Your old mounts looks completely shot! I replaced mine with C4 stock ones and that was also a great improvememt!

good call. Is there an easy way to check that without removing the tire? I’m not hearing or feeling any air around the valve stem.

Put some soapy water in a spray bottle and spray it all over the tire, the bead seat areas, and the valve.

You should see tiny bubbles appearing at the area of the leak(s)

That looks incredible (the headers). May I ask who made them? I would love to know the cost, if possible.
Thanks!

Spent the weekend at VIR with the Carolinas PCA club having a blast. This was the last photo of the day as I was getting ready to drag my tired butt in the truck for the drive home.....I still can't wipe the smile off my face!

(Sorry - can't seem to get a photo to insert.....) I've uploaded the darn thing 4 times.....I half expected to see the image 4 times....

If they are threaded metal stems which have thin rubber seals, then I believe the bead on the tire needs to be broken to get access.

no bubbles anywhere in the tire. That’s what I checked when I took the wheel off.

Good to know. I do have metal stems. Will have to bring the wheel to the shop. Guess I need some jack stands!

Transmission love;

Flushed the clutch/brake fluid. The stuff that came out the clutch line was nasty.

Changed the transmission fluid to Shell Spirax S5 ATE 75W-90 which is supposed to be the oem fluid. New fill / drain plugs.

Replaced a leaking shifter rod seal.

Replaced the cup bushings on the forward shift rod and remove the rear rod in anticipation of installing golden rod.
