I tried to be subtle about it Baz, i did! Yeah i have it feels fine. I cant say i feel a difference but its one thing off the list. The list gets smaller quick and big quick.
Cheers.

I had limited tools HAHA FML. It was indeed man. I started at 12:30ish and finished at 3pm PMSL. I was hoping it would take me an hr.
I used a old adjustable wrench and small allen key thing to nip them up tight. If i didnt have one i really wouldnt be able to drive it about. I was in the shed looking about for bits like a dog eating beans.
If i had plenty of spare coin i would really stick it in a garage.. but its the joys of replacing parts yourself.

Right i thought this job would be a simple unbolt, new one in rebolt. NO. I set away a hr before i had to take ma to work yesterday so only managed one! What a chew on. I jacked the car up so the ARB would lower so i could pull the old one off. I must say they are shite the rubber is very thin with metal inside to flex it over the ARB. So putting the drivers side back on, happy the nut and mount came off east i assumed it would would be the same going back on... so the Powerflex rubber is thicker so i had to faff on with my car jacked up and another jack on the ARB mount pressing it tight.
So i only manage to get one done ma shouts HURREHH UP!? anyway i took the car out with the pass orig and drivers with new bush in. What a difference driverside felt more stiffer then it did and the pas felt sloppy. SO yeh im happy with dat. Came back and chewed on again with the pass. Good buy, nightmare of a job.
Pics;
Jack pressing it up tight. It would of been abit easier changing them when i done the drop links but ah well.
After
T50 star bit.
Powerflex lower engine mount next on the cards. Hopefully that stops my loud ish squeak when i change gear.

I went out with one orig and one with the new bush in (because i had no choice) and the drivers side felt much better, more stiffer.. the pass felt abit sloppy. Im not just saying it because one side was new i could actually tell the difference.

Drop links didn't look that bad - from the pictures, probably why you didn't notice much. Maybe less knocking from the front end!
Looks like its going to handle nicely for the road when you are done! Good work.

Na i didnt think they were mate. I dont have the knocking noise since i changed the ARB rubbers. Defo worth buying imo.
Finished polishing the cam cover today, pics tommorow. Went to the scrapyard and got 2 arch clips for the back drivers side arch and a screw for the dial surround! Yes. (well overdue) Now ive found out that the sqeaking is the lower engine mount next to the downpipe so a Powerflex one will be getting ordered tonight! I just need one black screw for the coilpack, inlet side if anyone has one?
cheers.
Next week some new spark plugs and poss coilpack pending coilpack price, ha.
Next couple of weeks or so.., ITG panel filter, Kamracing gear linkages and 2 new front decent tyres. (rears are spot on)

It does it everytime i change gear, tap the throttle, engine moves, bosh.. squeak. I got my dad to have a look yday. I basically had the bonnet open kept pulling/stopping so the engine would jerk to find the squeak ands he said its defo not the gbox one or one under the ECU. He said it moves far too much then it should be anyway!
Mine must be that. The rubber mount itself doesnt look that good anyway! The exhaust springs are fine so. Il let you know if it is when i get it in the post. Im hoping it is. If is not that then il change the other 2 hahahah. horrible embarresing noise tbh..

ECU engine mount is prone to going the pin that runs through the middle snaps then the engine rocks about slightly.
Doing this car some good well done! Need to find the time (and money) to sort mine out (again!)

Looking good prickle! Some good parts used there keep it up. Engine bay is beginning to look tidy too it's crying out for a 4-2-1 stainless and removal of the EGR valve

Well i wish i didnt have to buy a NEW one i should of in the first place tbf. Buy cheap buy twice *sigh. Money id rather keep but at least this one wont snap on me miles and miles away from home.
Once ive bought this new centre section this Thursday and new spark plugs im nipping spending in the car for a couple of months other then cleaning gear. Ive done pretty much what ive wanted to atm or i did..
wanting to save more every week then im currently doing + i want to buy things for myself instead of the car all the time. In fairness i havent spend that much in the last 3 months but since ive spreaded it out it seems like every week and more.
Oh and a pic of the pipe.
ey up
As you can imagine, it was very loud. So atm im rolling with a shit sounding exhaust. Silencer centre section back in with 2".
Engine mount should be here tommorow (IMO) so il fit that on my first day off work.
Most if not all will think im daft but tbh im sick of buying new/uprated parts already. Never ending cycle.
