Well I got the driver side mount in easy.
Pass side.... Grrrrr
Came out simples. Going back in is a nightmare. I've only managed to get 2 out of 3 bolts to the frame back in. I think the bolt hole on the mount needs elongating. I'll get it off and done this week hopefully.
While I'm at it I'll do the front and rear mounts.
I took it for a little drive, nothing balls out cos of the gearbox mount, but the first thing I have noticed is the increase in noise!!
Faaaack!!
! Its Like having the prospec back on!! It's quieter on the outside than in!!
The other thing is vibes. Lots and lots of vibes. It's not too bad when rolling or wot but at idle it's quite bad.
Still got the ETD on ATM though but that's coming off asap.
All this aside, no more movement, kangarooing etc.
Much more precise. Gear changes are smoother. Very happy. Can't wait to get the others in.
On a side note, when the Ti-C was fitted, there was no b-pipe/backbox gasket, so it got liquid gasketed which has now blown thru! Easy fix, motorfactors tomorrow.
And finally, Oh Hai Der

Got the ETD Removed this afternoon.
Also fitted the remaining 2 engine mounts!
All i can say is....
AWESOME!
Absolutely no wheel hop, kangarooing, engine movement, and best of all......
now the ETD is off aswell, the vibrations aren't half as bad! PERFECT!
Well worth the money, although i reckon the red (60A) compund may be less harsh for pure daily driving.
These little beauts also turned up today...
