If you can get access to them where you are, i'd really consider the Wevo motor mounts w/ blue pillows. The pricing is great, they're rebuildable (I doubt you'll ever need to rebuild them tho), and they include all hardware necessary to make the upgrade. I replaced the stock, totally blown, mounts with them awhile back and they're great. The only time I notice an increase in NVH is at highway speeds, and the increase is just a more constant rumble from the motor behind you. It's perfect, really.

And are you using these Wevo mounts? where can I buy these in the UK?

I wonder what the difference is between the two, comparison with RS and Wevo.

Nski, you must be joking

Asking about possible vibrations and harshness with a stiff car without carpets or sound padding!!

Not had much time on here, progress so far is shes eventually off the ramp, dolly and rolling on four wheels at last.

Shes waiting for a Decat pipe, before all the rest of the bumpers, side skirts, arch liners go back on. Heres a rubbish picture taken on my phone.

Wheres best for a Decat pipe to replace the CAT?

I bought mine from FVD.de. They have a range of products under their own brand inlcuding a bypass. A good price and light! Something like 130 Euros.

Nski: take old not too far rusted catted pipe. take O2-sensor out. blast it so that it looks new. Cut it open (on the top-side). Take out the catalyising honey-structure thing. Close it again with welding, and there you have it. A stock looking decatted exhaust system (which sounds gooood). If you want to run loud, but without hearing deamage, I can recommend G-pipe, primary muffler, decat. Sounds great without being too loud (I like it loud, but both mufflers deleted is really really really loud and has a nasty drone inside at idle).

Thanks guys, to save trouble and ease may settle with a Dansk decat pipe to tie it back up looking factory.

Progress so far, is all brakes and fluids have been topped up ready.



The front of the trunk is looking tidier now with small washer bottle and plumbed deleting the larger bottle under the front arch out. A nice touch is instead of the little switch under the clocks for the front screen washer jet. Dave Sutherland has plumbed in the jet washer to work on the wiper stalk!



Progress is slowly but surely. The front dash has been cut to fit due to the front cage, together with the under dash and odd bits ready for trimming. Thanks to Chris Dyer here at Strasse.





Still loads to do yet, just gathered all the sills, mirrors, bumpers bonnet, new lights, seals, rubber seals, badges, glass all ready to go on and so on and on and on.

So close but yet so far



At least she runs and rolling, the hard work done. Hopefully she will look more like a car the next time I photograph her.
