   hi guys, hopefully get the vtr up and running again soon. any recommendations for some decent engine mounts? and anyone know of any decent machanics around the westmids, needs a check over and oil leak looking at, and if the mounts dont solve the vibrations thatl need sorting aswell.

   dont think there is any difference, look quite similar if not the same to me.
   
   often when the driveshaft have been changed the gearbox seals get damaged, this happened to mine...
   
   after not topping the box up with oil and doing a 300 mile round trip the box gave in....luckily the 300mile trip was to pick up a gearbox lol

   Driveshaft would not make an oil leak. It would only loose gearbox oil.
   
   PM me if you want some work doing
   
   Spooz mounts are ok aswell. Pugsport group N's are ok. will fit those aswell if you want

   The spoox fast road ones are slightly stiffer than the pugsport group n ones.
   And their race/rally ones are even stiffer.
   
   They recommend the fast road ones as being fine for normal use and occasional track use.
   
   Skip Browns do a similar set for same money which is equivolent to the group n mounts.
   
   Looking about £180+ for the full set no matter where you go.
   
   Or you can wait for Kam racing to finish the development of their new kits. Should be same quality as group n's but looking at £80 for series 1's and £100 for series 2's.
   These wont be avaliable for at least a month though.
   
   I am currently looking into engine mounts myself.
   Hope this helps.
