Hi, i just came back from changing to the mounts on the torque/engine stay bar or whatever its called with those yellow ones you can obtain from abbott racing. the old ones were one royal PITA to remove... i had to use a chisel, hammer, 2 ton hydraulic press, vice, metal saw blades and 4 beers to remove them. after that i put the new mounts in and changed to the winter wheels, i also put on some more underbody coatin (tectyl is the best IMO) and i sadly noticed that my water leak seems to be coming from the water pump.... i dont really wanna mess around there until it gets bad tho. wow. what a difference with the new mounts, but 2nd still jumps out if i accelerate from a rolling movement in a right turn. going straight or left it never jumps out... thats what confuses me. well i hope it goes away when i replace the gearbox mount, could the problem also be the joint gear shift lever maybe? also do i NEED to put a cable tie around those cables under the torque arm? they dont seem to be able to reach the belt at all. ij ust didnt have one handy, but i will put one on soon. ah something else. i noticed that my fan doesnt come on when the A/C compressor kicks in, isnt it supposed to be like that? i saw this one cable going from the compressor .. it looks good, and its the same color (blue) as the other cable from teh temperature sensor. maybe someone can enlighten me what might be wrong. bye simon
