Dogbone mount bolt torque

@CupraST300 I also had installed the yellow Powerflex one, but I also removed it in the end. Under certain circumstances, it will give hard clunking when upshifting (in my car at least). Usually in D, with 50-60% throttle.
Other than that, I don't notice any real negative side effects. I have new OEM engine mounts (fluid filled) and also a fresh dogbone. I recently installed a aluminum insert (only bottom part) and this gives me a better experience than the Powerflex full insert. The clunking under that circumstance has been reduced with like 60-70%, which is ok for me now.

And the divertervalve has been upgraded as well. I went with the Go Fast Bits (GFB) DV+ T9381 instead of the T9351, which still utilizes the stock divertervalve. The T9381 is a full 1:1 replacement which I prefer. 24Tuned gives a nice personal touch to their orders, I like that. The top hat can...

I fitted this one https://www.onlyrevo.com/product-de...b-chassis-lower-torque-mount-kit&engineid=181 many years ago and it was much more user friendly compared to racing line one
I installed 'NEU-221093 Neuspeed Engine Torque Arm Insert' in my 300 and it completely transformed the car! When I first got the car and put my foot down I thought I'd been attacked by an Apache Gunship! Slotted the Neuspeed insert in with not trouble whatsoever and its tightened everything up, bets upgrade I've ever done.
When reversing there's a very slight vibration but putting your foot down (going forwards) it just goes like a rocket smooth as anything. Before I could barely hold onto the steering wheel!
The standard soft floppy thing is just not strong enough for the power the engine puts out.
