Cheers mam, it is super light.
I'm finding that replacing bushes and mounts makes more difference than any mods could ever do. Changing those engine mounts made driving the car more pleasant.
 
your right there ally, when i put the spoon mounts on it transformed the car
 
Not much done, noticed the battery tray was rusty and so was the top holder. Popped to a friend's to sand blast and paint, cost nothing and makes a nice difference.

Old one wasn't that bad, but it doesn't take too much abuse compared to the rear or torque mounts.

Still have a little knock from the rear, suspect the D bushes that I didn't changed when I did the RTA and drop links, so will order some super pro ones.
 
Looking nice and clean,
Surprising how much difference fresh mounts and bushes can make,
Makes them a lot more pleasant to drive,

P.s is this you?

Yes! No more awful OEM wheels with with ass-wad tyres.

15x7 slipstreams with R888. Finally feels like my old DC2 used to in the bends, solid and no side wall wobble. It feels like a Type R now :bow:
