BSH Engine Mounts Review Update 2/12/09 page 3

<< < (18/28) > >>

Bogdanbd:
Yes you are right. Im very curios to see if they indeed break in, and after some mileage on them, if they will loosen a bit.
My only issue in this moment is when idling. But I may get used to it too.
Oh, but I just love how it grrrrr's when I step on it  :happy2:

My car has also modded suspension and very, very stiff I can feel any smallest rock/bump in the asphalt, but this does not bother me a bit. For some could be a really problem.

Next week I'll install the LSD and the SouthBend clutch kit, if curios I will let you know how they will work with the mounts.

^^^^
My mounts haven't 'settled' - They've been the same from the first few yards. Vibes seem to be more evident on very cold days but not once on the move.

You may hear slightly different sounds from the engine bay on different days too. I hear my intake when under throttle and also gears occasionally. I love it all and wish I'd done them ages ago.

I have VF Engineering engine mount (upper mount and lower torque arm) on my A3 for one year (about 20 000 km).
At first, I was a bit disturbed by increased noise and vibrations and didn't know if I would keep them.  :confused:
Even more because, stock my car was very quiet.

But after a few km they break in and I get used to them and then just enjoyed the best.

The car feels stiffer.
The steering is more responsive.
There is more feedback in the steeringwheel, or rather a better feeling of the front axle.
The car feels sharper, more alive.
Braking and acceleration are also more direct.
The engine noise is sportier.

And now, I don't notice the increased noise anymore , even during very long trip (1100km one way) But know when I'm riding at 200km/h on the highway I don't get bored any more. :indifferent:
I have the feeling I'm driving a car at 200km/h, and not being sit in an armchair listening to a sweet music watching  cars going backwards.

Greeners:
I've had a set of BSH top engine mounts for a while and have been a little dubious about fitting them, but the more I read the more I think they will suit me and my driving style!  :party:

It's a toughie as I'm quite freakish about rattles and squeeks in the cabin but love the noise of my intake and exhaust...... :chicken:

MAT ED30:
if u lived closer u could hear my VWR race ones   :laugh:
