powerflex engine mounts

just fitted the bottom engine mount.........WOW! such a diffrence :D im well pleased, no more sluggishness when you put the foot down, unbeleiveable! would deffinetly recomend to anyone, well worth the £28 and only took me about half an hour to remove the old and fit the new :p

When you say the bottom one, do you mean the one at the rear of the engine, the drivers side of the engine or the passenger side of the engine?

[fred]

lower gearbox mount.

yeah they are good, wait till you drive a car will full group N's!

A's are too hardcore for my poor southern eyes to cope with.

[TimmoGTI]

Well im looking into buying a group n kit for mine as the bottom rear one has completely had it! Trouble is tried ringing skip browns, no one there and tried GMC Motorsport no one there either. Ive heard people say they make the gearbox whine is that only the group A's or Group N's aswell?

[Quik_Pug]

do they make the dashboard shake? Or is that a different mount im thinking of?

[fred]

They dont make the dash shake, just the steering wheel a bit when your not holding it.

Full group N's and A's willl shake everything....

GMC and skips prob wont be open till monday earliest, maybe even Wednesday!

i put my group n's on, on saturday. Not the lower gearbox mount though and my steering wheel shakes and dash does a little bit maybe due to my suspension though needs adjusting.

When you say the bottom one, do you mean the one at the rear of the engine, the drivers side of the engine or the passenger side of the engine?

the one at the rear mate. you do get a little bit of vibration on idle and pulling off but nothing major. i'd love to get group a's but i won't for fear of my car vibrating itself to peices :p

[carl_xsi]

where did u get your mount from?

[chompy]

Elkparts LTD, was a mate that ordered it for me, exactly £28.14 with free delivery :p but im sure motorsportsworld.com do them aswel

how do harder engine mounts make your car better exactly? am i just being dumb for not knowing?

[fred]

prevent the engine rocking, which stops the engines power being wasted. They also stop the car form lurching when you let off at high revs. Turn in is also improoved buy stabilising the big heavy engine up front.
