-Exedy stage 2 3puck clutch, OMNI Power Quik Clutch master cyl.
-Energy suspension poly-urathane engine mount inserts only on side mounts
-Coil sleeves (ghetto i know till tein super streets arrive)

K problems...
This clutch setup peels 2nd HARD (mad wheel hop), 3rd chirps decent, and 4th squaks.

Last weekend, driving home from cliff jumping.. Didnt notice obviously that my ALT bolts were rattling off. got off the highway 1st lights i turn off the on ramp. give 1st gear, nailed 2nd, wheel hop. battery light comes on, pull over.. alternator is sitting on P/S rack..drive home, repair with loctite

Today driving. nailed 2nd gear, shifter drops to the ground. drive home, jack it up. the one shift linkage has completely been pulled out of the rubber bushing by the shifter.. tried to take the bracket off the bushing, bolts are fuct, disconnected it from the tranny, disconnected the other linkage at the shifter. slid the linkage back thru the bushing and bolted it all back up..

Go to drive again. BAMMMMM, same **** happens with the shifter.. get home. jack it up, repair it. i notice, heyyyy why is my cat hanging so low?

Rear engine mount BROKE!!! wen i installed the motor a month ago i put BRAND new $20 bolts from honda on the mount to the motor x2.... torqued to spec. and they rattled there self out im assuming right after the mount had broken.

to describe how the mount looks. well. both holes for the rear mount to the motor have sheared in half practically allowing the mount to slide off the bolts as if it was slotted...

WHY this b.s off a stock d??? not even solid mounts.. everything torqued to spec etc. etc...

any suggestions to these hassles?

Thanks in advance

get better mounts and dont drive so hard.

 

What do u consider better mounts. stock, or solid? i think or thought these would suffice as they're somewhere in between stock and stiffest mounts out there...

It real is bugging the **** outta me. I dont see how a stock d-series can break a mount LMAO

 

if you have bolts comeing loose on there own i doubt they were torqued to specs.....but if you say you did
got me?

 

maybe you should stop driving like a retard

 

Dont worry how i drive buddy. Yes. bolts torqued to spec. i got you...

Anyone able to give any proper suggestions.......

engine damper???

 

with enough force anything wil break. the motor is vibrating them loose, use loctite. should help some. and get some billet mounts if they are breaking.

 

are you missing any other mounts, or are any of the other mounts broken because then it would put more stress on the rear mount and could possibly cause it to fail

 

I would check your stabilizer mounts. IF they are bad, or not even on the car then the engine can move back and forth possibly breaking your mounts or bolts.

 

avid, innovative, az race, hasport..get the upper driver side mount. that alone is usually enough to keep the **** from shifting enough to break the other mounts. $120-150.
