Title: VWR lower engine mount fitted...
Post by: john_o on August 16, 2009, 09:43:07 pm
along with the powerflex bush insert for the dog bone centralbolt
and Im giving it a few days to bed in...
spent the weekend in the lakes so it got a reasonable workout.

I also requested to keep the OE mounts to have a butchers at them , the central dogbone bush is weak as anything !

the car is transformed , but has downsides too.
Full writeup to follow , will also add to RR's current product review  :happy2:
