Hey bro dude.

I just made an appointment with Blitzkreig to have 2 motor mounts, 2 tranny mounts and the snub mount replaced. All 034 track spec stuff. We'll see how that treats me and consider the AWE brace later.

On a second look at the photos I see the stock setup has a cross bar too, so the AWE part isn't *that* big of a change.


The solid rubber mounts all around should give me 95% of what I'm after.

cheers

definitely vibrates a lot more after putting on h-sports (hard) a few years ago. also, my allroad definitely was in a wreck at some point. so, i just sort of chalk it all up to less places for road vibrations to dissipate (h-sport sway-bars). it could also be bad mounts considering how many miles i have, but it doesn't really bother me. either way, you shouldn't rest your hand on the shifter when driving (unless actually shifting of course). or at least that's what the book says.

I'm more concerned with the "clunky" shifting than the vibration through the shifter....especially after having driven the car properly instead of just a test drive.

I'm mostly concerned that my wife will not approve of the effort required for clean shifts. She likes manual transmission just fine, but she doesn't like it when things are difficult.

What are the h-sports by the way?

cheers

Jasper - congrats on another US into BC ar, have you added DRL's yet?

Yep..hacked a DRL to get through inspection and then promptly tore it out until I can get something more permanent in place. There's a thread floating here somewhere.

What I really need is a wiring diagram for the rear tail lights so I can wire them in too. I tried to infer the setup using a voltmeter but got some *weird* data back...so I gave up.

Thanks for the reminder. I think I'll make a post. I think I'll post some introductory photos as well.
