Mods and sound?

I can't imagine an ETD that could cause a bolt to fall inside the engine. :lol:

when i said inside the had i didnt mean literally 'inside', but still in where it screws into. :roll: :wink:

I have the mugen mounts and to be honest noticed little difference in vibration

I noticed a noise increase when I had the uprated engine mounts fitted yesterday.

The day I took my car in to TDi I took TP's car for a spin and commented on it being louder than mine in the cabin (we have the same GruppeM, PRC, K-Pro, Full toda exhaust setup). Couldn't think why, but when I got my car back I suddenly realised.

The vibrations are no where near as bad as I was expecting.

Maybe the vibes are not so bad on the EP3. I guess you've got to live with them for at least a month before you can decide you can stand the extra noise.

Hi Aself66,

Where did you get your Mugen mounts from? Did you feel any improvement with them?

Jon - to answer the question you asked me a few months ago about whether I was still happy with the mounts after using them for a while, the answer was no. I have since installed an ETD as well to connect the engine more directly to the cabin and add yet more vibration! :lol:

That's pretty hardcore man! Vibe tastic. Which damper did you go for? I had the 5Zigen for a while but never fitted it. It weighed a tonne

J's racing. Nice bit of kit and weighs very little, fits between the offside strut tower and the engine mount bracket behind the air con pump.

I think it's moved the worst resonances to different revs, maybe slightly smoother at idle but rougher just above that. I've probably lost all sense of proportion on this now though! :lol:
