Collins by far the best steve imo, not to harsh and made from billet instead of cast

 

I had no issues with the Vibra technics.

 

Got mine from MsD.... Just like the Collins ones there great.. Steve have a drive of my 3dr next year and see what you think... No different to standard really how the feel.

 

Interesting! I Made my own (top one) by modifying a new standard one by filling in some of the holes in the silicone/rubber bits with automotive sealant (tiger seal from u-pol)!

 

As your 4x4 have you thought about that extra brace mart hadland did on his rs500

Was a small bar type brace that held the arm that comes off the block
Only needed on drivers side
Think it's something to do with higher powered cars kind of having a twisting movment on the engine due to the diff

Could be wrong on the reason but I know he put it on there for a good reason
Might be worth a look

 

2wd here mate

Steve

 

Collins here too, not much difference from standard tbh i terms of vibration noise etc.

 

Collins on mine, seem to work but the old ones were proper shot

 

Steve,

Slightly off topic, is it all built now??

 

I had vibra technics on my old saph and found them way too hard so I swapped them for collins and it made the car feel so much better and that was a good few years ago too

 

Not yet Pete.

Steve

 

Oh shit lol

I thought you was 4x4

 

Ive got vibra tech mounts on mine.They arnt to bad.I was suprised how better the car went.My old mounts were well shot.

 

I just got collins ones from MSD for my 2wd cossie

 

Same as mine... I can't tell the difference in noise or vibration over standard.

 

I've vibratechnics in mine, vast improvement over my original ones as they were split in half

Only increase I noticed in harshness was from the vibratechnics gearbox mount.

 

I can live with that I have just got a set to go on mine.

 

Collins on mine

 

Had vibratechnics on mine noticed no difference

 

A few people told me not to fit the gear box mount and leave it standard.

 

I'm one of them... It felt like the widows was going through.

 

It puts a lot more vibration through the car compared to a standard mount, it's like having massage seats at some revs

 

These were my old mounts lol.

 

Eeewwww look at the muck...lol

 

That's how mine came out too Glenn lol

 

What that mucky...? Shame on you if so mate

 

You clean pervert.

 

Yup lol....I was sweat.ing looking at that pic

 

They had been like that for years.I only noticed when i was changing my steering rack and i removed the engine mount nut and jacked the engine up and noticed the stud part was still in the engine ally mount lol.

Couldnt believe how better the car drove with the new mounts on.

 

Ive been playing about with mine today.The engine bay is bogging.All the pipes are dirty the onner wings are bogging.Will clean it when we get some nice days.

 

Good man get some G101 in there ... That will bring it up a treat mate.

 

Ive got some tfr.Is that any good.A lad at work washed his car with tfr the other day.The car looks clean and his wheels look like new.

 

No don't use TFR... If he's cleaned his car with that he's just took all the goodness out of the paint and all the protection off... G101 if way better that TFR and is a lot safer

 

I thought tfr was a bit harsh.His car hasnt been polished for a long time.He doesnr really look after it.

 

TFR is very harsh on bearings etc and can dry them out... G101 is miles better and wont damage anything .

 

Top info there Mat thanks.

 

No drama mate... Apply it in a spay bottle at the right dilution... Spray it all over under car... And agitate with a brush and wash off... See the results

 

Cool.I will give it a try.Im sure ive got some G101 somewhere.

 

Best stuff for job mate ... Will bring it up a treat.
