Thats how much I've spent on the willy this week. It better love me forever I'm telling ya!
These new engine mounts suck though - the entire car vibrates in idle so much more than it used to!
Gearchanges are pure bliss though now 8) 8)
As said PM
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! :shock: :shock:
My hole car minus the wheels cost less than that lol ....but as long as you happy bud ...good going
Well i'm not!
I wanted all that to get rid of this bloody rust! :lol:
You must be feeling flushed Daz! i hope thats not just for engine mounts mate lol
If just been quoted not far from that to have my body damage repaired and just dont know if i can justify that sort of cash.
I'm proper skint mate - this is all on the card!
Anything that was wrong got fixed - minor things most of them but needed doing..
Water pump, cam belt, pulleys, guides etc..
Basically I drove it in and told them what I wanted fixing and the first time EVER it was all done!
14.5 hours labour lol
Different car now totally - possibly new shocks in a few months and its 100% bar the paint and a few interior trim bits I'll be getting over the coming months..
Just the torsion bar left to raise :D
Standard rocks!
Is that standard mounts Daz, or uprated dogbone and R19 mount as well? Don't want no shakey ride!
Oh plus £200 odds worth of stickers and stuff for the post respray...
standard mounts bar the dogbone which is uprated
Hmmm. Perhaps a standard dogbone for me then...
No biggie I suppose - see if its that first

I tell a lie fella its all of them uprated..
Its not huge but its noticable - wishful thinking may make them settle down but at the end of the day its 100% than what it was so I don't have to do anything straight away (gotta pay that bill first!).
Its great while driving just a bit 'bobbly' while waiting at the traffic lights :wink:
should read 100% better.
Save the edit button!
Where did u get your uprated dog bone mount from? I heard hillpower do these?! How much are they?
get a normanl one, knock the rubber out of the middle and rotate it 90 degrees, and you have 1 uprated dogbone mount ;)
bugger it i'm keeping them - its hardly noticable and the car is stupidly better now - I can't stress how much more precise everything is with new mounts so all you soggy basts better swap over!
jesus the car only cost me just over that to start with before daz had it of me :O
yeh but now its fooking ace 8)
plus you always knew I was gonna spend money on it :lol:

Where did you get it all done ?
NeARLY 1K for the belts doing!? :?
Daz where did you get uprated engine mounts from. cheers maxiboy
I could deal with a little more noise if it gave a better gear change :)
Apart from twisting the original by 90 degree's where can you get an uprated dog bone?
Also.. i noticed on my car that there is a hoop for lifting the engine out on the drivers side near the brake cylinder. There are also 2 bolts sticking out with nothing on them... Thinking a bit like the mini's "ultimate engine stop", maybe a bulkhead to engine damper could be put there :D

Noooooo... Foo!
Auto-services near me - formerly Hendersons and where i've been going for many years - had a fall out a few months ago with the old owner while it was changing hands but the new lads 100 times better, only place I trust to do work on the car.
Mounts were bought from Stromba - uprated and have only done 18k miles as did the springs that are on the car now 8)

I've always wondered what could be made of that hoop :D
