ive tried using search to find the answers but cant find what im looking for

i have a fiesta rs turbo that has a zetec turbo fitted and when letting off the throttle i get a clonking sound which has led me to a weak engine mount.

what mount does everyone use, i understand its just a standard one modified to bolt up to the engine? is this correct?

and the clutch is very on off even though its a organic plate with ford cover, can you fit the mk6 pedal conversion in a fiesta like the escorts?

and do they ride better on 15"/16" wheels because its lowered 60mm and has stock wheels and it doesnt ride to good compaired to my escort?
would it be better with about -30 and 15/16" wheels?

the gearbox mounts ive had loads on my s1 van i found best ones oare normals but use tiger seal or windscreen bond fill all the open areas that does the trick as for suspension thats upto you

Adam.

Is it a helix clutch Mark?.....i also have the same clunk and i cant locate it for shit, it even passed its mot with no issues, but i have vibratechnics fitted, its doing my head in!

its horrid, im going to tigerseal all the gaps in the rubbers

and its so lowered the steering arm angles are stupid, but i got a knock when you shack the steering side to side and i think its the steering arm on the o/s so it could be that? wheel could be moving about under load and snapping back when letting off

i got a few quid spare so im just going to run through the whole front end, new rack, new steering knuckle, new mounts, and its got new arms, and then see
