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...
I think I might get the rest of the car up to spec first, cage and seats and put it on a diet.
Just sorted an alloy bonnet, aircon delete and vibratechnics engine mounts.
do a few events and go from there!
...about a month later.
In the mean time I got a sabelt harness purely so I could legally and safely drive the car to him. Also got some vibratechnics engine mounts.
Then yesterday I took the car down to Clio Turbo, left the car in the very capable hands of Andy and his team. Now I'm playing...
...but I keep it on boost. I could easily get over 30mpg daily and had 42mpg on the motorway.
Vibrations I don't notice but I think the vibratechnics are vital mounts if running anything over 230bhp, the thing I would change if I was doing it all again is I'd keep stock springs and top mounts...
I barely noticed a difference between stock mounts and the Vibratechnics.... But as I asked Andy to fit these as part of the conversion I was probably too busy trying to control the increased torque steer to notice any extra vibration that these gave off.
I'll email him to check, I only moved to adaptronic early this year so may already be on the current version. Mines much smoother than previous though. The vibratechnics are good mate not as bad as people make out.
...with trophy rear shocks
OMP steering wheel
Alpine head unit
Flocked dash
Freshly serviced Inc sparkplugs. Also had new sump gasket.
Vibratechnics engine and gearbox mounts.
POWERFLEX dogbone
It seemed to tick all the boxes. So we headed up to 519 to collect the car. The 2 hour journey on...
Ordered these brake ducts...http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/321767058814
Getting ready for track has meant I've bought a vibratechnics engine mount..cheers @DannyR not fitted yet though as at work.
Not ideal to be going on track without buckets or a cage or even decent suspension but better to go and...
...Whiteline rear anti roll bar
Black series powerflex inner ARB bush
Powerflex dogbone bush
Black series powerflex steering rack bushes
Vibratechnics solid engine mounts
That's all I can think of right now, i've most likely missed loads off and it doesn't include all the sensors changed over...
Even though the vibratechnics and ktec ones are the same mounts, go with the ktec ones as the plates are powder coated and will give you better protection.
Ive tried Euro's and GSF they don't do them (only the dogbone mount), wanted to avoid Vibratechnics as I would like to try and keep the car as standard as possible.
...drive much straighter and the steering feels better so thats a bonus!
Just need some sort of cold air feed now ideally and to get the vibratechnics engine mount.
Also with suspension I think I've decided to go for the cup dampers and eibach prolines the advantages being price, low cars...
Sold the cup spoiler and going to be purchasing a vibratechnics engine mount. So I've saved at least a kilo of weight putting the sport spoiler back on and also caused less drag :smiley:
Also got rid of the pointless sound deadening tar by the rear seats...
Minus 238 grams because of the mat...
I was using aftermarket K-Tec/Vibratechnics mounts so they went in easy, it's getting the oem ones out that was a pain in the arse.
Are you replacing them with new oem mounts?
...in 2014.
The car is now to be treated to a rebuilt gearbox with Quaife diff and PMS shifter, and then some more polybushes. The vibratechnics really don't annoy me, the car doesn't vibrate that much, only one piece of plastic around the window vibrates.
My pretty worn RSRs are also coming...
