Default Which Motor Mounts?

do you guys know what motor mounts i need? when i go from a complete stop at a fast takeoff, the back end of the motor tilts backwards at a 45 degree angle and then back straight. i got a 99 civic si. is this even safe?

Sounds like your rear mount is shot. If you want a stiffer mount, you can get a solid polyurethane mount from Hasport. The only caveat with a solid mount is that your dash will rattle. If you don't want dash rattle, you should stay OEM.

God no thats not good. Sounds like your rear mount isnt even there. Are your Trq mounts still in one piece? They should alleviate that sort of thing at least a little bit, enough so that your engine wouldnt tilt that far.

ya, if the rear engine mount goes then the motor will torque forward and back. those hasport mounts are pretty sweet but if your not wanting solid aluminum mounts there is a company called innovative that makes urethane mount inserts that just fit into the existing mount to strengthen. and they are cheaper too.

It sounds like you need part 3. You may need part 4 as well. Check part 4 on your car to see if there are any tears in the rubber.

These guys should be local to you if you are from San Jose. Los Gatos looks close in google maps, at least. They have it for $62, it looks like.

#7 is the T bracket and #3 is the mount. #4 is the Timing Belt side mount. Hard places to get to. Good luck.
