It's great. it's like the perfect succesor to mechcommander but with a lot more lore and story.

Okay, so far all the feedback I've had from testers sent out - as well as the two local/friends ones I've been having a look at when they come around - are having no issues, sag, exhaust fitment, vibration level/comfort, etc, all are reporting as fine, and the fit for the centre hanger seems...

It's shock loads that kills them, so depends just how sticky the tyres are and how aggressive the clutch, etc, is (sprung clutches shock them less than solids, etc)

Heatshield above the box maybe, with it being hung down so far before?

I don't know about plug and play but I'm running DTA's new dash with an S80 and it looks great, even in bright lighting, don't have a picture of it illuminated though I'm afraid, I'll try to get one this week:

Yes, I would advice anyone getting under a car for anything puts axle stands under there, even hydraulic jacks collapse sometimes. If you don't have anything and it's an emergency at least take a wheel or two off and push them under the sills - better a wheel getting damaged than yourself.

Yes, I need to sit down and write some fitting instructions when they ready - I usually just burn out old mounts (bury 'em in the hot coals when your BBQ is cooling down is another good option). That way they're always sat on clean metal Let me know when you've been for a run whether the...

Is that a "The exhaust sits a lot higher, but mainly because the backbox is on my face because the jack fell over" ?

Spent half an hour scratching my head wondering where the last piece of wiring loom connected, before realising I switch over to solid-state sensors last year and that bit's not needed any more....??

Hopefully a few more from should be fitting them this weekend for a bit more feedback :)

They're quite a lot stiffer even with the honeycomb - it's a pretty hard/strong compound so they're still relatively rigid, so probaby about 1/2 the OE movement side-to-side and about 1/3rd vertically. Just not teeth vibratingly solid....:D

The bracket is actually roughly rectangular - I assume the powerflex one has that cutout there to allow for people that don't remove all the rubber, as there's a bit of it shaped like that on the stock ones. They should all be a good tight press fit but manageable by hand into a clean housing -...

Another one off to Sysak for more testing: :D

Sounds about right, J&R sell some right shite. One of the most bent aftermarket firms going. Wouldn't touch with someone else's bargepole. I'm surprised they haven't killed anyone yet with their attempts at refurbed calipers.

No, I don't - I've got one on a 1.4 and two on a 182 with an aftermarket (magnex?) exhaust on it locally, and Leo trying a couple on his 182. But I'm always up for more people willing get some more testing milage on 'em and feedback thoughts on stiffness/exhaust positioning, housing fit, etc...

Great, yes, time is usually an issue for shiny parts, I've been 3 weeks now waiting to fit two multiplugs that'll take a couple of hours at most to the racer, to fire it back up - and instead I'm trying to get 4 family car repairs done for weekend instead :( And my own has just ficked the ABS...

Yes, I'll probably post up there in a few days when there's a bit more feedback for tweaks - I don't find facebook groups great for continous discussion, stuff just tends to get buried after a day! Good news is there are now 3 test mounts fitted to cars, and the feedback on fit and positioning...

So potentially a small batch of 10 or so, pending testing, and hopefully a few more batches later on with a bit more feedback. Definately not worth making a mould up then, the polyurethane would be a lot cheaper but the mould would eat more money+time than that anyway. Probably looking at the...

Yes, I could do those, I'm surprised there's nothing cheap/decent available though, they're pretty simple.

I'm not sure which ones you mean there, is there another design of mount at the rear on some models?

Ah right, well, I'm only doing these because the alternatives seem to be either shite, or insane money at 75+ quid each in the case of the Prima ones. And still naff :D Obviously if people are interested I'll look at them though, but if there's already something that works...

I haven't even looked at those, I only did the rear's the first time around because my brother is a cheapskate and brings all his cars to me for repairs :D What's the issue with the centres?

I looked at that but if this design works fine, it's a fair bit cheaper/faster to make, and even if it does move, it's faster to make the locking piece than make it all one. It's a different matter if I'm making a production mould but that requires selling 100+ really. I've tried and you...

No, they're polyurethane, same stuff I make engine and subframe mounts from - I don't think PLA would last 5 minutes!

I'm hoping so, that's what the testing is for - the previous ones I just glued in with tiger seal but those weren't an interferance fit like these - although after working on it a bit more, if anyone does have issues down the line I have a design for a mating plate that locks them in solid, just...

Well, it'll fit upside down too, which gives you a bit of adjustment. If you want to be crude an M6 bolt will thread nicely into the hexes for fine tuning of height - I designed it that way in case they needed bolting in. The centre hole is also designed so it'll take mounts from 10mm to 13mm...

Hi all, some of you might have seen my posts in Rich's thread about poly exhaust mounts - I made a simple version of these when my brother used to have a Clio because it kept killing mounts, just a set we glued in, and they lasted until he sold it - but after reading the thread I spent a bit of...

Might not, looks like the hangers are right up near the body. Maybe a set of universal back boxes designed for something else?

There ya go @Leo182: Now, if we can actually just fix Rich's since it's his thread we'll be good :D
