Top mounts were done around 500 miles ago ( not OE top mounts though ), so these should be ruled out I suppose?? Is it possible for engine mounts to creek?? I'm guessing these will need doing as I now have nearly double standard power, and all the savage accelerating must seriously stress these engine mounts?? Are these what you were on about Begbie....?? http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/engine-mounts/car/fiat/coupe/1996/2-0-16v-turbo Nick 368bhp @ 1.5 bar

The items on demon thieves, you would want the middle and right one. For me, I have a poly bushed stabiliser bar and the competition gearbox mount Originally Posted by Jonny - After being taken out at Spa Your car is Usain Bolt with wellies

Don't want it to feel like a rampant rabbit though when sat in the car.... Might just do it to a couple of mounts and just renew with standard on the others, should have best of both worlds then hopefully?! Which ones would be best to fill with pu with ride & vibration in mind?! Nick 368bhp @ 1.5 bar

Like I said, I've got the competition rear gearbox mount and a polybushed top stabliser bar, the chassis mounts are oil filed ones from a Dedra.
