Default Hardrace VS OEM Mounts

So I shop around for a set of stiffer motor mounts that would not make the car vibrate like crazy like the silicon mounts do and that most company sell. I wanted something stiffer and better then OEM that can be used at the track and for daily driving…. I settle for a set of HardRace mounts. There quality are out standing there rubber is much better then OEM and share the same style as OEM so vibration is very low. I only notice a little of vibration when the car is cold and at idle. I did get a chance to try them out at Etown road course and boy they made a differences. when the engine shifted from acceleration to deceleration you didn’t hear any clunk noise or actually felt the weight transfer like you do with the OEM worn out mounts. So at the end I was happy ! good for daily/track use. : ) in my opinion


Underneath side mounts




transmission mount



driver side engine mount

I notice in this picture the Hardrace mount is actually a Civic style mount. Notice how the ITR mount has the plate going across the mount with a bump built in. My 94 Civic has this bump built into the chassis frame rail so the mount has no plate across it. For these two torque mounts, that bump is meant to limit rotation of the engine. I wonder if this effects engine control...

If you look closely though, you will notice the Hardrace mount has the center is connected with rubber in a 3rd spot while the ITR one is not. Perhaps that helps compensate.
