Vibration

Is it common to have a lot of vibration on tickover in seven style cars. I have used heavy duty rubber engine mounts and rubber exhaust blocks. I was thinking of softening things up. Any thoughts?

man up!

don't know if its normal, but i'd think it is. in the short times i've had my pick up running there's been a LOT of vibration though.
i certainly wouldn't worry about it

Just get a comfy seat and some noise cancelling headphones?

Oh, and keep the revs up!

Job done.

I've got an Aprilia v twin solid mounted in mine. It's not that bad (compared to a road breaker!). All part of the "charm"!!

Thanks for the replies, maybe I am being over critical. It will be used mainly for track use but would be tiring on any long journeys.

Yep tickover vibration is pretty normal, wouldnt worry though, just make sure everything important is still tight after 100 miles

try a hard mounted bec with no rubber mounts between engine and diff.... just hard core. The vibration is ok and will go away as bits of your body gradually lose feeling .....linky
