Especially with a poly motor mount, lightweight flywheel, and a 6-puck clutch. Good luck to you sir!

Yep, if you wanted a car with good fit and finish you should not have bought a Mitsubishi.

ROFL. I haven't installed the poly mounts and I'm not sure if I will. Now that I'm use to the clutch it is pretty tame. I've killed the motor a couple times during parking lot maneuvers but no big deal.

I don't have a problem with periodic noises but constant vibration/noise that I obviously created is another story.

Motor mounts coupled with aftermarket cams are only going to shake your car loose. Add in stiff(er) suspension, a stiffer clutch, a driveline that has had rubber bushings replaced with urethane/solid ones... Eventually you'll be expecting trim pieces to be falling off over every bump.
