Hi guys, just put my new hasport mounts in and noticed that there is a 4th mount. I know that all mount kits only come as 3's. Is there any need to change the 4th as I was still getting a bit of wheel hop lat night at the creek.
22-10-2009, 07:18 PM

What did you get at the creek if you don't mind me asking?
22-10-2009, 07:19 PM

No worries, in that case we'll make it 11ish then, I think I need to catch up on sleep too anyway...haha

yup add the 4th one in. Just picture the engine when ur redlining then snapping it to second, picture the engine movement, it would b rocking backward and forward so if u shove ur 4th mount in it would help

4th mount is probably for the front! Wouldn't hurt to use it. Benefits would be small!

Try and feed the power down by slipping the clutch off the line. This will reduce the wheel spin and improve 60' times and also assist in the vital 1st - 2nd gear engagement.

Steve.....you know that a good run for an stockish EP3 with small mods can do 13.9-14.1, as a few of us have done.

It's all good getting the mods but practice is often overlooked :)

Flatshift FTW......!!!!!!!!!!

Well I only got a injen intake n a cat bak. So I was expecting a low 14 but oh well just gotta get the launch down. In answer 2 nepolian I did exactly that but as soon as th revs picked up it just started 2 jump. I tried all different revs even off limiter lol.
22-10-2009, 08:16 PM

Also where can I get an after market 4th mount from?

Stiffer sussy will reduce that! Practice a little more on that and shifting between gears! Thats where the times will improve ;)

yeah i did some research back when i got mounts and u dont need the front mount cause our stock ones r strong enough to hold up compared to the other 3, only if u turbo the thing then u might need it

Various places, 2nd hand (used), JDM yard, Shift, Ebay .....etc

I have heard from a few ppl that sellers on Ebay for some reason are very unreliable with postage. A close friend waited a week, then got a email that the mounts was on back order, but got offered another style for $xxx more?? Not happy he was!

They do pop up in the for sales quite regularly....

If you're worried about noise and vibrations! Stick to stock mounts!

Best see and get a ride with someone with mounts :)

Yep definatley stick to stock mounts if you dont want vibration and noise. My whole car shakes with the hasports.
23-10-2009, 03:22 PM

Same, innovative mounts have ruined the NVH :P

Great value due to our great exchange rate with US, around $300 shipped i think.

Mugen mounts might be the way to go for NVH.
23-10-2009, 03:33 PM

$300 good luck lol! Mugen! Save your money and buy some stickers!
23-10-2009, 03:52 PM

Innovative for $300!

Mugen are around $550
23-10-2009, 03:56 PM
Philip Lee

seriously it's not too bad once the car is rolling. you only feel the virbration when you stopped.

but the noise once over 5000rpm is crazy.

It is fairly easy if you have done minor DIYs like changing your oil before. There is a drain plug at the bottom of the gearbox on the passenger side that takes a 3/8" drive to undo and then there is a fill bolt (17mm socket) a little further up in the same area of the gearbox. Fill it until the excess spills out the fill hole with the car level, it should take about 1.8L. Both plugs have aluminium crush washers on them so if you wish to replace them (which is a good idea) you will need a 14mm and 20mm crush washer.

I use a funnel taped to a medium length bit of hose to fill it but you could use a small hand pump if you are baller.

Suspension

All

What suspension system is everyone running? I'm after a setup that is sporty yet comfortable as I use this car as my daily driver. I was thinking of getting the TEIN basic damper.

Thanks
24-10-2009, 09:15 PM

I got Mugen Sports Suspension. Good for daily. Abit stiffer than stock and handles great.

if ur confident then do it urself, but if ur not then take it to the shop, not to hard but i had a forklift as my engine crane to hold it up as i removed my 2 side mounts and the rear i tilted the motor forward so it was leaning so i could remove the rear and replace, if u got a engine crane it would help heaps

you will need to pull the switch for a few extra second after closing the window and it should work.
