    Default new tranny and engine mounts make a world of difference!

    Just took her for a test drive and the vibration at idle is gone and the car just feels smoother down the road.

    I did mine a few weeks ago and agree,it just felt smoother. That was, at least, until the centre bearing went bad last week...

    I was just going to ask had u guys replaced the centre bearing and flex disc while you were there. then again its not so hard once you are used to just getting under there and ripping it all apart for something to do. often replacing all mounts stiffens everything up and relays the load they were all sharing before to the weakest point, hence the centre bearing going, thats a half an hour job with the right tools. well done lads

    im really thinking about finishing up my suspension. the front will be brand new once it gets shocks and springs put on. Probly bilsteins and H&Rs

    the rear will probly get new dogbones at the same time.

    if not suspension then a good ol fashioned tuneup and new 02 sensors.

    I am thinking the same things. it would be nice to take if off the road for a few weeks and spend a heap of cash on all the good bits and just get the whole done in one go.
