i have a question?

i was thinking, is it legal/worth it to actually weld some of the placements to the body for extra strength? i was thinking that i would weld the mount holder to the body for extra strength wherever the torch can get to.... does that make sense?

i'm afraid that these mounts would rip the "holder" from the frame????

or is that a waste or time/money??? tia. choiboi.

 

Avid. been running their mount kit on our SFWD for a couple years.
We're getting our stock on the solid ones for you SoCal racers wanting to pick them up.

 

Hows the ride quality and vibration factor compared to say some of the other aftermarket mount kits with poly bushings?

Thanks

 

IM getting these soon for my setup....

 

Has anyone tried just one solid mount rather then the whole set? I am thinking of trying just a solid tranny mount, as all the rest of mine feel nice with inserts.

 

If you were going to JUST do one solid mount, I would do the rear mount.

Get those stupid inserts out of there and put some quality stuff in their place.

 

Avid mounts do look awesome..Definitley a product worth investing in...

 

tempting and now I need a set

The Pro-series mounts will eliminate any engine movement. This will inturn transfer more power to your driveline and help cut down 60 ft times. With regards to the vibration, it will vibrate due to the fact that it is solid.

Is there any warranty on these mounts?

 

All, Avid engine mount kits are backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Put our set in last night, can you say rigid! Can't wait to see how they react this weekend. Waiting for our other sets come in as well.

 

These mounts are the ****! Replaced my hasports before the race this weekend and found that my rear hasport mount was busted Will not have to worry about that happening again. The motor does not move whatsoever. The install was no different then any other mount. Avid

Nice to know a motor does not move when you dyno the car, like it's going to flare up out of the car.

 

no love for the d-series crowd lol. they look awesome

 

I"m waiting for my set.

 

I here that they are coming out with some others.

 

when are these mounts going to be out for the public? I checked their site and see nothing

 

They are out on both EG-DC and EK with b-series. We have both instock. The K-series is coming shortly.

 

Why is the body the same shape as one with a urethane insert? Seems like a lot of extra material/weight for no reason. There must be 1 1/2" of aluminum around the steel sleeve.

 

To my knowledge they just casted a molding off the original mounts. Looks identical to the original less a urethane insert.

You do understand if you use the 92-95 civic chassis, and you use the 3 bolt mount setup on the timing belt side, you can use the same motor mount kit? Hell, even the 96-00 chassis will work also.

I've seen a couple of the 3 bolt timing belt mounts in 92-95 civic EX models.

You could do it this way as well. But, no need. We have the 2 hole driver mount as well in the Pro-Series.

 

good to know, thanks Franklin
