Random Question thread..

[giba]

Yes, but i was just wondering wether they would need replacing soon because ive been driving with a broken drivers side one. Thats all.

If you dont want AWR, Wholesale Suspensions on here sell Hardrace mounts:

I have the 4 AWR 70duro mounts in my car, I still prefer it over stock, vibes aside

[TheMAN]

as I told you days ago, you need to replace that driver side mount soon or you risk breaking the other mounts, which ADDS to your repair costs

[giba]

Ok. Well i just sent wholesale suspension a pm asking if they can just do the Drivers side MM. See what price they can give me...
Looking at the AWR website makes me want to buy an AutoExe front lip again!!! Argh....

[giba]

Ok calm down TheMAN..
Depending on the price they give me, it will prob be between their mount and the MSP one you can get because i'm not paying over $200 shipping for a $160 mount from AWR

[TheMAN]

you're probably better off with the hardrace mount... it'll be cheaper and quicker to get I think
honestly, I forgot those mounts existed... not much discussions about them

[giba]

I'll let you know either way. Thanks

Giba - go the AWR mounts over engineered to hell and email AWR directly and they will do a better courier cost for you :-)

[Ice88]

Yeah email tony, online postage quote is no where near accurate.

I paid 75 delivered for a complete set.

[TheMAN]

if he gets AWR, he will need to go all the way or just the front and rear mounts... using just the driver side AWR mount will cause severe imbalance of how the powertrain moves

even inserts can only do so much

hardrace is the most logical choice without touching the rest of the mounts

[Ice88]

I wouldn't bother with hardrace mounts tbh, same design flaws IIRC just a bit stiffer.

Grab a AWR front and side mount then use inserts for the rest. Specially the rear that's the one that creates the most vibrations apparently

[TheMAN]

the stiffer driver side mount balances out the lateral twisting forces from the engine, it fixes the design flaw issue on a low torque engine like the FS-DE or FS-ZE... but too stiff, the imbalance goes the other way, which works against what you're trying to accomplish

I must admit Marc's car does "hook up" well with those mounts fitted - don't know if I could drive it every day with the vib it gets

[chewyryce]

I know I can't, that's why I concocted a combination of various different mounts from different models of the BJ and made it all work pretty good

but as for giba, I think he's trying to keep his costs down as much as possible.... all 4 AWR mounts isn't really what I consider "low budget"

[Clean_Cookie]

Gun shops or camping stores sometimes have them for $$$, Sunday markets are the vest bet for the plastic sort.

Gun shops have em in there amo section

I buy all my gear at browns plains

[chewyryce]

dont think i can buy pellets from a gun shop without a licence? hmm. i'll give it a go anyway .

Thanks guys

[TheMAN]

buy on ebay?

[chewyryce]

BB guns are illegal here. unless you have a gun licence. and im not sure if it will pass through customs. so i'd rather buy locally. and no local ebayer sells pellets
