Ok, when I first put my MM inserts in it was great. Notice a big difference. When I would idle it would vibrate and the steering wheel would shake up and down...lots of fun! Now when I idle its like before. Maybe a little bit more vibration. Have they gone soft on me??

and for the + 1. Since I'm on the topic of wear and tear have this other question. When I first got this neon it seemed like it had more power. When I would shift from 1st to second the tires would squeel...it doesn't do that anymore. I know much clutch went all soft on me but it was kinda before that. Anyone know why it would stop? I got the car this past april so its been a little over 6 months.

 

it possibly could be the tires are worn down and more soft causing them to grip more not giving you the chirp

I noticed that I couldn't spin my tires even with the E-brake on with my old tires on, now i have new ones and i tried the other day and i didnt lite them up, but the sure did spin and I left some nice marks too.. (im an auto btw so torque is nonexistant. i have to use the e-brake to spin them)

also, are you sure it was the tires squeeling and not your clutch? and a worn clutch will rob some power from you. (correct me if I'm wrong, guys)

unless you beat the **** outta the car, i doubt 6 months would be enough to put that much W&T on the engine to where it wouldnt do that

did you check the tranny mount inserts?

my best bet is the tires

 

im unable to chirp second in the neon but i can light up the tires with no prob and thats with high performance summer tires as for the MM do they have a break in time? i wouldnt know since i never used them

 

it probably is the tires. It definitely wasn't the clutch. When I would go from 1st to 2nd I would loose some traction and the steering wheel would wobble left to right for a second. Most of the time I drive this car like a granny so I don't know. I don't even know where the tranny mount is lol.

I don't know about MM insert break in time either. Seems like they lost their effect. But then last night it was kinda doing it again. So it probably is just a weather thing.

 

i noticed that too, when i first put my MMI in, the car vibrated more nothing extreme but somewhat noticeable, now it hardly vibrates at all, which is good for comfort, but i just installed them, have they gone to **** already?
