Bit of an update on the Bommba engine mounts Duffy and I dropped into our daily drives
Righto I've knocked up 3000km and did a track day at Wakefield with these Boomba engine mounts over the last 10 days. Gotta say the car is alot more enjoyable to drive, traction outta corners at the track was awesome with my speed was up by 2-4kmh on the fast sections. Also got a new pb and managed to destroy a Megane, Clio Sport, Toyota 86 and a couple of Puegoet GTi's at the track !! lol . They all has similar spec rubber. Infact the 86 had trouble pulling more than a cricket pitch down the straight ! I was suprised.
Now when I installed em there is an heap of vibration under 1800rpm that disappears but come back with a drone above 3500rpm and gets really loud at 6800rpm. Anyway the mounts seem too have broken in and reduce in sound by 50%, but vibration is still present so I've left the top mount in and removed the bottom one and put back the OEM.
So if you track your car or love to do really easy burnouts or love a car that vibrates and annoys other drivers and pedestrians then the Boomba engines mounts are for you !!
Yes I will re install the bottom mount before the Honda Nats as it only takes a few minute and is worth atleast 0.5 sec.
actually i dont mind the vibration, sort of what you might get it you had a wicked cam and a straight thru exhaust system.
I accelerated past a V8 the other day and the drive freaked out !! lol. the biggest downside is that the rear view mirror vibrates like crazy and you cant tell the diff between taxi's and cop cars.
Tokico HTS struts, I did have Eibach Prokits springs in last week but I just replaced em on friday with Neuspeed Sport springs as the rear spring rate is alot firmer, something I'm hoping will help give a little more speed at the track. Custom rsb and a Cusco fsb. My goal is to get down to 1.13 at Wakefield, and I'm not too far off !! lol
