...a spare few minutes to to some outstanding bits.
To continue slowly but surely upgrading the engine mounts around the car I fitted a Vibratechnics upper mount. I didn't notice any extra vibration in the cabin once fitted, throttle feels a little more responsive but i think it may be placebo...
...is the turbo rubbing on the bulk head sometimes under heavy acceleration causing a rattling (sometimes banging) sound. I've got some Vibratechnics engine mounts and upgraded dogbone mount to go on the car which should stop the engine movement.
Car is quick and the 4k torque rush is...
Ordered myself a polybush upper engine mount insert for 25 quid as I don't really want vibratechnic or ktec engine mounts, hopefully this is a decent compromise
Ive got the newer vibratechnic mounts (dont know if there is a difference) and powerflex dogbone and they have only been on 800 miles and I dont have any vibrations.
I also have another 182 that has the standard mounts to compare it to.
The dogbone would be a sure definite for powerflexing as...
My opinion on the vibratechnic top engine mount , from another thread (didn't the the powerflex)
After a while (a few months) with the Vibra technic mount, I put back the original for two reasons -
First it vibrates the rear view mirror and compromises the clarity of the view. Not very obvious...
IMO the dogbone poly bush does sweet FA.
Do it properly, get Vibratechnics. Hands down the best thing I did to my clio.
Ref. fitting incorrectly - I think the trick is to start the car with them slightly loose or something, didn't fit them myself mind you.
Same as me, got the polybush dogbone already but could do with refreshing the others in the near future. Wife hates driving it already, if I was to go vibratechnic it would hurt my ears/neck ;)
Hi @seanybaby1788 unfortunately I don't get that much discount on the vibratechnics - I have taken 5% off RRP which is already applied on my shop - that's the best I can do at the moment! From memory it works out about £215 including delivery
hi mate - here is the link http://www.sw-autos.uk/collections/vibra-technics-products/products/copy-of-whiteline-front-rear-anti-roll-bar-for-audi-tt-mk2-fwd-models-1 ignore the kink description it will take you to the mounts :)
...mounts feeling a bit loose I bought these
They worked out about the same price as new mounts with powerflex inserts and I liked the vibratechnics mounts on the Clio so thought I'd give them a go.
Also bought a set of bonnet lifters from a group buy on rsmegane that @Matt e has kindly arranged.
Thanks @Russ_16v, I'm actually after Vibratechnics engine mounts, but I can't see those on your website?
Thinking about it, I might take a set of black steering rack bushes too!
@Keith185 cheers for the reply. I'm doing the same and upgrading my engine mounts. Got vibratechnics on the way and just wondered if that was an updated lower one too. Cheers
I noticed precisely no difference in my Vibratechnics drivers side engine mount compared to the standard and a tiny weeny bit uprating the dogbone. Do it.
Just to add my 2 P's worth....
I had uprated to the top 2 mounts with vibratechnics and it made a big improvent. Before you could move the engine just by pushing it. Uprating the top 2 mounts didn't cause much more noticeable vibration. Then i decided to upgrade to the Evol engineering...

I'm on the hunt for an engine/upper box mount now.
I also need new exhaust mounts. Quick question for everyone.. When ordering new mounts, is it just the rubber bit, or is it the full on unit that's fixed to the car?
I have vibratechnics engine mount and purple dogbone bushes and theres no added vibration (I have standard gearbox mount at present though) The only thing that causes big vibrations is my exhaust mount as I tigersealed the gaps up. Thats enough to vibrate the rear viee mirror and make my...
Purple dogbone mount and vibratechnics drivers side mount.
Yeah they are rainsport 3's. Im so impressed as it was my first time on track in years and also at Snetterton where I've never driven before in the pouring wet.
By the end I was almost driving as if it was dry. One corner was immensely...
...dogbone mount to stop the knocking noise from exhaust. Can still do it in first gear sometimes. If im honest theres not a huge difference in feel or peformance and thats with a vibratechnics engine mount and a poly purple dogbone mount bush so if you dont need it im not sure I would for the cost.
I Bought a load of bits from steve, his alloy bonnet and Rh wing, vibratechnics engine mounts and solid dogbone mount, aircon delete, flocked Dashtop, tow strap etc.
The bonnet had a small corrosion bubble in the front left corner so i welded it up and had it blown in. ☺
I've got some 25mm...
