Default Frs mk2 and st flo flex torque mount

Hello everyone I just had a flo flex poly bush fitted to my mount which does not even need to come off the car and took around 10 mins to fit and are being sold by Matt (guzzler) at power engineering for around £20

They can supply them in 3 different compounds

Soft / medium and hard

I've got the medium fitted and it's transformed the car for very little money

It makes the front end fell alot more tight and has helped with gear changes when launched hard

Also has reduced my axel tramp by a hell of alot, I tried quite a few surfaces wet/dry / smooth and bumpy roads and I only get alittle tramp on a bumpy road on a hard launch

If I pull away with and then floor it I used to get horrendous axel tramp but now I get none and as said I only get it when launching on a bumpy surface

So all in all I'm chuffed for such a cheap modd and thought I would share it with you guys

I've also heard that lowering springs help too so they are next on the list

Good lad it's a very good mod for very little money

I'm proper chuffed with it

The axel tramp was my only complaint when buying mine but it's gone unless you launch it stupidly hard

here you go

main body off the subframe



mount that bolts to the gearbox



and on the car



took 20 mins to fit and gives a nice feel on gear change and you dont get all the engine movement now and above all no nasty harsh vibration from the solid mount version

I run the Vibratechics and a powerflex bush, scary difference to the standard setup!

I would advise anyone with a mk2 FRS to get this done even those who want to keep the car standard I'd say its a must. For under £100 you wont find a better mod

for a road car the Vibratechics is far to harsh !Matts kit strenghens the mount without runing the feel of the car

I love it Jay the car feels fantastic and when I take it for a Revo 425 map in a couple of weeks I believe it will be exactly what the car will need. Even now its not to harsh and just makes everything feel firm and in place, although I dont drive like miss Daisy and the car does get used on the track as well

Each to their own though everyone has their own preference on how they want their car to run/feel etc.
