Looks the part and should improve the handling quite a lot. :)

So I have now fitted another one and set it to 14-15psi (~1bar). The difference is amazing! Cant wait for the next track day now!

]]> Fitted a new Powerflex polyurethane bush to the upper engine mount this evening. This was the most annoying  job I’ve done for a while. I could not for the life of me get it to fit, but eventually i prevailed!

The car now sounds amazing inside, you can hear the 5 cylinder roar. :)

Did an oil change whilst I was at it.

Went quite well, found out I was running very low boost afterwards though so hopefully will be faster next time! :)
