I’ve seen a few break or bend !!!!

Well you all know me totally OTT ...I doubled up the thickness of every bit of metal including all around the nylon bush which isn’t clear to see with the bush refitted ....it’s now from 3mm to 6mm and 10mm on the T ends ....
It’s sort of based on the original mount but beefed up 100%

Also I’m going for another lower mount on the passenger side ....in the process of making that ....

sadly every mount is solid ...it’s all going to help rattle my fillings out my teeth .....but should give me fantastic gear change and no engine twist on acceleration....we will see

I've got to say, I'd love to see this in action, I'm expecting big things though! I'd like to say my touring car would be there too, but currently I'd be surprised if it moves this year....

Damien took me out for a few laps in this at FCS several years ago and it was very fast, I'm fairly sure he ended up lapping a few people in the fairly short stint we were out for.

I think it was running approx 280bhp at the time, but the speed it carried through corners was very impressive and that was a lot of changes and development ago!

Hi Luke hope your well m8
Your 100% correct it was 278bhp and really only had the engine then and rear Bilsteins plus front standard Black Art Suspension it’s 180kgs lighter and 150mm wider and 11bhp more power 289bhp and abit more torque and drivability .. LOL

It’s a totally diff animal now and god know what it’s going to be like with the Sequencial 6speed box Whistle

Even i can’t wait ...
Thank you Luke
