update time,
sooo i while back one of my motor mounts tore in half and fell off during a launch so i got my self some of these
p1333837_1.jpg

never knew motor mounts could make a car sound so agressive. also installed some dual efans for the summer

uh i forked over 250 dollars for the ebay carbon targa cuz my stock one flew off when i was driving :cry:

BIIIIIG mistake, i recieved it with a few chips and the thing has horrible fitment issues so i returned it

found a pretty good deal on some new megan track spec coilovers, 770 shipped so i couldnt pass those up,

You do realise they were withdrawn from sale due to some strength/installation issues?

Be a good idea to isolate your Rad with some rubber under the mounts.

i talked to suprasport and they said that the fork end would snap because people installed the washers incorrectly and other than that they were fine, took me about 3 hours to get the washers in the right place but after that i havent had any issues or crack in it, and the mounts do have rubber under em i just need to but im still getting a voltage reading from the coolant and the battery so ima pull the rad and redo it.

Digi's give an incorrect reading due to the way they work, borrow an analogue one then if it still has current go through all your grounds and make sure they're clean/tight.

A rad will only last a few months if the current is too high. :(
