DanGB's GTX2867 4WD Mk2 Leon Sport TFSI - New brake setup

[DanGB]

Be interesting to read how well you think the chassis copes Dan.

As it happens, it doesnt:

Thats being upgraded as we speak! (Yes its a dogbone mount - lower transmission mount)

Blimey.

Too many launches lol

 

[AndrewJB]

Dan did you fit the Engine Mounts?

 

[DanGB]

Blimey.

Too many launches lol

The first launch the powerflex bush exploded in the OEM mount.

Then we replaced the mount with a new OEM mount and that snapped during the first burnout - we still got a 13.5 run though

 

[DanGB]

Dan did you fit the Engine Mounts?

Yes they fitted the VWR mounts, and my god they vibrate alot!

Where did you run the car at Dan? What were the terminals? Hoping to get back to London soon for a couple of trips to Brick Lane

 

[DanGB]

This was santa pod yesterday, so two runs, both breaking the dogbone mount.

I think the terminal was about 115 on the second one?

Come back soon dude! Its GTI Festival on the 14th October back at pod.

 

[Al]

May well aim for that Dan. Will speak to the other half to see if that ties in . 115 is better than it got at Crail

THS ones do on mine aswell, 20x less than on my FR TDI though

What you going to replace it with now then Dan?

 

[DanGB]

VWracing part.

 

[Cupra R]

Hope it's not too harsh.

 

[DanGB]

I think the dogbone mount is the one that adds the least vibration out if the three.

 

[Al]

Thats affirmative Dan - it is minor with regard to vibration vs the other two.

 

[DanGB]

Small update. Its 4WD now.
