new mounts in, plus a turbo rocco
After suffering through 3 breakdowns in the last week caused by my inner cv
joint 'falling out', I dropped by Shine this morning and had them go to
town. Replaced were the three motor mounts (f/r/pass) gotten from
Potterman, the drive shaft thingamabob was
removed/cleaner/reinstalled/torqued and an exhaust clamp was replaced,
keeping my downpipe from rattling on the swaybar. The car feels 100% better
now! For some reason (maybe an intermittent vacuum leak caused by the
rocking motor), my cold idle is no longer bouncy and I can launch smoothly
when the motor is cold. All 3 old mounts were trashed pretty well.
I also spent the better part of the morning drooling over an Mk1 Scirocco
with a 1.8T K04 upgraded motor, wilwood/G60 brakes, fresh silver paint, new
rear axle beam, coilovers, SRS rear bar, etc etc. What a sweet looking
ride! The swap was done in Worcester (not by Shine), and looked pretty
clean. Some of the stuff was hacked, like the suspension, and the car had a
bent rear axle when it was dropped off. All in all, it looked like it would
be a *screaming* ride, if the power could get to the ground that is. The
car was gorgeous though, no doubt about that. It's at Shine if anyone local
wants to drool I mean look at it ;-)
