034 Motorsport lower engine mount impressions

[ganfarr]

Back to running summer tyres on my Cupra 290 ST.
Have now changed to the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S on the front nas well and with the 034 Motorsport mount I think I've finally got rid of wheel hop.
Still had some last year with the stock Pirelli P-Zero's at times and same with winter 18" Goodyear UltraGrip Performance GEN-1 while running the Motorsport mount with both.
Now all but eliminated with Michelin's and the 034.
Very impressed so far with the Pilot 4S on 1st weekend of running on a trip away in a mix of dry and damp conditions.

I think this may be a mod I try. Doesn't cost too much and is an easy Diy install

I get mine tomorrow or weds so will let you all know.

034 mount with MPS4S must feel good. Can't wait to get rid of the contis on the front as they are not great tyres even in the dry they are struggling. 034 mount should help a bit.

I fitted mine at the weekend and can't believe how much difference it has made!

 

[Das Chin]

that is good to hear Jarre.

is it really that much better? I get mine tomorrow hopefully and can't wait to fit now

what are the big changes>?

 

[Jarre]

As per previous comments the car feels sharper and generally more solid. You can put power down better too.

It might be because of the mount but I've changed from the cs5p to PSS and ive noticed little change. Most noticeable change is it doesn't spin as much in 2nd and that's about it .
Haven't tested it in the wet yet

I've found if you give the car a little more throttle setting off in 1st or reversing it pretty much eliminated any judder. Not sure how this will work in a DSG.

 

[Das Chin]

well its here but its absolutely tipping it down here!!

hope to fit later this week and report back

Same here. cant be arsed fitting it today, too cold and wet.

 

[Das Chin]

nice one. did you do it yourself? jack the car up and put on stands?

was the bolt easy to get out?

 

[billman]

Can anyone tell for sure which is the one that fits the 300?

 

[Das Chin]

get under the car and get a pic of your mount. its the only way to tell for sure.

 

[billman]

Don't have the car yet. I have started buying parts to have them placed before it's delivered to me.
Cayenne 6pots are also on the way to me.

 

[kiddo]

Any increase in vibration through the cabin?

 

[Das Chin]

Same as you fella.

Jacked up the car, some wd40, bolt out and mount in.

It was wet n slippery when I went out...no horrid wheel hop, can even get the power down in second in cupra mode and it handles a bit tighter too.

Well happy and what a mod for £47.50 delivered!!

Did not notice any more vibration after too.

Make sure you check under the car before you buy as no guarantee your 300 cupra will be version 2.

I bought the forge one that they recently developed. Don't know why I waited 5 months to do so. Such a dramatic change for £40 and 10 minutes work. Can just drive up on a curb to get under as well. Super easy

 

[Das Chin]

looks exactly the same and in nice black too. was that £41 delivered? even more of a bargain.

 

[strell]

Yep. £41 with delivery. But then their system messed up so I chased 4 days later as it hadn't update from processing. So they sent it next day delivery and refunded me £20. So ended up getting it for £20. Amazing

I looked at ordering last night but ordering is confusing. Which version did you opt for? 034 is less confusing as they list 2 types and give pictures to help decifer which to order. Forge give long part numbers as the only differentiator?? For the sake of £6 I'd be happy knowing I've ordered the correct part
