not that i know of. i know alot of people fitter the blox roll stopper then removed it due to the noise transfer into cabin.

Ive opted for powerflex road bush on the front lower diff mount, just need to reduce the engine roll a little, cars apart just waiting for the bush to arrive, hopefully have it tomorrow. Once ive bled the brakes shell be ready to roll, nearly!

are you panning to run big power?

Depends what you mean by big power mate!

When it had its stage 1 done and remapped it was running 1.6 bar and pulling around 370 but that last and hour,hence the bent rod!

So know its having a forged job and if i can find enough funds i will have the hks gt2 turbo fitted but think i will have to wait for that till the new year,which might be for the best so i can run it in then take it back for its remap then have the turbo fitted along with the brand new set of ID1000 injectors i have!

Its just finding another £4000 again after all ready laying out £4500 and it lasting a bl00dy hour FFS:sad:

Sometimes i think of selling mine, i miss the low cost hands on approach you get with a ford, i cant open my toolbox without someone telling me i need a remap or general moaning about crankwalk nowadays. For the price of any evo component i can buy a better ford one twice! I love the evo and love working on it but the prices are really getting to me at the moment, a lot of stuff is expensive purely for the sake of it! And after talking with manufacturers this is FACT!
