Ahh that's interesting, I hate that when you floor it and it takes a split second to do anything. I always put it down to the ECU trying to "think" whether it's a good idea. Lol.

It's just a shame they're quite expensive. Can you tell a notable difference specifically from that Dan or did it just feel "fixed" given your other one had broke?

Would be good if we could get a group buy going. Are there a few people wanting one?




Yeah i'd be interested in one

either someones tells you the bushes are split or you take it off and find out for yourself dont think there is a way of telling while driving unless it all fell apart

Yeah, lets see if we can get a decent group buy price. We can set up a group buy thread definitely.

I have a feeling mine is either worn or a bit split, the engine twists quite a bit. Especially when I was on the rolling road, moreso than anyone elses.

Mine was flagged as split and a problem when my MR200 was fitted. A new one was put in. Now I'm thinking I might get the upgraded one instead

Well Burton Power sell 2 different versions, a HD (fast road) and a competition. The competition is the more expensive (but not by much) and is £136.44. Less than the £139 pumaspeed charge for what I assume is the fast road version.

Probably worth trying a few different places including vibratechnics themselves. If we get enough of us together they might sell direct at a good price.

thought id update this page,

had the vibratechnics link on for a couple weeks now. most people ask about the vibrations, yes, on startup it does sound violent but definitely calming down already and not massively noticeable during driving, altho mine does idle quite aggressively due to the mountune kit so i may not be best opinion there

in terms of driving, the gear changes are definitely better, the little hesitation that i hated when changing gears has gone, its now very smooth and a lot quicker because of it.

were talking fractions of a second here but for those who do want to squeeze everything possible out of their car pacewise then id recommend it
