Default Finished my APR snub engine mount install...

and while it totally does take out lots of slack, and the shifting is much nicer, I need to fix the vibration. I know that others have gotten their vibration gone, I am having issues. Next weekend. The instructions from APR were fine, but they didn't tell you that it is really a PITA! heehee. I had never removed the bumper before either, and there really should be a FAQ on that. I think I will write one, as I am going to have to take it off again next weekend, I'll take lots of pics... I took lots this time, so I'll post my experience with pics on my site today or tomorrow... we shall see. but believe me, it is a pain.

But, it was totally worth the $50 (apr xmas sale) for the nicer feel.

I was downshifting just for kicks all the way home last night.

Default my vibration is back...

I did the "loosen the bracket bolts, run the engine, then retighten" thing, and it seemed to temporarily fix it (or maybe it was wishful thinking), but when the a/c is on...it feels like a 72 corolla with a bad misfire.

let me know if you find a permanent fix...

You guys should turn the mount around and install it backwards. Reduced vibration by ~80% for me.

Default how did you install it then?

I had it installed with the lip closer to the front of the car. I am assuming you have it now with the lip towards the back?

Default I have a writeup on my site...

Check out the Mods section on my Audi site. I still have some vibes. I'm going to see if someone from APR can check it out at the BBQ.

That's right. Now less of the mount is inside the stop/housing.
