BFI stage 2 mounts all around went in today. This is a pretty simple DIY if you have the correct tools. The motor mount is the easiest, followed by the dogbone insert, while the transmission mount is a bit of a pain due to the location of the four frame bolts.
First up was the transmission mount. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, so well done BFI. None of it was really difficult but clearance for the frame bolts made that part time consuming.
The motor mount was easy, I just made sure to pad the jack while I was supporting the engine.
The insert was last. Getting it started was a royal pain even with it lubed up. Once I got it started a mallet did nothing so I pulled the jack under the car with me and used that to finish pressing the insert into place. When I pulled the 034 insert out I saw that it was bent like I'd heard could happen.
Once everything was all together I took it out for a quick test. As expected, I had Christmas in April from pulling the battery but that sorted itself out quickly.
Guys...These mounts are something else.When I first started the car I thought I had forgotten to put the intake back together, the difference in sound and feeling was that dramatic. These mounts are not for everyone by any means, but I absolutely love it. The car feels raw and menacing before it even moves.
