It's not weird shaped. The top half is shaped like a Rotor!!!

Hahaha so true!!

[AusScare]

Oh it's not in a tin mate, it's in a weird shaped 15cm tall bottle.

ohk you're using a different one to me. This is my one

[Jarred]

Nah you want the liquid stuff mate.

it's in an ergenomically desgined bottle. and has a little cap on the top that had the built in applicator. that's the one you want.

[Mrk_Mickey]

Meh..I'm gonna bump this up to the top cos there's little to nothing happening in the mk3 section atm lol..

So, Tim is bringing me some stage 1 engine mounts on friday, and seeing as I have a shocking engine mount problem at the moment (you really don't want to know) they'll be put in ASAP! I've got to juggle the possibility of seeing you lot over the weekend, having my gf's birthday dinner+party+another dinner AND try and do engine mounts...cos I'm working full time now.

Hopefully my car will be repaired and back on the road in the next month, and then I'll get it fully detailed and everything will be up to scratch . Watch this space!!

[Mrk_Mickey]

Oh yeah...anyone wanna help me do my engine mounts on saturday?? pretty please??

[dom123]

i would been there done that actually not too hard but im workin lol

[dom123]

trust me stage 0.5 is enuffffff! gearbox is heaps easy rear and front ones are ok just need to jack the engine up a tad, few screws and bolts, pull out the old in with the new!

[Mrk_Mickey]

Haha Dom I'm going stage 1 cos it's cheaper atm and cos Tim has no 0.5's in stock. Dammit I wish you weren't working...you reckon I can do it on my own or should I have someone there to help?

[Mrk_Mickey]

Yeah the gearbox one went in fine... the old one moved like an old video game joystick so it copt a face full of bin, and yay the mystery clunk has gone away (only one clunk left). My front mounts look fine, but the Black Forrest ones should be an upgrade anyway, I'll see if it's as easy as you say.....

You don't wanna know about my engine clunks lol...you seriously don't wanna know about my front mount which apparently is too good for a top bolt.

I've got a pretty good instruction print-out for blackforest ones, tim assures me it's the same method for the BFI mounts here's hoping it's not impossible to do on my own!

For your sake, Joe...

[vwthunder]

trust me stage 0.5 is enuffffff!

Yeah I have had the 0.5's for about 2 years.
Maybe I was the first person to have them

I noticed a big increase in vibration

Kind of used to it now

[Mrk_Mickey]

Thanks Mickey, Tim did send me that, isn't BFI 'Black Forrest Industries'?

I'm going to have to get a team of people to help on this, when the jack has those tyres leave the ground...I'm a total noob.
Tell us how you go with them, and don't foget to take some happy snappies.

HAHAHA is THAT what bfi stands for...never put that together

I should be putting them in today but I need to go get them from Tim now...do any stalkers know where he is or wanna PM me his number?? lol

[rayray086]

Hey, didn't get an SMS back from you but hopefully you received mine re: Tim's number? Anyway, how'd it go?

[Mrk_Mickey]

All is well except my hands and arms. Bruised, battered, ripped and split to say the least I suppose.

Worth it though! I'm liking the new engine mounts my car feels the same power-wise but the engine feels more solid so that's a plus. No more movement and no more gearbox jerking in fast gear-changing! I use my car daily and I've driven it around a lot since Saturday...It's not as bad as I thought it would be, BUT I thought it was much worse when I first drove it. lol, I thought ''what have i done...''

Next step is respray and repair! Then after that I think I'd like to try and give my wheels a fair go seeing as I started and stopped that idea pretty quickly.
