As my dogbones knackered got a 2nd hand one and put powerflex bushes in and polished it up a little bit. Red powerflex diesel rear with powerflex front bush

Hopefully all will be fitted this weekend :)


Cheers
 
Nice car, looks clean! :D Pretty much identical to mine (thread coming soon)

Any noticeable increase in vibration since you fitted the powerflex dogbone bushes?

Keep up the good work
 
Looks mint buddy, liking the rear wipe and the ibiza gearnob.
What benefit does the dogbone mount give btw??

Cheers

Uprate dogbone mount reduces engine movement under harsh acceleration enabling more power to be put onto the tarmac, also reduces 'wheel hop' and wheelspin

Negative is it increases cabin vibration as there isnt as much give. Thats why ive opted for the red diesel main bush as it has a lesser shore rating than the yellow petrol one so hopefully the vibes wont be too bad

Proof in the pudding will come tomorrow :)
 
Fitted the dogbone today!

Omg what a mission! Took me the good part of an hour to smash the old one off :O

Was mega corroded on!

Old one

Couldnt be bothered fitting my tt front arb as it looks too much work!

Verdict! Omg what a massive improvement. Actually very very little vibration at idle! Would recommend to anyone, gear changes are soo much more crisp :)
 
Cheers bud

No i got the gearknob off ebay. Im not sure exactly which model it came off... Possibly a new leon fr? Or an ibiza fr?
 
Nice touch. Thanks I'm gonna keep a eye out for one of those.
 
Had a google and appears to be 2010 ibiza fr onwards

Some are all black like mine. And some have a black F and a red R! Looks good!
 
New plate! Means jack all to me but was a steal at £100! Suppose it has a J in it and i like the EGO bit

Hated the plastic cheapo handbrake so swapped it out for a nice perforated leather one off an octavia vrs

Also got rid of the horrible grey plastic rear view in favour of a black one

Subtle changes but its the small things
 
I got the handbrake and mirror for £30 posted

I didnt bother changing the whole unit. Just changed the cover. Hacked the old one to bits with a stanley knife
