VWR lower engine mount fitted...
« on: August 16, 2009, 09:43:07 pm »
along with the powerflex bush insert for the dog bone centralbolt
and Im giving it a few days to bed in...
spent the weekend in the lakes so it got a reasonable workout.

I also requested to keep the OE mounts to have a butchers at them , the central dogbone bush is weak as anything !

the car is transformed , but has downsides too.
Full writeup to follow , will also add to RR's current product review  :happy2:

....You're a solid kinda fella, Mat! :grin: :drinking:

I'm looking forward to learning what the down side is, john_o. I plan to have the same dogbone bush mod on my next VWR visit.
