Since The Red Car is trailered around to events and is truly intended to be a race car, the collective believes that solid mounts (or as close as possible) are the order of the day. I called the folks at AKG Motorsport having used some of their products on The White Car to discuss what would be best. The effort is becoming a “While you’re in there” kinda project. I figured why not replace everything now so I know what’s in there. Today a fairly heavy box arrived with:
- AKG 75D motor mounts
- AKG Group N replica transmission mounts
- AKG 75D differential mount
- AKG 75D rear subframe bushings
- AKG 75D rear trailing arm bushings
- AKG 75D front control arm (offset)
Luckily for me there was also a group buy setup on S14.net for the finned differential cover (which also arrived today). At least I can go press the bushing before installing it into the car. At some point the reinforcement points for the subframes need to be inspected …
