Looks great
Only thing i'm not keen on are the blue brakes...
Nice and shiny - just cleaned mine, was filthy!
I like it because they are different. They used to be red back in the day...
very shiny, I prefer the blue brakes myself
Don't know what those torque mount inserts are like, but I just fitted the Vibratechnics one to my car and there is a definite difference. Car vibrates a fair bit now when its at cold idle, also a bit of vibration pulling away, but besides that it feels like standard. Engine barely moves now, and gearchanges are alot smoother
I got mine 2nd hand off Gaz, but I certainly wouldn't pay the price for a new one. He got rid because the vibrations were unbearable, so I don't know how those ones in the earlier link stack up

The discs are CRN discs, very cheap and good stuff! It is the 312mm Audi TT setup yes.

Petrol obviously? I see you're thinking along similar lines to me with car upgrading then!
Cheers Dave! Shame it's already looking a bit worse now. The weather really doesnt want to keep it looking that good!

i was looking at the Vibratechnics mount about a year ago, but after reading on Briskoda that alot of the Fabia VRs deisel owners were struggling to put up with the vibrations as that mount is more or less solid
i decided against paying the ~£120 for one......the Superpro one that i posted the link for gives an OEM feel after 50 miles or so, but restrains the engine from twisting acheiving the same results as the Vibratechnics mount....at a third of the price
its a mod i'd easily recommend as it makes for a much smotther driving experience
if you got a deisel, you'll want to order the "70 shure" mount (fast road)
if you got a petrol you could get away with an "80 shure" which is meant for track use, this on a deisel will be similar to the Vibratechnics mount, the guys at Awesome don't recommend this for a diesel.

Do you have one on yours now do you? I think it might be a mod for when I get back to work!
yeah i fitted mine 4 weeks ago, don't notice any vibration, but do notice the smoother drive
Did you fit it yourself?
yeah, from tyres off the ground to back down.....no more than an hour....that inclueded an oil and filter change
so long as you got a bench vice and a couple of steel plates or 25 / 30mm thick wood (ply, mdf) either side of the bush and dogbone to press the new bush in....or a G-clamp would be sufficient

Is it easy enough to actually disconnect/take off the engine mount?Similar threads
