right fellas i need some help from u
ive been talking to a poly bushes supplier i buy from and he said if i can find out what the interest would be in poly bushes at a reasonable price for the GTiR he would look into making them
them.
2 things i need from u guys is?

whos interested in bushes at sensible money
(for instance the bushes they do for a cossie are only 100 quid for the whole car and are good quality as ive sold quite a few sets now)

so need names for that

and secondly has anyone got the old bushes they took off when they fitted there poly bushes so i could send them to my guy to look at

also has anyone got a set of old enigine mounts that i could send away or buy off u as i maybe able to get these made again at sensible money rather than jap prices


need a new turbo or a hybrid get in touch

If you can do the set for a similar price to the Cossie set I'd be interested.

yeah the reason i wanted to get these made up for every one is that they will be a lot easier to get hold of than whiteline and probably half the price of powerflex as they charge silly money
ive just finished putting all my superflex bushes on now so ill c how they go and get sets made up like them

12 for the rear trailing arms, 4 for the rear diff subframe, 4 for the sway bars, 4 fro the front control arms and 2 for the steering rack....all together 26bushes....and remember the metal inserts you will need with most of them...the rear trailing arm bushes to be exact

Are the original metal inserts not re-usable? Or are they usually battered after removal? :oops:

Guest
the origional metal inserts are kinda epoxied or just plain stuck to the origional rubber....you would have to sit there and shave the rubber off of the metal insert and that would ad HOURS to the installation time....it would be easier to just get inserts mad...its only a tube of high grade steel....surely you guys have that up there?

As for Engine Mounts, check out these... they are simply filled with molten urethane and dried.

I fitted a set 2 weeks ago. They are bloody stiff... basically at idle the entire idle vibration comes through the car, although other folks here say their install did not create as much effect as I describe mine.

But they do stiffen up the engine, and torque delivery through medium and tight corners when at the extreme of road adhesion is clearly improved. The first dry night I went out, I kept oversteering thru the exit of hard corners.

Urgent

Anybody know where I can get steering rack only mounts from. I need them urgently and the SuperFlex ones dont fit.

Allen does them, they are Superflex but the first batch was the wrong design. The new ones fit now.
