Car shakes when engine turns off?
Is it normal for the FC to shake when you turn off your engine? i mean shake like if theres a hug **** earth quake.
or would this be a bad sign, telling me i should do something like swap the engine soon?
i just got the fc for a month now, theres onyl 163k miles on it, it runs good idles fine, but.....
also could anyone give me some sites for performance parts , i've been searching but not many results....
TY

It seems like no one's ever replaced the engine/tranny mounts before so invest in some PB Blaster or any other penetrating oil. You'll definitely encounter some annoying and stubborn bolts.

Standard operating procedures apply for dealing with underbody bolts...Spray with penetrating oil (as EfiniGirl, I recommend PB Blaster...it kicks ***), then use a brush to clean all exposed threads. Reapply penetrating oil, then let sit. Now start to undo the bolt. If you encounter any resistance, back off and clean the threads ago, then spray. If you have an impact wrench, spray, clean then apply wrench.

engine and tranny mounts arent bad. like arron cake said. plenty of pb buster (i also recommend this stuff. works great on exhaust manifolds) and take your time . clean the threads .
