Default Vibration

Out of interest, i'm not sure if its because i've been using the car more lately, but i've noticed a pretty good vibration from the car recently.

this could be due to the Sti engine/transmission mounts and bushing on the car which is resulting in a little bit less dampening

sometimes, the vibration feels like its coming from the centre. its not the clutch, but it does feel like its coming from there. comes on and off. i'm curious to know if anyone do encounter this. as mention, i dont use the car much but only lately i have been clocking up more Ks.

nope, not that i can notice

i think i'm being paranoid
just sounds and feels like there's some abnormal vibration
gearbox is still pretty new, same with clutch, although it should be bedded in by now. its not the clutch, i'm pretty confident of that. i dont launch it.


where are you stace!!

shouldn't be anything serious, considering the box is still relatively new
i'll give it a a few more days of driving and see
might be paranoia
