So i've been thinking about some cars i've seen around with no tourque mounts , and im planning on buying some hasport's or innovative mounts , is it safe to take them out?

If you wanna shear your bolts off. I knew a guy who ran no tq mounts and shifted 9k all day and ended up snapping the trans bolts clear off ... I would run em

Even with hasport or innovative engine mounts?

they're there for a reason dude. i've seen the motor jump and pop a pimple into the hood because they didnt run torque mounts. but its up to you

I know that , but im wondering how is it that theres a lot of car's out there without them , dont they drive their cars or what

i have avid full race mounts (black inserts) and im not running torque mounts cause the mounts are strong/stiff enough that the torque mounts really dont do anything.. it all depends on your set up if your just getting street/strip mounts keep the torque mounts there but if your gettine straight strip mounts you dont really need them

this happened to 4 of my friends i can think of and myself
+ i blew my Left upper motor mount twice before putting them on

i put my right torque mount on and it made a world of difference, go figure lol

OMG DANNGGG

did he really shift 9k all day?!?! musta been a spoon motor...

...that or they improperly torqued the tranny bolts. idiot.

yeah there is a few reasons behind this. one is they are much stiffer. the 3 hasport mounts are 30000% stiffer than all 5 factory mounts.
two is engine location... alot of aftermarket kits put the engine in a slightly different location than the factory would've.. so they won't line up.

either way with aftermarket mounts... ditch'em

Thats what i was thinking , thank you for the straight answer

Hasport

the torque mounts are there for a reason

a. to keep the engine from torquing (obviously)
b. to keep the engine from entering the passenger compartment in the event of a crash

you should always run torque mounts regarless if you have aftermarket mounts or not

i had innovative mounts in my last swap and no torque mounts caused i believe my friend it wasnt going to be bad....and i ended up snapping the bracket off the motor on the driver side...it was smoking anyways but still always use your torque mounts...now i got b20 and torque mounts were the first to back on along with inserts.....

Im just gonna keep them when i buy my engine mounts , i was asking cause the bay looks soo good without them
