Ive got the DIRS as well, front race brace too. Just looking to keep the car together, got both parts used and on the cheap!
That front brace came off of mine. That thing transfers gear noise like crazy. If my car was track only I would keep but it is driven daily

by loosening the bolt and not removing it, the bushing doesn't flex as much
Ah, that's what I did wrong.

Could that rubber bushing came loose and the brace is making contact with the ham? I noticed mine is moving a little rearward even though mine used the adhesive and I safety wired it. Doesnt need to be repositioned yet but will be done when I put the car up for the winter.

Every time I’m on the floor under the car it’s just so peaceful I start feeling like I want to take a nap. What’s this deal with cradle lockouts? 😝 View attachment 77896



Everytime I see this picture I can't help but think, "Where is the rest of the car???"

If I take the rubber piece off it is quieter

No contact at all. Ive got to wonder if that minimizes its purpose?

I'm just saying with the rubber in between it is louder, transfers the noise more. I took the whole thing off

Guess it's better late than never. I've been hesitant to mess up the on road manners, but several of you guys convinced me to take the plunge. Install was easy, but getting up and down off the concrete not so much :LOL:
Very good DIY video. Love all the details. Keep up the good work. Hey why is the CDM not doing these videos?

Plenty to do down here in the car culture. Not cold in the winter.

You complain about the rain and heat where you are. Florida is even worst

Agreed and with the state bird being a mosquito there was no way.

June 15th through September 15th. Then it's over. Gets beautiful here when it's shitty everywhere else. I'm not in South Florida and on the coast so it's not bad. It's actually beautiful outside right now for a swim.
