Hey Guy's - sorry I don't think it's gonne be that interesting, but this last week I've noticed a throb/wobble from the engine - mainly when at standstill at lights etc, it's pretty much constant then too and not noticable when moving or actually on the road moving - I know you get that rocking motion sometimes but this is def different
Something sinister like something un-balanced maybe or an engine mount thang

Any pointers would be great,

Thanks.....Si

 

Let your misses out of the boot

 

I would start with the engine mountings and the front gearbox mounting arm which goes from the front bulkhead to the gearbox.

 

No way - she likes it in there - i think

 

Cheers Ty - U know how many mounts there are ? Is the one you mean under the I/C - like a rod thing ? Tech term I promise LOL

 

That's the one Simon.

 

How many more are there Ty ?

Saw a blue Hawkeye for sale today Corner park garage, fabian Way, upper lower Zun grille set and perrin stiffies in a high rear wing - thought it may have been yours ??

 

Not sure how many as I have only seen the one but have a look at the links below for some more information

These are for manual transmissions so may not be the same as yours but should give you an idea.

Not seen the car up for sale and I have checked their website, would be a good buy for someone.

 

there are two mounts under engine and you have the dog bone looking one under the IC , you also have the gearbox mount and gearbox cradle bush which is often over looked

changed all mine when i done my build to the group N sti mounts which cost a small fortune plus changed the small gearbox cradle bush to whitline one

only problem if you go uprated is you get more vibration etc.. but feels far better when you put on the gas

just realised i have posted under kerri's name lol

 

 

So then it was Ker who built the car and not Lee, hmm I did have my suspicions...

 

Thanks Ty - i know what I'm looking for now !!

 

Thanks Mate - don't have an identity crisis !!! I've just seen some mounts on ebay - some STi ones too - a small fortune as you said good tip on the g/box cradle

 

 

Just had text from Simon and it's bad news as his engine has let go on the way to work this morning. It's a rod through block type of failure as well so not good news at all. I'm sure Simon will be on line later with the details.

 

 

Gutted for you mate, any more details yet?

 

Beat me to it, he also gave me the bad news just after it happened Hop you get it sorted si and DC don't mess you about if you decide to go for it

 

Cheers Guy's for your support today - waiting for the RAC was a nightmare !! Didn't know what to do for the best Just put a thread on ...........................

 

No worries mate Saw the thread, just wait for the open cheque book suggestions

 

Lottery win you mean Mate
