Emira Engine / gearbox mounts Upgrade

[EFE]

Engine mounts now fitted and I can confirm it is a dramatic improvement. Crisp and tight gearchange, heal and toe braking vastly improved with less engine movement and an all together more connected experience. Sharpens it up for not much money and about 4 hours fitting.😁😄

But do you notice more noise and vibration? Just curious.

I can’t help but question a dramatic increase in feel for shifter, clutch, braking and throttle — it’s not like these controls are directly connected to the engine via linkages. These are all cable, hydraulic, and electronically controlled — none are mechanical linkages.

I’ve done on previous lotus. I could never feel a throttle or brake difference. Shifting was significantly better. Stock engine has a lot of fore and aft movement which translates to rotation. That changes the linkage geometry between acceleration and deceleration. The reduced changes in the geometry makes the shifting feel more predictable and tighter.

I have not noticed any difference, and I have installed the stiffer black inserts rather than the softer yellow ones.

Any pictures of them installed, or any part of the installation process? Are you going to do a write-up of the procedure/process?

They are almost impossible to see installed as they are black and insert into the gaps of the existing engine/gearbox mount. The engine/gearbox mounts where they are fitted are tucked up quite high under the rear sub frame. There is an exploded view that I posted earlier in this thread.
