1) Drive your car to a mechanic

2) Wait about 2 hour max and read mag (preferably fast fours at page 80 something aparently O.o) whilst the mechanic put them on.

3) 2 hours later, pay your guy and enjoy the whole new vibrations that the mounts has put upon you (not to mention power).

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

You'll love and hate them at the same time. Now, I've just grown to love the hate or just got use to it.

Hi There....

Guni is right on it with this one...

its def DIY'able... but really its a pain in the asss if you dont have ALL the right tools, and jacks.. etc etc.

front mount is supposedbly the easier of the two mounts... and the rear mount.. unless you have Asian Ninja Fingers/wrists/hands you'll be dropping the sub frame.

i'd seriously just go to your local friendly mechanic... (the one you go to for advise that wont fvck you over) and ask him nicely, if he can put them in for you for cheap...

Ask him if you can watch what he's doing so you can learn about your car... Mech's get enthused by this... well mine do anyways.

Take a Box of beer, or ask them if they can do it off the books for cash in hand rates...

if your dead keen on putting the mounts in yourself... have a read of some matrixowners.com threads.

good luck with it.. and once your used to the added vibrations... you wont look back... I swear it.

BKS.

Observation: If you look carefully at the pics Guni has put up, you will notice that the bracket for the engine damper (enjindanpa :rolleyes:) forms the right hand side clamp bracket for the C-One strut brace. Really handy if you have the C-One strubrace, otherwise one would need to grind off any obstruction for a Whiteline for instance.

I'd be prepared to get this based on what I know of them for Mazdas. Unfortunately I can only find them sold on foreign websites. :blink:

Gav.

EDIT: Any idea if the damper will fit under the engine cover?

Received the mounts today from the US! And1 did you end up doing it yourself? or get a mech? (install cost?)

Hey mate. Haven't got them in yet :( . I'm thinking of probably putting them in when I do my clutch/fly.

Its pretty hard to DIY so I'm gonna let someone do it.

Btw does anyone know of a place in WA that could get them in without stating that the whole mount would have to come out? Everyone I ask to install them give me a quizzical look as if they have never seen inserts before? Does anyone know who Angelo's mech was?

      Took the dust cover off, heart skipped a beat

      Not sure how many of the old guard are still around… fluids drained, fuel tank cleaned and lines purged, might be time to throw it into gear again.

      Need Advice please

      Suggest that you look at an online catalogue for struts/shock absorbers specifically for the Year and Model specification for your Camry. Easiest way to clean fuel injectors is to use a fuel additive together with decent quality fuel.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      For starters, you are referring to the BRAKE calipers. Missing bolts is highly probable that whoever last worked on the braking system did not properly tighten the bolts to the correct torque specification. Presumably, the brake pads were replaced approximately 6 months ago.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      Hi All, I have sent my car to a local mechanism shop as I heard a big scary clunk noise from the front left wheel part recently. And a huge surprise came back to me is, they told me that my break calipers has two bolts missing. I don’t think it is a common problem caused by daily routine driving. So really need to find out what was happened to that 2 bolts?! How lucky I was for driving nearly half a year without a tight break!! I even have kids on my car… can’t think more now. It’s terrifying 😱

      Engine Immobiliser

      Hi Chris, I would suggest getting a code scan as well mate as it could be something locking out the security starting process, and it may make tracking it down faster for you maybe worth the fee for a mobile mechanic who can do that for you as I doubt it will be a fuse or relay causing it sounds,like something in the security side of the process. I am sure if any others have ideas they will post it, these are just guesses on my part so I hope you get it sorted fast mate KAA

      Fuse boxes info

      I have a Toyota tarago 2002 acr30. I'm trying to find out where I can get the contents list of all the items in the fuse boxes. I think it has 4. I only have one cover in the engine bay fuse box. The other three have no information anywhere. Need to know what the items ( fuses, relays ) are for ?? If anyone can help would be a nights sleep for me..

      Rav4 Nightmare After Dodgy Mechanic

      Hey everyone, hope you're doing well! Unlike me and my Toyota, which is currently in a bit of a mess, haha. I'm reaching out for some help, feeling pretty desperate, to be honest. My 2013 Rav4 2AD-FTV Turbo Diesel is on the verge of being a total loss thanks to a dodgy mechanic who really messed things up. My car's was pristine, but then it blew the head gasket. I acted quickly, called up a mechanic recommended by a friend, and he towed my car away promising to assess the damage. He later reported that the engine was still in great shape but needed the head gasket reshaped to fix the issue. Weeks turned into months, and despite numerous promises and missed deadlines, my car remained in the shop. The mechanic stopped answering my calls or messages, and when I finally tracked down my car, it was sitting outside another workshop, unable to start. Cut to now, after seeking help from a reputable diesel specialist, they've replaced seals, checked compression, swapped injectors, and pretty much everything possible. But my car still struggles to idle, and they suspect the previous mechanic may have messed up something electronic or electrical. I'm at my wit's end. No auto electrician seems willing to touch it, fearing it's a money pit with no guarantee of success. It's incredibly frustrating, especially considering I may lose the car. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      Door seals - causing internal leak

      Hi experts need some help. I have a 2004 Sahara 100series. With all this rain we are having my car has started leaking. It was my father in laws car. It’s leaking water down the pillar trim where the handle is inside front seats onto the dash, down the side of airbag and glovebox and dripping from corner foot area where dash ends and onto the floor. I can see the seal on the roof above the door has a gap in it. Could this be it? 1Q. Who would I get to look at this? 2Q. Anyone had this issue before? 3Q. Where do I begin. Thanks in advance, Sarah IMG_3589.mov
