i plan on goin all out on this motor and need to find some solid motor mounts for
my 97 civic sohc vtec motor. energy susp. makes some but they are just inserts
those are junk in my opinion planning on putting in a t3/t4. i need some like my
buddys awd talon those are awesome motor mounts! anyone knows who makes them
or sells them please tell me.

 

no one makes them as far as i know... they have to get custom made... i am makeing my own out of aluminum but its a pain in the ***!!!
the rear mount... i still have to drill the holes and i still had to modify it a bit to make it fit which i am doing now


the drivers side which i have to weld together... i already tapped the top and put a screw in it... i think ill still change it up a little though


not sure how im gonna do the tranny yet as i have a few issues i have to work out with it... but so far i made the bottom mount... this was my first attempt at a mount so the newer ones are better

just so u can get an idea... there's so many differant ways to do it though... hth

 

What is the advantages going to completely solid motor mounts? I would think ther would be massive vibration going through the car. Ending up with a very unpleasent idle. Any info wil be appreciated.

 

the performance difference between the energy suspension polyurethane inserts and solid mounts is very little (If any) especially when u still have all that longitudinal movement in the upper and lower control arms. solid mounts on a single cam civic are definately uneccesary.

 

Solid mounts! Gimme a break! ES poly inserts are great. They allow just the right amount of movement, but are still very stiff.

I like the inserts more than a full poly mount 'cause you still get a layer of real rubber between the poly and mount for added isolation.

How can anyone bitch about the excellent performance of the ES mount inserts when they're only like 40 bucks!!!

Now installation is another story...
