Can you buy uprated enigine mounts for an 8v Gti? If so where's the best place to get them from?

Vibratechnics make some of the worthwhile ones and they cost shed loads...

Vibratechnics Mk2/Mk3 Gearbox Mount     £65.00
Vibratechnics Mk2/Mk3 Gearbox Mount Competition    £70.00
Vibratechnics Mk3 16v Front Engine Mount    £120.00
Vibratechnics Mk3 Front Engine Mount Competition    £130.00
Vibratechnics Mk3 R/H Engine Mount    £60.00
Vibratechnics Mk3 R/H Engine Mount Competition    £75.00
Vibratechnics Mk3 VR6 Mount    £120.00

you can but cheaper (and nastier) poly ones but i personally wouldn't bother as they make the engine too rigid, creating loads of unwanted vibration and noise.

Thanks for the advice, I'm turning the car into a rally car so nose and vibration won't be too much of an issue! Vibratechnics looks the place to go. Thanks again
