Upgraded Engine Mounts

Worth while MOD or a WOT ??? :confused:

If your tracking your car definitely yes, it stops the enginge flopping around on gearchange and if you have a 2bular Jim will not cover damage resulting from excess engine moment. You do get vibration at idle though :wink:

Track HQ mounts here, a worthwhile mod even though I do at most 3 or 4 track days a year at most.

The only downside is a little bit more buzz/vibration at idle/low revs but the upside is the hugely improved throttle response and a lot less engine movement which results in the exhaust system not breaking which I suffered with the OEM mounts.

I had the Lotus ones fitted at the factory - night and day on track but initially transmitted a lot of vibration in to the car.

Totally worth it for you Chris. I fitted the full lotus sport kit but I hear that the powerflex void inserts are ok too.

As said there is a bit more vibration at idle but fine once moving. The other benefit of the reduced engine roll is more precise handling at power on/off mid corner.

They don’t do them in White though, only purple :slight_smile:

They’ll match his helmet then! :wink:

The inserts from powerflex are a lovely shade of yellow!!!

�39.99 inc vat (before the vat goes up of course!!)
Yes lots in stock, delivery next week now.

Great deal… you must have seen John fitting mine! Those Powerflex ones as above are great! A bit of vibration at idle, but then everywhere else is SO much sharper! :smiley:

Incorrect Mr P - My helmet is white (matches suit) with a blue visor !!! :smiley:

How much hassle to fit then - John are you listening ?
Might be on the phone 2morrow !!!

I vote the powerflex ones as well, a must fit extra to stop broken exhausts and the engine flopping around issues as stated, my door mirrors no wobble a bit on idle but that is all :wink:

My stomach now does the same thing.

Can someone give me an unbiased view between the Powerflex mounts and the official Lotus Motorsport mounts please?

I’m told that I can get the Powerflex mounts fitted for around �100 and the Lotus one’s are about �200 all in.

Are the Powerflex mounts just additional inserts that stiffen things up and the Lotus one’s full replacements?

Any info would be great as it’s a mod I’d like to do but I honestly don’t know which will be best. I’m more interested in fitting the better item rather than fitting the cheapest.

Cheers :slight_smile:

IMHO you don’t need anything more than the Powerflex ones, the engine in my car barely moves, they turn the mounts into solid ones anyway and they are easier to fit :wink:

Powerflex ones are fine they do the job perfectly well :wink:

Powerflex it is then. I’ll see if I can get those fitted when I next go to Sincs :slight_smile:

Powerflex here

Powerflex here :slight_smile:

Corrected for you Dude!

Powerflex for me.
