Angry eh!!!, I received my bushings from Bambridge the other day, how long did it take you to do all the mounts? did you get the gearbox ones too?
Good holiday?
Yea you need to get a shot and tell me what you think
Solid mounts are making the exhaust resonate more, think it will make a big difference changing gearbox, exhaust, diff mounts tighten everything up.
Enjoyed Vegas Drinking, Gambling, and shooting automatic weapons! just like Aberdeen on a Saturday night
Went for a test run today with the new mounts its not for a daily driver!
The exhaust note vibrates through the car and it just sounds angry all the time!
I love it
Replaced wee bit of hose on cam cover breather that I found damaged yesterday but got a idle problem when reving the engine, stopping at junctions etc.
Think i will give the ISV a clean out tomorrow.
Had to remove the wastegate to get in to the turbo side centre bolt, but the other two were thankfully from below so oil cooler had to come off to gain access.
Supported engine and fitted new mount.
Noted engine is sitting higher with snub mount tight against plate and my intercooler to inlet boost pipe fits properly now
Also found a burst hose on the cam cover breather pipe which could have been drawing in unmetered air
Passenger side was a breeze after the turbo one and on start up there is quite a lot of vibration in the cabin but as soon as you put the revs up it smooths oot.
Got some mounts for the gearbox but think im going to get a powerflex rear diff mount and fit the solid ones on the diff first because she is a bit sloppy.
Never got time for a test run today so will have to do some tests tomorrow.
Just recieved my engine mounts from Kev "bambridge" on the forum.
Solid engine mounts made from Aluminium HE30 and Delrin Hard black anodised.
Excellent quality and great service
Away on holiday tomorrow so hopefully get them fitted in a couple of weeks
What roller you sticking it on?...I am thinking about heading up to Wallace to stick the coupe on and see what it is pulling
Yea Wallace was who I contacted but they are really busy will have to book well in advance, had the s2 on the rollers at a place in Ellon but its closed down.
Thought about star performance as im often down that way too?
Got some Roose boost hoses and 4mm silicone sorted, been trying to get the S2 on the rollers but the place I got it done before is shutdown and the other place is booked solid
Car is running great but need to look at the handling as its too much like a boat!
Ordered some new engine mounts as one is busted, then looking at changing:
Track rod ends
Wishbone bushes
Solid Subframe mounts
Gearbox Mounts
Rear diff mounts
Top Mounts
Trying to cool spending a bit as was doing a spreadsheet of goodys
