You will have to let me know how you get on with the vwr lower mount. Im looking for a new lower mount to replace the oe one with a neuspeed insert.

[Tfsi_Mike]

Ive had the VWR mount for ages!  It needed undoing to allow changing of the smaller dogbone bush but the people who fitted it raunched it on super tight with no copper slip so it needs drilling out.

The mount is very good.  My engine used to move so much!  It now barely moves and sounds ace in the cabin with the harder mounts

[56OctyVRS]

I think I would only opt for the lower mount and probably buy new OE engine mounts.  I have to keep SWMBO happy when she is in the car. She likes the exhaust but I think increased engine noise in the cabin may be a step too far.

It's a great noise!

Alignment should be done by Monday, then handed to APR for Logging.  Dyno Map tweaking on Tue / Wed.

A work mate lives near Lepsons Swindon outlet so he's hopefully dropping 2 of my TDs off for a spring re furb    Then a detail & hit some meets

This is one hell of a motor and a build thread, we'll have to sort a South Yorkshire forum meet up when you've got the monster back

Hoping to be very happy with it when I get it back!  Traction control off, get the R1Rs fitted & put alex's fast road geometry settings & the diff to the test  

Arranged a detail with the very skilled Russ @ Midlands Car care in a couple of weeks too.    Just need a wheel refurb & a dint pulling out of my sill & Ill be happy. (for now..)

Wonder if I need a post cat lambda sensor spacer to cure my CEL with De Cat

  Im skint dude & have a deal with Russ.  Besides Im working on my brother in law to bring you the bus 


Another bit of a setback today.  The Vibratechnics lower mount wasnt fitted with any copper slip & was raunched on by the looks.

Alex has been a star coming up with a solution to another unforseen problem & the car should be with APR tomorrow afternoon.  Hopefully have it back by the weekend
