Started the engine on the P5B for the first time after the subframe swap today. After a while it became apparent that theres a vibration that kicks in around 2000rpm that makes the whole car shudder. Went round tightening everything I could think of to no avail. While it was out I replaced one engine mount which had come apart but the other seemed perfectly servicable so I left it. Should I have replaced the pair? The rear mount was replaced with a JRW item after I damaged the frame when we sort of straightened it up again & it still seems o.k. The car never felt as good afterwards hence the need for the swap & to be honest I saw the rear crossmember was absolutely mullered when I got it out. This is a very unpleasant shudder & I don't think she'll waft along 'til this is sorted. I can't feel any movement when I try & move the engine myself though I don't think I can summon 180bhp myself. ::
Any ideas?
