my hammer got done with it.

Hey Joe, what idler pulley did you use? And did you notice any real differences? I've been thinking of doing this to mine.

My water temps go up quite a bit during city driving, so I suspect the water pump isn't being spun properly at low rpm's.
