Default Just fitted powerflex and quick shifter FRS mk2

Picked up a poweerflex torque mount bush kit and quick shifter for my Focus RS off Matt Lewis on sunday

I was a little bit dubious how much of a difference the poly bushes would make but Matt assured me that it was worth it so fitted them today (bit of dead time at work) and other than it being a bit of a bitch to fit lol I can confirm its a well worth mod for very little money
its removed the axle tramp on hard pull away and also appears to of helped the gear change a little so i'm very happy

then tonight I've fitted one of his quick shift kits as tbh thats what I was after from Mr Lewis on sunday and this is truly fucking awesome takes 5 mins to fit make the gears feel tighter still and more positive

So all in all well worth mods from a top bloke for little money

Got a Elevate torque mount and 'Bryshifter' to fit to mine.

Also got a Mountune inlet and recirc to fit to. Expect the car to fell very different once all fitted!

Quick shift kit off auto specialist is too quality, torque mounts make hell of difference, slight but of vibration on tick over but cancels engine threw , any more mods planned?

I did look at the as one but Matts was cheaper and for me looked a little nicer

I would like a bit more power so will look out for an inlet as and when one comes up cheap
but tbh its an awesome set up for every day use
i did look at a full replacement mount but was warned away from doing so as they can be a bit harsh, after i fitted the powerflex kit i had a good go at moving the mount with a 24" pry bar and theres almost none so i'm happy

Glad you like it Matt, told you it would be a good little mod, regards to the inlet save the extra and go with the Anembo best mod i did on mine and get rid of all the symposer/resonator set up

I fitted a torque mount to my ST recently, certainly does make a big difference!

Does the quick shift kit reduce the side to side motion of the gear lever, or just the foreward and back?
