Solid front and rear engine mounts

[matt25649]

Can anyone give me a good reason not to go down this road? This is important for me as i can't really allow my motor to move front to back, well i can, but f all.

How come? Exhaust (ie: no flexis) or something other reason?

Extra vibration is presumably a reason not to I guess.

Anyway, are you going down the solid mount route. Or do you plan to get Pitstop or similar to inject your existing mounts with polyurethane?

[matt25649]

Ryan, good guess, yeah i don't have much room between the exhaust housing of the rear turbo and the firewall and i'd rather not modify my firewall, plus if i have solid mounts i won't lose the energy which is used to make the motor rock maybe?

Nah i'll be pressing out the original mounts and casting my own

Kenneth made mounts for his car, from Polyurethane I think.

Yeah, only did the front mount though.

Quite an increase in vibration as a result however nothing I couldn't live with.

Solid mounts will probably result in much more vibration, it'll be up to you if you can deal with it or not.

went to the mount shop and got me two roll stoppers which won't allow the motor to rock as much so hopefully i'll be fine
