You should get the newer black top mounts which are apparently much better
Mike, have you got these top mounts (the ones Ive ordered)?

I've got the old gold ones from the same batch as stuarts since we both ordered at the same time.
I dont have the same noise he gets though.
Ah right, well hopefully mine will be ok too :S

Yeah thats what it did for me at first, and it got progressively worse
In a strange way Stuart, that reassures me.
At least i know its definitely the top mounts.
What coil-overs you got Stuart?
Do we think that the OEM rubber mounts will be best then, and not the K-tec solid ones?
Ide like to know before I fit them? lol

Ooops lol
Well I shall re-phrase;
"I hope they replace the ones with issues"
Thats what I'm hoping for.
02' PH1 172
says they are looking into it, doesnt say they have sorted it.
Anyone know if these new black ones have had all the problems of the old ones sorted?

Just found this thread - after speaking with Sean the other day about having these noises in mine.
Sean was really helpful and sounded like he knew straight away what was wrong with it, so I had to have a peek on here to see what the craic is.
Found play in my drivers side top-mount when me & mechanic were looking for a noise we believed was a driveshaft on the way out.
Thank God I didn't go and order a shaft!
It has a lot more give "up & down" than the left mount. It is also knocking on a bumpy road, and makes a juddering noise on a hard left (what made us think it was the shaft)
The twanging noise as described above seems to be coming from the left side, but I don't get any knocking on the left :S
Anyone else had that?

I can honestly say the AST top mounts are awesome and are a fair bit cheaper than the Mark Fish ones (I think), so for anyone looking for some get a set of them ordered, 10 times better than standard imo.
Hope you guys get your Ktec ones sorted, they seem to be turning into the billy bolt on of the tuning world, just look at their ITB kit.

You seen to have been given some incorrect information. For £2.5k will supply and fit the kit and set up the car on our dyno with a custom map. Our standard base map is so good that the fine tuning of the map on the dyno takes around 15 minutes and in some cases no fine tuning has been required (bearing in mond how many of the kits and car we have done, we have a large range of stock maps).
This year we are working on setting up some UK dealers so should you wish to buy the kit yourself you can then go to a dealer to have the ecu fine tuned.
I hope this makes it a little more clear.
David.
