Uprated mounts
- Thread starter Clgale88

Theres a guide around here somewhere telling you how to fit them.
Personally I wouldnt go without them now, they make a huge difference to the general drive of the car but in a good way. I did get a bit more vibration from the car but after a 1000 or so miles this slow went away to almost nothing.

You're the one talkin rubbish here mate, the reactions were all good info
Back on topic; i always changed mine (3 times) back to oem. couple of months back i tried the dogbone from Powerflex and really like it. Better throttle reaction. I can predict that when i choose the uprated top ones that throttle reaction will be superb. I do'nt care too much about the vibration because it's not the daily driver, it's for having fun

i could, yep. It's a far better gearstick-feel too (no more rocking of the engine)
Ollie's Silver Cup
I'm happy with mine; everything seems to have more immediacy, very impressed 
My mounts were fully f**ked though; I imagine going from perfectly good mount to the uprated ones, the effects/improvement wouldn't feel so substantial
I'd say there is slightly more vibration, but in mine it's nothing excessive and no issue

Mine used to do this was surprising how loud it was! The cause of mine was the main mount on the left of your engine as you're looking at it. It had split in half so technically wasnt doing anything lol!
Bought my OE mounts from ECP and they are----------well----------OE. No problems.
Had the uprated dogbone mount done, bit more vibration,felt much better though, still a bit of movement/knocking.
Had the rest of the mounts done, bit more vibration, felt even more better, gearchanges feel more positive, no movent/knocking ever again!! I wish I had done this when I first got the car and save £££'s of labour. Well worth it, plus if you've got the cup pack/sportlines/coilovers etc what a little vibration? It's a Clio not a Bentley!

Mines vibrates more and its fitted correctly but iv only had them on for 100 miles, Just the dogbone.
I still feel it shunt when i let of the accelerator or drop gears and the top mount and top gearbox mount are a few months old in good nick.
If the vibrations settle i may consider the main engine mount from powerflex too.

And all of our cars are the exact same as you? Grow up.
People are giving THEIR opinions on THEIR experience on THEIR own car's.
You might think your girlfriend is a better ride than someone else, Its your opinion and opinions will vary.
Your moaning about the vibration, im telling you theres hardly any. Who's correct? - theres a right way and a wrong way to fit these FACT. Now figure out who's fitted them wrong
Clio 172 Cup
had my knackered dogbone mount replaced with a Powerflex one, can't say I noticed if it made it any worse but then 172 Cups aren't exactly known for their refinement anyway are they!
Dodgy one
Pretty much what i did TBH, i fired it up let it idle and gave the engine a bit of a 'rock' then bolted it all up tight
got both vibratechnics mounts on mine and the powerflex dogbone too, I cant say i notice any extra vibration now after 500 miles it almost seemed to be back as oe mounts, except the engine is solid in the bay you cant rock it at all, the car seems to have more 'get up and go' about it too.
It didnt vibrate badly when they were first fitted though it was minor in comparison to standard
LOL, im with Andyman this is full of pansies worrying about a little extra vibration, heaven forbid! Try having 5 engine mounts
Folk make it out to be like a pneumatic drill lol - Fit them right and folks should hardly notice them

come again?
For me the trade off isn't worth it. If i wanted my car to feel even more unrefined and rattly then fine, I'd fit these, but they are ROAD cars, they need compliance. The vibrations would get right on my tits sat in traffic. They might 'feel' more responsive, but them forces are now not being dampened by the mounts as they are supposed to be, but now being transferred to the whole shell. People then wonder why thier car feels horrid compared to other they may ride in. Go figure!

Silver 182
I would have thought replacing some mounts (not all) may help to preserve the exhaust from moving too much and hence slowly coming apart at places? Or am i wrong?
