Jedi-Knight's new M3... page 11

Recommended Posts

VT front mount is in now and enigne is sitting nicely...doesnt feel like any extra vibration so i dont know what all the fuss was about to be honest :roll:

 

Good aren't they!

 

Throw the car into a tight bend and you should feel the mount hold the engine better, but you need the rear one and a solid rubber gearbox mount to get the full benefit....

MoonlightVR, not finished yet unfortunately...soon though soon! :lol: exhaust is now on and sounds great!! highly recomended

 

Body work starts tomorrow...will be ready mid week :lol:

 

kevhaywire, to be honest i dont notice the enigne mount atall....which is perfect..i was worried about vibration but there is no extra whatsoever

 

braking feels a little sharper??? maybe...maybe its just me though?

Heh heh, just think yourself lucky that you're not in a crappy 306 diesel ;)

 

I ordered some P21S stuff and you definitely get lots for your money (compared with Zy/Swissol)

 

It'll be worth it once you get it back though :)

 

I would leave your paintwork for a good few weeks before trying to polish it up though, fresh paint won't take too kindly to some hard buffing (ooh err!)

picked up the new car today. had a 5 hr drive back from newton abbot to get used to it. its really rather good. lovely ride comfort and its not too slow either... just different to the corrado.. thats all i'll say..

 

i managed to take it on some of my well known favorite roads on the way back.....and despite what others have suggested..i still had a grin on my face at the end of the stretch of road :mrgreen:

 

more pics at the weekend.
