Default HELP

i went to the track today, and after one of my runs i noticed my hood was popped up, i tried closing it and it was nearly impossible. I also noticed my shifter is a lot farther back then it should be, i took a closer look with my dad and found out my hoods not closing because my entire engine is moving inward about an inch, WHAT HAPPENED? what should i do, how much is it going to cost me?

Default don't worry I had to repair my hood a few times : )

what happenend to your car is that you had bad motor mounts , and after you launched the car you took out your snub mount and your front motor mounts ...to fix this you would need two motor mounts and 1 snub mount about $200 in parts and many dealers charge $300-$500 just for labor for this kinda of job . as I said I can help so this doesn't happen anymore and I do have all the parts .

Default It's all about the after-market mounts ;-)
